Choose a focus of either your final project topic or your career plan to develop an entrepreneurial assessment of yourself. This should be about a "1-page" activity. Some of these questions may help guide your thoughts: Do you want to be a "businessperson or an entrepreneur?" What traits and/or strengths do you see in your PDP that aligns with your thought? What weaknesses or opportunities for improvement do you notice that you would like to address to become a "businessperson or an entrepreneur?" Is entrepreneurship just about starting a business? Or is it much deeper and holistic than that? As the world quickly changes, which type of folks do you feel will be more on their "toes" and less on their "heels." Who do you think will achieve and live the happinesses that they seek in life?

here is a link to the comparisons I had shared in class:http://blog.topplaza.com/2011/07/businessman-vs-entrepreneur-whats-the-difference/

I see myself as of now as an entrepreneur, not as in a business sense but as in a career sense. An entrepreneur takes risks and is willing to work hard in order to achieve their goals. Being the President of a hands on experience oriented club, has forced me to put my reputation on line. If the club was to become less active and eventually feel apart my reputation would be tainted. The same way a business entrepreneur's reputation is on the line with their business. 

traits from PDP

proactive work ethic
effective leader 
adaptive 
quick to learn 


Weaknesses from PDP 

Fully developed core of knowledge
internalize feelings and some thoughts 

 

I feel that both types of people will be able to find the happiness that they desire. I feel this way because there are a variety of people in the world. Along with a variety of ways for all those people to find happiness. Also I feel as if either types of people could be more on their heels or on their toes. It just depends on the personality of the individual.
