Very Short Interview No. 2
What I learned in the
first interview was that generally you always need to be pushing yourself if
you want to be a good entrepreneur and to take this class seriously. From where I stand now, I realize those
questions only scratch the surface of being an entrepreneur.
Interview: (I had to ask the questions via email
because Paige was out of town)
1.
How many times did you fail before you reached
your goal?
It took me a couple of years to eventually
get my company out there. I wouldn’t necessarily say that I failed any times
but rather ran into some speed bumps.
2.
How did you understand the financial part of
being an entrepreneur?
This part took a while, I knew the basic
concepts of what I needed to know but to ensure that I never went into debt or
had any financial problems I was lucky enough to have an accountant as a sister
who helped me learn everything.
3.
What was the hardest thing that you had to
overcome?
I think the hardest part was trusting that I
could reach my goal and create a company that I wanted.
I felt way more comfortable contacting Paige this time and
asking my own personal questions. This class has taught me that you have to get
past getting uncomfortable because if you want your product to grow you have to
ask people what they think. I think after the first interview of me telling her
that the questions came from an assignment to this interview telling her I just
had questions for myself that her responses where more laid back which shows
that I grew a little because she thought she was helping me personally rather
than for a grade.
