My biggest surprise is how much the chapter stressed the fact that entrepreneurs fail and how they have to "get back on their feet." There are obviously negative side effects in everything we do, and entrepreneurship is one of those things. A lot of the time, I feel like people sugarcoat it and make it seem like nothing can go wrong and it is the best thing yet. It was just interesting to see what the dark side of entrepreneurship can be.
The part that confused me the most was about the cognition of an entrepreneurs brain. I began to get confused when they were describing the cognitive adaptability and metacognitive model and how they differ. I am not a science person per say and getting into that is where I started to get lost.
My first question would be, "do you think that the risks of starting your own business scare people away from being an entrepreneur?" I would ask this because this is something that now scares me of ever opening my own business and taking that risk. Although, I know tons of people who are willing to take that risk even thought they know there might be repercussions.
My second question would be, "would the type of personality, Type A or Type B, determine whether the person is more or less likely to be an entrepreneur?" I would ask this because there are benefits and drawbacks to each personality type, and those could effect how successful you are in different areas of your life.
I don't believe that the author was really wrong about anything in this chapter. I thought that they did a good job explain the pitfalls of being an entrepreneur and how there is a dark side that not everyone knows about as well as how an entrepreneur mind works.
