Objective
What beliefs and expectations do you have about entrepreneurs’ stories? To what extent do you think they conform to media images of entrepreneurs? In what ways might you expect them to be different? Here is an activity to help you examine your beliefs and expectations.
Find and introduce yourself to an entrepreneur—any type of entrepreneur is fine. Ask for 20 minutes of his or her time, and simply start with the opening question: Tell me the story of how you became an entrepreneur.
As the story unfolds, you may want to ask the questions:
In what ways did your chosen entrepreneur confirm your beliefs and expectations?
In what ways did the story motivate you (or not)?
What did you learn that was most unexpected?
