What's Your Secret Sauce

My Secret Sauce

My five things

1.       I am very hard to read and keep calm in very stressful situations. This could be a great asset in doing business.

2.       I have a great sense of humor. There are a lot of advantages to being able to enjoy your time and having others enjoy their time around you.

3.       I am very good at learning things quickly. During my time in college I have learned a lot of new things that I didn’t think that I would be able to. Being able to do this will help when facing challenges.

4.        My work ethic is unwavering. This must be a given for any entrepreneur.

5.       My creativity in problem solving opens a lot of doors for me and anyone that decides to work with me.

Interviews

Over the course of my interviews there were a lot of reoccurring themes that seemed to come up repeatedly. It was a little awkward sitting across from people and basically asking them to complement me on camera. One interviewee mentioned that when I get behind something I naturally start to obsess over the work that I am doing. When I am not into doing something, it shows in my work because I pick and choose what I put my effort into. Additionally, a few mentioned that I have a knack for connecting with people and getting on their level.

Reflection

There were a lot of similarities between the content of my interviews and my own analysis. A lot of the discussion had to do with why those things could benefit me moving forward as an entrepreneur. However, there was a lot more discussion about my ability to interact with other people. I don’t really think of myself as a people person and the fact that I was being given feedback relating to that makes me think that it is a certain strength of mine. Looking back I would not change any of my initial choices.
