The biggest surprise for me in the reading was the importance of grief when dealing with failure. In general when I think about entrepreneurs dealing with failure, I just picture people learning from their failures and moving on. Reading about how important the grief recovering process is was eye opening for me. There are ways to learn more from a failure by being strategic.
One part of the reading that was confusing for me was the introduction of metacognitive perspective. I couldn't quite wrap my head around the metacognitive model and how it works. An example was given, but I believe I need to read a few more to really understand the concept. I know it has to do with one's way of thinking and adapting, but I would like to know all of its benefits fully.
I would love to be able to sit down with the author and ask him to tell me about a failure he has had to overcome. I have a hard time dealing with failure, so I believe it is an answer that I would really benefit from. In addition, I would like to ask the author about how he deals with stress. There are so many things in life that can cause one to have anxiety, and I think it is important to be able to control your anxiety to be the best that you can be.
After reading chapter two, I believe that the author should have written more about the family and social risk that comes with being an entrepreneur. Yes, I agree that risk comes with the job, but I also believe that some people avoid that risk with excellent time management skills. Not all entrepreneurs give up that aspect of their life.
