I see myself as a kind person who always has others happiness in mind. I also use this trait in my business ventures. I believe that I am very entrepreneurial, and always looking for ways to turn things into profitable businesses. Others see me the same way, they think that I am kind and that I am intuitive. Most of my interviewees said similar things that aligned with the list that I created at the top of this post. I believe that my interviewees are correct about me, due to the fact that most of their points matched the qualities that I created for myself. I would not make any corrections to my list from part one. I think that my list highlights the core traits and skills that I posses. I firmly believe that these traits make me a well rounded person, and that there is no need to adjust the list.
David, when I did my interviews I also had most of the same characteristics that were on my original list and I also did not make an corrections to my list either. It made me glad to know that other people saw me the in the same ways that I saw myself, which made me appreciate this assignment even more.
ReplyDeleteHey David,
ReplyDeleteI think you have all the characteristics that make a great entrepreneur. Specifically, the drive you described. Being driven is important to help you stay on track in your endeavors. Being approachable also helps make you a better leader of a company. I think it is really important for leaders to not see themselves as superior to their employees and being approachable helps with that.
