I think that initial interview was very informative. The entrepreneur i chose was giving me his perspective on starting from nothing and transforming it into something successful. Nelson gave me a heads up and a quick preparation guide to succeeding in this course.
Question 1: How often do you make rookie mistakes in the business?
NC: "I'd like to say i make one everyday. Everyday is a new day to learn and mess up. Although i have been in the business a while, I am still learning day by day."
Question 2: Would you ever change you ways of running your business in the future?
NC: "I wouldn't make any drastic changes but i would do adjustments wherever necessary."
Question 3: Do you often look back and wish you did anything different in you business?
NC: "I do not. I do look back but i don't regret anything. If i wish i had done anything different, i would not be where i am today."
I am comfortable in talking about entrepreneurship. I actually find myself, when talking to entrepreneurs, speaking of this course and all the things i do within it. It not only makes me sounds like i know what i am talking about, but proves that i also have an idea of it. Nelson saw a lot of improvement and knowledge that he did not notice during our first interview. He felt like he was talking to a business partner whom he knew was reliable, when speaking to me.
Hey Cristal,
ReplyDeleteGreat interview. I agree that one thing this class has helped with is giving me more familiarity with talking about entrepreneurship, or asking questions specific to entrepreneurship. I like that your interviewee was also very honest with you in talking about how she makes mistakes. Good post overall.

Hey Cristal,
ReplyDeleteI liked that you asked how often you entrepreneur makes rookie mistakes because it is nice to know that even experienced entrepreneurs will always make mistakes no matter how long they have been doing it. Great job on your interview.
