What are the chances of success??

#T Inst 475

After reading the guidebook I feel like chances of getting success as an entrepreneur is quite low because to be successful you need to face many obstacles. If one gets a really good idea eventually it will be hard to implement it because then you need to to think about what kind of team you want to help you grow your business and also you need to find investors that find your idea creative.  Creativity plays a big role for entrepreneurship because if ones idea is innovative and does something that our community is lacking then and only then it may work. First of all one has to think about a strong team that can handle well and work well together. So management is really important. Then I feel another obstacle is money because in order to succeed one needs some kind of push to grow the business and that push is called money. Money is important because in order to succeed you need to get all the equipments to start the work. So looking for investors won't be that easy if you don't have many connections, but these days its not hard to make connections because we have sites like LinkedIn. Also, in order to find investors and to assure them one needs to have socializing skills because if you can't explain clearly to your investor they probably won't want to invest in your company. 
To conclude, entrepreneurship  isn't easy to do but in order to succeed in it one needs confidence and needs to be focused/determined.

So after watching this movie we got to see the perspective of two young entrepreneurs that were trying to reach success.  We get to see their journey from when they started and how they started which was really fun to watch. This documentary was involved around two friends one named Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and Tom Herman.  In the beginning these two fellows were trying to figure out the name of the company. They were arguing about what should they name the company. Kaleil thought maybe govWorks wont work but after giving another thought he said yes and said that govWorks will be a good choice. After that they tried to find investors. They purposed there plan to many investors where some investors were like go to the west coast because they do internet related stuff, but they didn't give up. They found the right investors and went along, but had to face many obstacles but thats how business works. As the documentary was going along, we as viewers saw how from 8 employees the company was

How do you getting funding?

Funding plays a big role in business. When you have an idea but it requires a lot of money then one needs a good amount of money to make the idea work. In class we went through the step to get funding. So its good to go over it because I now have an idea how I want to get funding.  Basically self funding will be a good start and as we learned in class most entrepreneurs take that step because they are just starting. So after a little bit of self funding then the next step is borrowing money from family/friends. This step can be easy to do or hard because it depends on your family/friends if they want to invest money to make you successful. So in process of funding family/friends can help. So for sure i'm going to take this step and ask for money because the product I am trying to create has sensors involved  and will cost money. Then comes the next step of Angel investing. After lecture we learned that Angel's are private Accredited investors who seek to make investments in you

Guest speaker

So in class we got our first guest speaker which was exciting because we as a class got to learn more from someone who was an entrepreneur. The guest speaker was named Erik Hanberg and he talked about the ups and downs he had in business and also talked about what kind of business he does. So he talked about how he loved reading and writing books so he became a publisher and he also told us what types of books he writes and how he markets them. He also told us a technique where we can test the market by sharing the story that he was marketing a book before he even wrote it. So after that he found out that people are interested and wanted to buy it, he then started to write the book. So this shows he was trying to test out whether his business will work or not which is a great and helpful idea. Not only that he released many books and one of his book even got sold out about thousands of copies which is a huge thing. Eric also talked about how he loves entertainment and thus started the
