Reflection on the lecturer presentation (Eric Hanberg)
I knew that we had a lecturer that day, so implicitly I had
some expectations. I had a feeling that we are going to see an extremely successful
entrepreneur who started his career from something like $20 and now has become
a billionaire in several years. Also, I had some expectations that the person
would already have a working company with several to many employees. To my surprise,
it was not quite what I expected. My first feelings were very different.
Because of my high expectations, it was a bit disappointing. Probably many
people read stories about poor people becoming rich. This was not one of them,
though can become one later (who knows…).
Eric’s story of beginning several things is alike mine to
some extent. I did web crafting and several other things, which could be a good
beginning. Instead, I did not think to bring it to that level to start
organized business and get money out of it as much as fun (because I liked what
I did).l
Eric inspired me to follow my dream and be ready to go
through tough times before getting success. I believe that to be an
entrepreneur I need to have a strong spirit and be strongly motivated and
determined to continue in rough environment.
Like professor Fry said, an entrepreneur also needs to have
luck. Good luck everyone!
