Its towards the end of the semester and we are wrapping up with WCIYP and this chapter was about starting your own business. This talked about If you feel you don't want to work for someone and want to be your own boss. The part that caught my attention is when you have no idea what business you want to go into. I have had the struggle for years figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. When I read chapter 7 it went through the process to really understand who you are. I got a piece of paper and jotted down qualities I owned and stories that related to me. I wanted to make sure I knew who I was first and then what I really enjoyed doing. I am an individual that needs order in my life and being as organized in the work place is what I strive for. I went on to write down my skills and so on. The next step is to read and gain all of the knowledge you can acquire and there are a number of sites to help people start up businesses. Exploring is crucial and you want to make sure you interview people who have done a similar start up so you don't fall flat from failure.
Overall, I know after college I am definitely going to want to work with someone just so I can gain so much knowledge and really understand a business. I can read all I want about how to start up a business but actually doing it is another story. However this chapter did help me realize that it could be an option for myself in the future.
