Week 9

I liked the mentor session this week because it helped me to analyze where I am at with my concerns and to think about possible solutions. Thinking about your concerns and writing them down is surprisingly helpful when it comes to being able to have the courage to overcome them. I was able to write out my thoughts and see the flaws and also to see what concerns were valid. Thinking about ways to reduce the risk and to make being an entrepreneur more realistic and less risky it helps you have the confidence to actually try it. I liked how in the book it talks about the fear of becoming an entrepreneur and it talked about the benefits of being young when starting a business. It was encouraging to see that some of the most successful people started companies when they were young.

I absolutely love the way that Google works with their employees and encourages employees to spend 20% of their time pursue whatever they want. I think this would be a good philosophy to carry out on my own and to try to set aside time to make sure I pursue dreams of my own and to try things out. Putting time aside and not worry about what I do with it can help me be more creative and inventive. I hope that I can create a company someday that I would be able to employ ideas like that and afford to create an environment of creativity like that.
