1) What was the general theme or argument
of the book?
-The main theme/argument of
the book is basically the title: How to fail at almost everything and still win
big (Scott Adams). One of the main points brought up in the book is to always
be doing something that makes you actually want to get out of bed early and start
beginning your day.
2) How did the book, in your
opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
-ENT3003 has taught me many
things. One of these things is to always be passionate about your projects and
your goals and to never give up. One of the class’s key points is that many of
the best Entrepreneurs have failed and given up but always succeed in the end
and make it big in the world. This connects to the book in the sense that he
also refers to never giving up and how to go big in the end.
3) If you had to design an
exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise
involve?
-The exercise would be to make
goals and write things down that excite you or that you find joy in doing…things
that make you want to hop right out of bed in the morning and get to doing. And
then to actually go out in the world and do those things and turn them into
jobs and businesses.
4) What was your biggest
surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you
learn that differed most from your expectations?
-He says in the book “Look after yourself first. This involves eating right,
exercising, avoiding unnecessary stress and getting enough sleep.” I always
neglect to actually check up on myself and my health. I never wake up early or
eat breakfast. This was my ‘aha’ moment because no one normally says that you
need these things to start up a business.
