In working to
complete my Bachelor’s Degree, I am taking an Intro to Entrepreneurship
class! This blog has been created as an
assignment for that class, but it will be a wonderful gathering place for my
thoughts, reflections, and other general musings about business. It will become a valued collection to me as I
grow in knowledge and understanding with my career!
I had to select
and read a book of my choice (from a list of course) on entrepreneurship, and I
chose Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Sharon L. Lechter and Robert T.
Kiyosaki. This book had amazing insights
on money and financial freedom. Several
of my favorite quotes from the book include:
“There is a difference between being
poor and being broke. Broke is
temporary. Poor is eternal.”
“Most people never see
these opportunities because they are looking for money and security.”
“It’s not how much money you make,
but how much money you keep!”
My understanding
of finance was really enlarged by such simple teaching, and I have so many
thought of great way s to implement some change in my personal point of
view! I am excited to write my report
for next week, and clearly define my thoughts as it pertains to this vast sea
of knowledge hidden in the text.
This week we
also browsed through many business blogs, and were assigned to pick a favorite
to follow for at least the semester. I
chose to follow www.workhappy.net, which is a blog what
give practical advice, and really quick/simple tips on business. I am looking forward to digging in deeper
into his site, and finding treasures that will expand my understanding of the
business world.
We are just
starting to learn about the $100.00
Entrepreneur Project that we will be completing this semester. I am fairly excited about this opportunity to
learn in a very hands on sort of way, and I know
that it will come with its challenges, but I say bring it on!
I am really
excited about my future, and the direction that I am going with my degree, and
future career. I am looking forward to
becoming a human sponge and soaking in all the information that I am able to
hold (and a little more)!
