1. What are the connections between the disciplines addressing entrepreneurship at ODU?
Some connections would be staying consistent and knowing when NOT to give up. It can get frustrating doing the same thing over and over just to get the same result. But with patience you can take the previous trial, see where your error was and fix it the next time around.
2. Is entrepreneurship an art or science?
Entrepreneurship is both an art and a science. Creativity is a huge factor when it comes to building your business. From logo design to the overall process of finding inventory to figuring out how to sell it. It can be considered a science as well because running a business can be like conducting an experiment. You have your variables and your trials to test your variables/products. Some tests will work and some won’t but it’s all about consistency and discipline.
3. How is failure good?
You can’t succeed without failure. If there is a chance in life where you are successful at everything you do there is still a chance of getting backdoored because you wont have learned how to fail. Failures are stepping stones to reach your main goal. Without failure you would have a false reality of the entrepreneurial industry. So falling on your face a couple times won’t hurt because in the end your hard work and determination will make it all worth it.
4. What have I learned from failing?
Even though I failed I wouldn’t have realized that I would even accomplish the failure to begin with. So it gives me determination to continue to try it until I complete what I started. Failing can either make you stronger or make you weak. You can let your failure overcome you and your goals or you can use that emotion and put it into your next trial.

Every opinion and thought that anybody could think of, including the fake news is on display for everyone to see.
