Erik Hanberg Story


Since I have no experience about making a business, it's nice to have a person who has a successful business, who rolled through ups and downs in business life came to the class and tell his story which helped me imagined more about that world. The first thing I heard from him is really surprise me which is if I have a business idea, start it, even though I don't know what it's gonna be, where it's gonna go. I'm a person who always think a lot before doing anything, if I don't know where I go, I'm not gonna start anything, you could say that's I'm hesitating a lot. And after that, Erik shared more about his life, how he maintains his money flow and keep the base for his main business by he and his wife doing different things beside the main side x side business which is teaching, writing book,...The money from it is lower than the main one, but it seems less peak up and down, so when things happened for the main business, he still has a back up plan, but it seems the purpose is just not for business, he did it because it's how things work in real life. Another experience he shared that I really like is he doing research and taking feed back, and hearing about the market think about his coming up product from email, so he can make sure that he can earn money from it and go ahead start the process. In the end, same with any business, I listened to their stories, but to fully understand their feeling about business, it's still a scary part and interested.

International Students Parent Escorted Tour: This is the idea when I talked to my mom since I was International Student Council at Highline College who arrange events for international students go around Washington to get to know more about American activities and get used to with the life styles and my Mom who work with Kennedy high school to recruit international students.

The Technology Entrepreneur’s Guidebook Review

The content in first ten pages of The Technology Entrepreneur's Guidebook describes Entrepreneur's aspects succinctly. In three pages 2 to 4, the book defines what is Entrepreneur's life, how its path looks like, what difference between Entrepreneur with Opportunist, how things work in Entrepreneur, and what things are important to become an Entrepreneur. After I read all of these, there's an uneasy feeling inside me. It's like I'm facing the ocean, which is so vast that I can drown in it. Furthermore, the feeling is also interested in Entrepreneur field after seeing how freedom it is, how big we can grow if we survive through all the risks. It doesn't really surprise me about five facts prove Entrepreneur is not an easy way to walk on. There's no easy way to reach and get huge reward at the end. To obtain, you have to give up something of equal value, and when you can't find the door, make your own this is how I see Entrepreneur after I read
