LEARNING'S FROM AUGUST 9 MAKE UP ...

  Last August 9 marks our 5th meeting for the subject Technopreneurship 1. This means that this will be the last discussion that we will be having for the subject. So, let me start off from what I liked from this meeting’s sharing. From our August 9 meeting, our facilitator discussed about what makes a successful technopreneur. He first asked us three things: what we love, what are we best at, and what our irritants are. From these three questions, he said that it is important for us to identify these three things before we started proposing our ideas, we first had our makeup class so our instructor discussed the continuation of our lessons. The first topic discussed was all about the internal analysis. So by the way, what is the story or the things behind with the word internal analysis? As what our instructor said, it is all about knowing or mastering “oneself” by asking questions to ourselves like what are the things we love, what are the things we are best at, and what is our irritants. Our instructor also emphasized that knowing the things we love, best at and our irritants; we can derive business ideas and opportunities.  I just figured out also that it is really necessary to know much more ourselves because by doing this we can be aware on the things that can be discovered in ourselves to enhance more. So pertaining with the things we love, whenever we heard it, with no doubt, the things that circulating in our minds are all about the love we have in our family, friends or even in our special someone. So in that discussion of our facilitator he gave really good information to make us be a more better technoprenuer and more develop a ideas that never exist that can help to our society and in that discussion he states the word elevator pitch. First time I heard that word and it sounds familiar to me. That elevator pitch is an example for our discussion or sharing. He let us know whether we are given an opportunity to propose inside the elevator with Steve Jobs or Bill Gates in one moment. How would I convince them with my idea? Well, this is not just an easy way or technique for proposing a business to someone. Fortunately, a businessman should have his/ her confidence dealing in business because this is important for them in order to deliver their words perfectly that makes them convince. In the field of business, you must convince the other investor for the business you have. To make them convince, it should be direct to the point. Direct to the point or something that you need to explain precisely that makes them better understand what your business had. Explain the point that really convincing. When you got that moment that they are all amaze with your business proposal or you got their attention while you explain shortly your business proposal is a good sign. Elevator pitch is just a strategy for you to explain well what you propose to the investor.  After the discussion about the elevator pitch, is the two type of analysis. This is another topic for the sharing and it is all about the internal analysis and external analysis. Internal analysis is basically means another way of mastering oneself through asking following question. This analysis is a way on how to get an idea. And this is the Internal analysis, Internal analysis have a three question that starts about love. The things that we love. The second question is about what we are best at. And the last question is about the irritants what we are not capable off. So for the first question which is about love, this would handle about what are the things we love to do or things to take an interest in life. Love doing things or things you might be interested is in regards to the things that we are good or capable to do or just we say that you love that kind of things without doubt. That thing that you are confident enough to perform what you love to do. Performing that you feel not too bored or you take it fun doing it. When doing such thing, the important things is that, don’t put yourself into stress or don’t pressure yourself doing things what you take. When you love to do things, you take it fun. Perhaps it is your field you take that and that is the reason why you have the willingness to do it. When you recognize what you want to do you can improve it and get to be master or be an expert in that field. Just like what course we take now, I don’t think so if this course is what I love to do. But performing it, sometimes I take it fun to do but also there are times that it feels so stressful. Second is about what are we best at. Best at and what things you love is the same I think. But most of them are, they perform what things they are best at but this thing is not their love. This might be confused but this is what I observe to all my friends.  Sport is my best at or love to do but what course I take now is far from what I love. I know I’m capable to that kind of course but not totally best at. And last question for internal analysis is about what are the irritants. Irritants which straight forwardly says of what we are not capable off or we don’t like.  But I like the part that our instructor tackles the slides very fast and also he can catch the attention of everyone. Everyone listen to his sharing because in every slides explain by our instructor, he always put some interested stories to make us not bored. The way he explains the topic make us interested to listen. Our instructor is really good in sharing; he knows how to catch the attention of students. He can insert some jokes to the sharing. The way he delivers his words makes you fully understand what the main point to that topic is. After knowing ourselves and observing our environment, we can do more amazing things out of the strength and kind of minds we have. In addition, there will be more possible opportunities that will be in our favor as we make our ideas real. It’s just a matter of using your thick face and wear your courage to do it. Without courage and faith of what you were doing will be just a waste since you just all know is you’re just a weak person and nothing can do but to worry and afraid what will be the results of things you will do. That our facilitator do many things for us to develop a good ideas and be a technoprenuer master and to tell us that don’t be afraid to follow our dream God bless us !
