Research Project/Group Work
Interview an Entrepreneur
Reach out and introduce yourself to an entrepreneur—any kind of entrepreneur will do. Request a brief 20-minute conversation and begin with a simple yet open-ended question:
Can you share your journey into entrepreneurship? What were your biggest concerns when launching your business? What aspects were the most thrilling for you as you embarked on this new venture? Would you describe your start-up as innovative? If so, how?
What key resources did you utilize to get started, and where did you acquire them? What are some standout moments from your journey, and who played a pivotal role in helping you succeed? How do you present yourself to others in your professional network? What advice would you offer me as someone studying entrepreneurship? (you may create your own questions as well)
Afterward, write a 300-400 words reflection on your experience.
