Being an Entrepreneur...

"Entrepreneurship is a way of life.  It is a driving force that compels you to do more, move faster, and go farther than anyone else, even in the face of high risk and uncertain outcomes."

This scares me the most about what I hope to learn more about Entrepreneurship 475. I'm no business major, but I understand the concept of wanting to run your own life and not having to be held accountable to a boss and being your own. However, I'm not one for uncertainties in life and high risks come with doing it all on their own, but who doesn't want to have the ability of being profitable by their own hands? "Cube monkey" jobs suck. I know plenty people with them, most of which hate answering to their boss overlords.

"Laser focus is another feature of entrepreneurs.  There are many people that are creative, 
but lack discipline.  Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, have both qualities."


I'm working on my "laser focus" as I type this. I know that my time is valuable but often I get sidetracked and wish to go watch some more "Know Your Meme". (Use this is in Virtural Worlds next time you teach it!) I want to be sure that I am up to the task of forging a technology business, so instead of burning my time in the fun zone of the internet, I will use it to learn a new skill such as creating visual effects and motion design in After Effects via Video Copilot or honing my skills in audio production at my current job.

The world is a dangerous place and if you don't get out and take a few risks to get ahead of the rest in your field, prepare to be left behind.

Bonus: "Know Your Meme" - "FAIL"







EDIT: ADDED TITLE FOR MY OWN SELF REMINDER!
