I revisited my first interview and reached out to again Vi Nguyen. She is a freelance Entrepreneur who goes around various companies to offer her skills as an asset. I was able to contact her because my family keeps close contact with her and she was always there to give me advice.
Question 1: Do you think that you will continue to be an entrepreneur in the future?
Answer: If the right opportunity presents itself, then yes. I want to keep my mind open and learn more about what could be improved in society.
Question 2: What do you think is the most important characteristic of an entrepreneur?
Answer: Definitely value! Its not enough to simply have an idea you think will make money. There are plenty of those. Think of an idea that is fundamentally unique and creatively different than existing ventures. Money is simply a means to an end and entrepreneurship is the process of creating value in the market.
Question 3: For your entrepreneurial journey what have you learned that has stuck with you the most?
Answer: I would have to say failure. Failure is something that one must accept before moving forward. Without failure one can never learn and take the necessary steps to succeed.
Definitely my comfort level now is way higher than it was three months ago and I am really glad about it. This class definitely has helped me grow in ways that I didn't think I could. The entrepreneur took note of comfortable and more confident I was since the first time we spoke so that is definitely proof of my progress.

ReplyDeleteI really liked your entrepreneur's definition of what she thinks is the most important characteristic of an entrepreneur. The line about money just being a means to an end, but entrepreneurship being the process of creating value in the market is so true. I think that's what separates entrepreneurs from those who are just looking to make money.
