Your Exit Strategy

Your exit strategy

1.

I would like to keep the non profit for decades, and happily retire at 65 years old. I think at this point I will be pretty satisfied with what the organization has accomplished. Also, I would like to save some time in my life to travel the world.  

2.

I chose this exit strategy because I am very passionate  about this cause, and I would like it to have the greatest effect on the world. There are visually impaired individuals throughout the world who believe that they are not capable of anything, and my goal is to change that. 

3.

I believe that my exit strategy has definitely influenced some of the decisions  I made. One example would be my  decision  to expand the non profit throughout the united states, and other parts of the world. I also decided to bring in long term mentors for the clients, which means I would be committed long term, because of relationships that were created.        

Reading Reflection 3

 Failing at almost everything but still winning big

1.

The general theme of the book is the notion that no matter how much you fail, you can learn from those situations and still be successful.

2.

The book connected with what I am learning in ENT 3003 because building a business will not always be successful the first time around. The author tried to create over thirty different businesses until he finally found one that worked. The author never gave up, and as an entrepreneur you must do the same.

3.

I would create an exercise that allows the students fail five times before they are successful the sixth time. I will basically rig a game, and record the reactions to the students every time they lose. Then after they play the game for the sixth time, and finally win, I will record the reactions, and compare them to the first five reactions.

4.

The thing that surprised me the most about the book was when the author stated "goals are for losers." If you want to know why he said this, you will have to read it for yourself! Over all, this was a great read, and I would recommend it to practically  anyone.    

Celebrating Failures

 1.

One point during the semester where I failed was a few weeks ago in the middle of the semester when I decided to take a trip back home to Miami. While I was packing my bags, I was in a bit of a hurry, and unfortunately I forgot some very important items. All of my assignments for ent 3003 were completed, and I decided that I would turn them in once I got to Miami due to the rush. Unfortunately, the cord  necessary to transfer files from my note taker to my laptop was left in Gainesville, so there was literally no way possible to turn in my assignments. Honestly, I was livid with myself! There was no one else to blame, so I just had to bite the bullet.

2.

I learned that when I wait until the last minute to do certain things its not always going to end well. I also learned that I need to be much more diligent in certain areas of my life.

3.

Failure sucks! After mid night struck, and I missed the assignments I felt like trash. Although I felt horrible, I new that I had to respond in a positive way. After being in this class for almost a full semester I have learned that failure is good. Failure must happen for us to grow as human beings. I am definitely less likely to take a risk when it comes to home work, but over all risks are not a bad thing to take. They can either end up really good, or really terrible.
