Lesson 11 Entrepreneurial Journal

Lessons Learned:

I especially loved learning about Steve Jobs this week.  His story is so inspiring.  Going from dropping out of school to Apple is certainly a leap he was not expecting.  Be he is a true innovator and didn't settle for the status quo of life.  I really loved his ideas about dreaming big and finding work that you are passionate about.  I really want to focus on finding a career I can be passionate about when I graduate and not just settle for the first job that comes along because I am afraid no one will hire me at my age.  I was really able to use Steve's "connect the dots" analogy in seeing out my life has been a series of dots that were connected.  Though I'm not sure I understand some of those dots yet, I have faith that they are for a reason.  I like the way his perspective on life changed after his first scare with cancer.  Asking yourself every day if what you are doing is important and a priority that will help accomplish your dreams.  I liked Guy Kawasaki's lesson he learned from Steve Jobs.  I especially like when he said "Customers cannot tell you what they need -- customers will tell you they want better, faster cheaper--that is, better sameness, not revolutionary change.  Sometimes all you need to do for the customer is make something better, whether it's a process or a product.

$100 Challenge:

This week I did not work specifically on my $100 challenge because I am in the middle of moving.  I have thought about different ideas I can look into when I get settled to create more business.  I am going to look into medical transcription because those services always need typing done on a daily basis, and for the most part, you can accept as much work as you want.  I would like to still find more ways to get work generated for my business.  My numbers are the same as last week:  Revenue $143, Expenses: $10, Net Profit: $133.
