Week 3 Reading Reflection

1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? 

One of the huge things that stood out for me was at the beginning of the chapter when the author decided to go into some psychological framework describing some problems entrepreneurs faced. I just was very thrown off by the way the book started taking a direction of mental focus for the entrepreneur. It was very interesting.

2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you?

One of the things that was a bit confusing to me was the ethical challenges for corporate Entrepreneurship. It was just hard to follow exactly what the graph was trying to depict when it came to the ethical standards.

3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?

A. What do you think is a reasonable realistic way to address the Entrepreneurial Ego?
B. How did you come to the conclusion that Entrepreneurs specifically have 6 important aspects of stress relief?

4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
I think that the statement that said that Entrepreneurs are driven by a strong need to control their venture and destiny could be wrong. I personally know a guy who is considered an entrepreneur and for him he prefers to go with the flow of what the investors need from him. If there are some aspects that he knows not to focus on he's okay with that. He likes to delegate tasks to others and not be completely in control.
