Week 3

This week I learned some amazing things both in my entrepreneurial class and out. One thing that I learned from the class is that lifelong learning can really be a benefit later in life. I read a story about a fascinating entrepreneur that dedicated her life to learning and always improving. After many years of being an entrepreneur, she had built up skills and obtained so much knowledge that she became extremely valuable. Many companies wanted her to be a part of their team. Because she had the desire to keep learning and keep trying, she had an amazing career. This is they type of career that I want to have. I want to keep learning and keep trying so that my skills and knowledge become valuable.
Something that I learned out of class is the advantage of having a team. The more people you know, the more connections you will have and the more connections you have, the more possibilities will come. I was recently listening to an entrepreneur that invests in real estate. One of the things that he said is to always have the appropriate team members. He had a lawyer, a broker, and a construction inspector. Because of these three connections, he would learn about great deals that he would have never heard otherwise. His construction inspector would go down to a property and inspect if it was worth the cost and if it was, he would let the investor know. All the investor had to do was sign papers because his team took care of everything! This is amazing to me and really helped me to see the value of having a team.
