1) You read about an entrepreneur:
- What surprised you the most? Her upbringing in poverty. I was not expecting her upbringing to have been so troubled.
- What about the entrepreneur did you most admire? She never gave up. She was determined and continually pursued her ideas.
- What about the entrepreneur did you least admire? Her lifestyle, as a mistress.
- Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it? She did. She faced setbacks and controversies, but kept pushing and pursuing what she wanted. She made her own unique path, and continued on.
2) What competencies did you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited? She was very talented in designing clothes. She had an eye for fashion and was able to create trends.
3) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you. Her connection with Germany during the war. I was not really confused, it was just odd to me.
4) If you were able to ask two questions to the entrepreneur, what would you ask? Why?
I would ask if she has any regrets in life and how did those things affect her work. She led a very different life that many would find controversial, and I would be curious as to what her view looking back over her life was, and how she feels that it affected her career.
5) For fun: what do you think the entrepreneur's opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion? I think she knew how to work hard and would do whatever was necessary to get where she wanted to be. I agree with working hard and creating your own success through hard work.
Hey Robert, I think you did well at fulfilling the requirements of this assignment. I am interested in learning more about Lisa Chaney. I chose the book, Miracles Happen, Mary Kay Ash because I had heard of her brand and knew enough about her background to relate to her and want to know more.I suppose my only question for you is what lead you to choose this book?
ReplyDeleteHello Robert, you did a good job with this reading reflection! This was actually one of the books I was thinking about reading and having read your post, I am more interested in it. I like the you also took advantage of the fact that there was no minimum word requirement and kept it short and simple (literally what I did). If you’re not sure what to read for the third reflection, I recommend reading Shoe Dog!
ReplyDeleteHi Robert, I also picked Coco Chanel for my reading reflection. I think you did a great job answering the multiple questions about her. What surprised me the most also, was her upbringing and seeing how troubled it was. It was inspiring to see the hard work and dedication she put in to get her to where her company is today. overall you did a great job!
