IA5

     The guest speaker class that I really enjoyed the most was when Becca Harris came in and spoke to us. When we first got into class, she asked us to put our phones away and to close our lab tops. Immediately our entire class was engaged because she interacted with us in an effective way. She talked about Entrepreneurship which I find extremely interesting because one day I hope to be an entrepreneur.
    One of the things I took from the lecture was how important it is to be willing to take risks as an entrepreneur. Whenever you're in charge of everything that goes on in your business, risks must be taken in order to be successful. Every day as en entrepreneur you will be faced with risks so its very important to have the ability to deal with them accordingly. Another thing that was talked about during the lecture is being smart about knowing when to enter and exit a business. She made a reference about how she went in and out of a business when it made the most sense for her personally.
     I think having the knowledge of knowing when to go in and out of a business can be related to what we learned about from the textbook. In the textbook , one of the things that was talked about was being smart about investing your time in certain areas of business. Knowing when and when not to invest your assets in a particular business or company is crucial.
