What I’ve appreciated most about this course has been
learning through the experiences of others in the real world. So much about
getting an education is beyond what a book will teach you about being an
entrepreneur but rather what the real life experiences are of others that we
can turn to and apply to what we see and face every day. For instance, there is
much to be learned about being a good manager and a resilient entrepreneur from
Randy Haykin and Larry North this week. Each comes from diverse backgrounds and
has their own unique experiences that led them to be successful entrepreneurs.
There isn’t just one way to do it and there isn’t any guarantee that it will work
in the end.
With Randy he developed strong relationships with former
colleagues and bosses who he was able to call upon when he was considering new
ideas or wanted a change of scenery. He didn’t just wait for things to happen
but rather took his experiences and let the ball start rolling by parlaying
those experiences and skills he learned from each of his jobs and started new
companies. He made it a point to be well rounded and use his knowledge and
relationships as an asset to begin new businesses.
