1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
The biggest surprise for me was when the author was talking about amount of risks associated with starting or buying a new business. It talked about the financial, career, family/social, and psychic risks that may come from being an entrepreneur, and it just shows how big of a commitment it is to becoming an entrepreneur.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
The part of the reading that talked about the model of entrepreneurial motivation was a little confusing to me because there are so many different things that play in to the whole model.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
I would first ask in which category of the Typology of Entrepreneurial Styles do most entrepreneurs fall, because I think that would be interesting to know how risk accepting most entrepreneurs are. The second question I would ask would be why do entrepreneurs put so much added pressure on themselves when they are already doing all that they can to achieve their goals because they have so many stresses to deal with.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
I don't think that taking risks should be associated with being a "destructive side" to entrepreneurship, because you have t take risks to succeed and make it to the next level in life. There will always be unwanted stresses and risks in life, but they have the potential to be beneficial and turn in to positives that build your character as a person.
