Entrepreneurial Mind: 3rd Week of Discussion

In this week of discussion, we were tasked to present our concepts and explain its features and uniqueness. Each of our ideas and patents were evaluated, they questioned its purpose and significance to the society.

Entrepreneurial Mind is a subject which requires a broad imagination of ideas and concepts. This past week, the discussions of basic principles and behavioral patterns in entrepreneurship have been applied in our activities.            For this week’s lesson, we discussed the behaviors which entrepreneurs and business tycoons have possessed. These behavioral patterns are guidelines to young entrepreneurs on getting their way to success. On this discussion, there’s a behavior that I can relate to, the perfection vs. good enough. Between these two behaviors, before, I thought it was better to keep working on perfecting your product and to perfectly plan your business before marketing it. But it’s not. I’ve learned that perfection in your mindset is just keeping you from being versatile and being innovative.            One activity that requires your confidence and reasoning skill is the nerve-wracking Rejection Therapy. Rejection Therapy is an activity to train students to b
