Week 8 Reading Reflection

While reading this week’s reading I came across nothing that was confusing but I did find it surprising about all the myths about venture capital. The majority of this chapter talked about all the different ways to make sure that capital is raised and ways to ensure that they are no problems.  If I were to ask the author questions, they would be about the essential elements for a successful presentation. I think that there should just be more details or examples. Throughout the chapter, I didn’t find anything that I disagreed with. I agree with what the author says about capital. Mostly because I am not sure of the different ways to raise capital.

1.       Tenaciousness is a skill:

 

For this class, there are a lot of assignments. To make sure no assignments are missed you have to set aside a little bit of time everyday dedicating to completing at least one assignment.

 

2.       Tenaciousness is also about attitude:

There have been a lot of times in the past two months that I have felt like not doing an assignment because it was uncomfortable to do. I pushed through by realizing that the task was not that hard and that by doing it, I would be a better entrepreneur from it.

3.       Three Tips:

 

·         Think of the assignments not as tedious but rather as training you for the future.

·         Think of the overall goal of completing this class as being a better entrepreneur.

·         Make sure you take every assignment seriously.
