I really enjoyed our guest speaker last night. I thought hearing from someone who was successful and had practice in more than one market was definitely helpful. I especially liked how he was very realistic in his explanations. For instance, when he was talking about his friend who wanted to own a truck driving business, he stated that in order to be successful in the long run, you're going to have to make sacrifices when starting out. His friend that didn't want to drive the truck for a few years in order to get his feet of the ground was a great example of such sacrifices a newfound entrepreneur would have to make. I also found it interesting that many other students in my class see trying to start a business fresh out of college as a difficult task. Ideally I would love to be my own boss and create a business that solves some kind of a problem. One of things the speaker kept mentioning was the how many times the hardest part to starting a business is just taking the leap. I would like to say that I would be able to do it, but if ever faced with the opportunity where I could take that leap, I'm not sure if I would have the courage to do so.
