Entrepreneur Journal Entry #5 | 5/19/21 | Mecina Juhasz

 Today for my journal entry, I wanted to cover a few things that stood out to me as I read about various entrepreneurs and considered the question of whether entrepreneurs are born, not made. Personally, I think that entrepreneurs are made, but some people are born with skills that make it easier for them to succeed down that path. They have a knack for leadership, working with people, or naturally have a good work ethic. One person in particular that I like to point to when it comes to a good work ethic is Thomas Jefferson. I have always admired his work ethic. He never allowed himself to relax and have fun, even when he was old and finally decided to play some card games he feel guilty about doing so. He was so on top of his work that he gained a very good reputation and it paid off. He invented so many things that helped others and started many successful businesses but never took the credit for them. 

Lessons I have learned:

You are in charge of your own success. The chances of it falling into your lap are next to none. Even luck only happens when you are putting yourself out there and looking for it. 

Lessons I am still learning:

How to put myself out there, get out of my comfort zone and be rejected.
