Week 1 - Feelings/Commence Launch

So, I'm starting the course B 183 entitled "Introduction to Entrepreneurship" at University this week. It requires a weekly blog post.

The purpose of the blog is to both chronicle events as well as record thoughts, feelings, and archive things that we learn or insights gained during the course.

Currently I feel a little overwhelmed as I've just started 3, 3 credit hour courses which all tell me they are actually going to take 9 hours a week. For me that is totaling 27 hours a week which should be interesting considering I have a full time job, a spouse and 1.5 kids. They need time to so the balancing act should be fun.

For the actual content this week, I really don't have much. The assignment was pretty much to introduce yourself to your fellow classmates, read or watch motivational content on leadership and start a blog. Check, check and check.

In the interest of attempting to do some further exploration, take a look at this article from Forbes on first impressions. I thought it was pretty interesting and laid out both side of a first impression not mattering at all but also that we have ingrained first impressions which may be very subconscious in nature.

The other content, aka required reading, I read through, point to the importance of self assessment and thinking of ourselves as always in a developing or changing stage. They talk about how to get our entrepreneurial juices flowing and then maintaining those good habits so as to "etch them onto your character".

All in all I think it will be an interesting ride throughout the semester. If you feel like it, subscribe to the blog as I'll be posting weekly insights into my course work. You might, just might, learn something fun along the way. I'll even try to include fun pictures as time permits.

Until next week.
