Class 16 – Carl: 3 Things

I spoke about my personal experiences as a entrepreneur in a “3 Things” format: three things we did right and three things I did wrong. (It takes a team to do things right, but doing things wrong is a personal responsibility.)

This is all that gets posted about that on a public website.

Homework

Due Monday, March 29th

  • email me the name of the entrepreneur you will present about next week

For Tuesday, April 6th

“Learning From Others” – Individual Presentations

  • Interview or research an entrepreneur
    • Three things they did right*
    • Three things they did wrong*
  • First person sources!**
  • 8 minutes (2 minute intro, 1 minute each ‘thing’)

* Not advice that they want to give you, but actual reasons for the lesson. If they say “don’t hesitate to fire a bad employee,” ask “Why not? What happened that made you learn that?”

**Best to talk to the person themselves. If you can not talk to them directly, use first person records. For example, quotes from an interview with the person is okay, but a reporter writing about that person is not okay.
