1. One thing that I did not expect, but makes sense to me, is that many entrepreneurs use their businesses as a way to deal with loneliness and coping with people problems. It is something that I had never previously thought about. I suppose having something like a business that can ALWAYS keep you occupied can allow a person to forget about their social issues and focus more on themselves and trying to be as successful as possible.
2. The table about the typology of entrepreneurship styles was a little bit confusing to me at first but was clarified with the reading. Even then, it still took me a bit to really understand what was going on in the table.
3. If I could ask the author two questions, I would ask:
- Being an entrepreneur means that you will have to deal with failure time and time again; but what if you have to deal with failure on a very regular basis? At one point do you call it quits and move on to do something else?
- If an entrepreneur does not have a Type A personality, to what extent will this affect their successes? And will these effects be positive or negative?
4. To be honest, there wasn't anything that the author said that I disagreed with. It was a pretty straight forward reading . All of the characteristics that the author described in an entrepreneur seemed to fit well and the reasons for why some people elect to become an entrepreneur made sense.
