Week 2 Reading Reflection

Chapter one of our textbook outlines what an entrepreneur is and what it takes to be one, as well as all of the factors that come into play.  What stood out the most to me was reading about the different myths of entrepreneurship.  Most of the myths I read I had thought to be true and it was interesting to learn about a completely different side. Reading about the macro view and the micro view and the differences between them was another topic that stood out to me.  Every topic we learn about has such an abundance of information and we do not realize that until we have the opportunity to learn about it. There really was no part of the reading that I found to be confusing.  I felt that the whole chapter was pretty straightforward and covered the necessary topics to give us a first look into entrepreneurship.  Two questions I would ask the author would be what his experiences with entrepreneurship have been and what are his favorite parts about being an entrepreneur.  I think these questions would allow me to learn more about the author as well as to learn more about the knowledge he has gained throughout his life. I do not believe anything the author said was wrong.  Until this class, I have never really thought about entrepreneurship or what it means to me so from just reading the first chapter, I would have to say that I agree with the things that were written.
