My advantages: I think I’m not just a thinker but a doer, that’s an advantage because I try to have no irrational fear, if I have one it is calculated and more than fear I’d like to say it is just my logic telling me not to do something. So in embarrassing aspects like talking to strangers, in front of public, selling my project and exposing my idea to people who may not like it I think I have almost no problem. But I’m not crazy, in financial situations I’m pretty conservative, a lot of times you don’t know what are you confronting to if you are in a new venture, so I would risk some money but try to calculate the probabilities of success and based on that decide how much am I willing to invest in a new project.
Precautions: I think I’m taking my precautions already, mainly about the money. Also since I am an adrenaline junkie I will have to make sure I won’t die in these years on a skydiving or bungee jumping accident! One more thing I must avoid is being lazy, I can take a lot of risks, but I must really organize myself to be able to spend enough time on a project.
Implications for how I shape my entrepreneurial path: I picture my path as growing first in a social way, trying to explain to everyone how does it work, sharing this feeling good mood with my friends and strangers, really making people’s days happier and then when I truly get convinced of my potential of sharing happiness (because I think that’s what I really look for from my venture), I will start spending also money and doing proper research and prototyping for the product; when I get the validations I need from my potential customers, this means pitching the idea and making my audience get excited about the idea, as well as closing sales even before I have the production ready (just by showing
