If you had one final lecture to share with a group of students on what you have learned from this course, what would you share?
This has been an interesting and very informative course. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I registered for it but am surprisingly pleased. The most important lesson or idea that I learned over this semester is to find and then do something you love. When you do something you love, it can make weathering the storms seem a bit easier because you are doing work that you enjoy. Life is short and there isn’t time to waste being unhappy. Being an entrepreneur can be something exciting if you make it exciting. It doesn’t mean that it will always be easy but learning how to work effectively is important when owning your own business.
What would be your last bit of advice to someone wanting to begin the entrepreneur journey?
Networking! Networking is extremely helpful in any career you choose. If you are able to build a stable and wide network it will help you be able to do better in your business. There are often times that you can help another business and then they in turn can help you. Keeping track of your network and staying involved with them will and does improve your business as well as your ability to work effectively.
What words of advice, direction, or caution would you give him or her if you had only one chance to give your own last lecture?
The most impressive words of advice that I could give to someone is slow and steady wins the race. This is a common phrase that most people know about. But they don’t always take it seriously. Many people want to take the easy way in their personal and professional life. It may work for some but that is an exception to the rule. When you start your business it’s normal to not see much growth or earnings right away but if you run your business honestly and truly work your hardest, it increases your chance of success. Many people want to give up after the first difficulty because they want things to be easy or thought that it would be easy. But nothing that is worthwhile will be easy. Take your time, follow your gut, and trust the process.
