So as I am a son of an entrepreneur I thought I had a good understanding of what it meant to be an entrepreneur and had a good understanding of what to expect of this course. The truth t is, I didn’t.
I didn’t learn all the terminology and steps I thought you have to walk to become an entrepreneur. But I learned this was also the complete wrong approach to become an entrepreneur. There is no handbook with steps you have to take on the path to success, instead there is only a wild river where you jump in and hope to surface still breading.
And so the course wasn’t teaching me a false reality where the most important thing was to know all the terms and names so you never look stupid among other entrepreneurs. No it learned my to step outside of my comfort zone and open up to all the possibilities around me. Don’t be afraid to look stupid or have nobody believe in you, prove them wrong and find out how willing people around you are to help you further.
In the first lecture Sadar told us to go out and go to start-up events and blog and much more, this I didn’t expect and one word get floating around in my head as I left the classroom, blog. This was something I simply hated and had tried to avoid as long as I could. But I must honestly say that I actually enjoyed it and saw myself growing in the ability to step outside my comfort zone.
Knowing now what I do and seeing what people make up the startup community I will finish my degree and would be very enthusiastic to become a intropreneur. As I think I could be very creative and am too passionate to become a 9-5 employee in a company but I also love engineering that much that I do see myself ending up a big company with the ability to be a game changer and focus completely on technology instead of having no sleep because I can’t find any funding. Combining these qualities I think become a intropreneur (a word I didn’t even know 6 weeks ago) suits me best.
