Reflection 1
Being an entrepreneur should not be just about making money, but also making a
difference. It should be about making life better not only for ourselves, but for others as well.
You may have come across businessmen who have a negative reputation with their
employees due arrogance or stubbornness. This is where some entrepreneurs fall short.
Although there is a need to take the business seriously, employees who feel unhappy in their
work environment are less likely to become productive. The topic of Miss Marianne
Abelgas which is entrepreneural perspective strucks me the the most due to her discussion
that touch the four basic aspect of entrepreneurship. Through her brief and concise discussion,
I am enlightened that entrepreneurs enjoy the independence, freedom, job satisfaction, and
money, but believe the long hours, stress, responsibility, risk, and lack of company benefits are
business work and can eliminate any distractions. They are consistent in all of their activities
and can maintain this for as long as needed. Every moment can possibly present a new
understand what is working, and what isn’t. It also means that you can adapt quickly to take
advantage of changing circumstances. Not only are you skilled at leading yourself and
determining your path, but you are skilled at leading others. An Entrepreneirual Mindset gives
you an understanding of the importance of teamwork, as well as the need to appreciate others,
Reflection 2
Second meeting of this course catched my attention by the topic of Miss Cynthia Felias,
The Entrepreneurial Skills. She discussed that the entrepreneural skills encompass a broad
range of various skill sets like technical skills, leadership and business management skills and
creative thinking. Because entrepreneurial skills can be applied to many different job roles and
industries, developing your entrepreneurial skills can mean developing several types of skill
sets. Negotiation is one of the important skills as a businessman, she explained further that
negotiation is a very powerful skill. Successful negotiation can help an entrepreneur clinch
deals that may otherwise slip through his fingers, settle small differences before they turn into
costly disputes, and develop and capture maximum value in agreements reached.
Based on her topic I additionally understand that negotiating requires give and take. You
should aim to create a courteous and constructive interaction that is a win-win for both parties.
Ideally a successful negotiation is where you can make concessions that mean little to you, while
giving something to the other party that means a lot to them. Your approach should foster
goodwill, regardless of the differences in party interests. A good negotiation leaves each party
I look forward in using this knowledge I gained upon starting my little business in the
near future. I am very thankful that I enrolled this course for it assess my understanding in an
