Week 3 Reading Reflection

In Chapter 2, I was surprised, yet pleased, to read how entrepreneurs are so relatable.  They make mistakes and encounter problems, but that doesn't mean they have to solve literally every issue in their life and they know insolvable problems exist.  

I'm slightly confused on just how entrepreneurs know they are making the right behavioral and entrepreneurial decisions according to a model of entrepreneurial motivation.  I was also confused/intrigued by the concept of grief recovery, but only because I think very few failures should be followed by a period of mourning. 

The two questions I would ask the author are: 
  • Should an entrepreneur be feared or liked? 
  • How do you deal with emotional side (grieving, stress, anxiety, etc.) of entrepreneurship? 
There actually wasn't any part of the reading I disagreed with.  In fact, there was one mention of something in the text I agree with wholeheartedly: entrepreneurs don't believe their successes or failures of their businesses derive from luck.  I believe in setting goals, working hard, fate, and being at the right place at the right time.
