What appeals to me about entrepreneurship? Since I have learned what the word meant I have wanted to be one. To me, it seems like one of the most successful statuses to have in the field of Business. I have had plenty of things throughout my life I have seriously wanted to consider pursuing, and to me it's like with being an Entrepreneur, you are able to multi-task projects and have the freedom within the field of choice to be the boss and be the one on top who determines the success or outcome, of what it was to begin with, that devoted you to create and postition yourself in it. Entreprenuers are passionate to what they are driven by, or to.
I feel like Entrepreneurs are people who know what they want, are highly driven. I'm not saying the most respectful or important, there are doctors and scientists who are completely driven towards a cause that are probably more important in most cases, but I'm thinking that those feilds are categories of their own in the proffesional feild. Being titled an Entrepreneur, I feel you have that achievement already and that once you have established that, you have the room to take the success to any level, depending how well your entrepreneurial skills are.

It seems like everyone I talk to has a business of their own in mind that would be their dream to one day create, or that they always wished they had. All people seem to be driven by their own ambitions, but seriously it comes down to having the Entrepreneur qualities in whether or not that the idea can seem possible to pursue. A business plan seems to be the most important step in the business creating process, cause in this process, you are seeing your idea unfold in front of you and it is becoming closer to the defining point. People seem to give up when considering the amounts of money it would take to create a business, forgetting there are legitimate ways of going about borrowing the money such as loans. To get to the business plan stage one must have real confidence and faith in the success of their idea's.

LIVE LIFE FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE or LIVE THE LIFE THAT YOU LOVE,
those are more like what I was trying to say.
What the guest speaker taught me tonight is that surely anxiety tends to take over when you have real important matters to manage, but that its the anxiety we get, that makes the task we are attempting or wanting to accomplish seem more difficult than it really is.
I learned from her, or the impression I especially got from her speech tonight was:
In the business she deals with , and she mentioned it, she has great passion for it, and that is one important factor in dealing with business. She also mentioned having patience, and just being prepared when introducing your business plan to possible investor's; to have a plan A,B and C in case of unexpectancies.
Lesson was clear. I thought she described everything well, and it gave me a better sense of what is needed to be expected for creating one. I'm interested to see the PowerPoint.

Chinese says stimulus plan important for the world:
I found this article attracted me because China is home to the largest cities in the world, and important for the world sounded like it had to be about something good.
I've always had an interest in knowing more about China's economy; between their mass population and mass of production. Everywhere you see on things 'Made in China' so if you know nothing about the Country you're at least going to assume that the Country has numerous factories, and that they do a lot of exporting.
The article talked about "analysts expect export growth to fall as low as zero in coming months as global demand weakens". They call it a global crisis which of course its obvious to see why, but I think it's something that was easily seen coming. To look at this crisis as just a bad thing is somewhat difficult for me. Bad, yes, for all the people who have families to support and rely on there jobs at these factories, but then it can only be looked at for the good in the sense that the less exporting and running of these factories, the less harm on the global economy in the long run.
It's a scary fact how common pollution is now, that the average human body carries 28 toxic chemicals on an average, and that when our bodies are polluted any more than they already are and can't adapt ,that that's when things like cancer start occurring. I think for sure the seriousness of these matters needs to be recognized and be taken more seriously by especially the large corporations whose factories gives off these mass amounts of toxins that are causes of these problems, but also individually I think everybody needs to think more serious about them..

For a First Nations women, as with all women, getting recognition and respect as a working women in business took time.
From the last class, I remember barriers being discussed at the very beginning of class and the lesson I learned from this situation is to try to get to class five minutes early and to have a notebook and pen out from the very start, because, I can't recall nor did I write down, the seven barriers. The notes I did take from that part was-'90% of women Entrepreneurs worked for someone before becoming an Entrepreneur, and 1/3 of people who are self employed are women. I'm not sure why I missed it all. I also tried getting help from a few classmates with this, and didn't get it.
A First Nation's women of business that I know personally, has struggled with such barriers as
having to stay at home with her kids while her husband left for his job weeks sometimes months at a time, leaving her no time for much of anything else. Having kids understandably takes all of a woman's time for the most part, until they are old enough for school which even then, the schedule still revolves around the children/child, causing setbacks to her profession. I remember hearing something about women are more insecure than men, therefore it could become a problem say at the time of an interview, not being able to show confidence or passion for that position when it is needed. Another barrier would be the probability of sexual harassment, within a workplace being towards women. Having worked so hard in school and then obtaining the desired position and then having to deal with something like that, would create a barrier, a discomfort that would likely make it hard to keep that position . I know that doesn't directly have to do with a First Nation's women in business, but that's the best i could do for this right now.

To be a professional, is to have proper training in a desired field and to take that position seriously. To make sure the job required is sought out. To have tasks to manage and to do the best of ability, to responsibly, handle and complete those tasks.
Yes, I myself am a professional in training. I am not a professional yet, but with the right training that is the goal I would like to achieve; obtain a professional position.
To be a professional I would say the most important trait to own is being responsible, but there are many other traits that are necessary, such as being motivated and driven to a cause.

Reading "Why is This Subject a Taboo?", really interested me. I love reading and hearing about these types of topics being discussed, like there are still people out there acknowledging these matters and working towards a fairness that everyone can agree upon.
Growing up in New Hampshire, I feel like these types of matters within the country, it had seemed from what my public schools had taught me up until atleast nineth grade, had been already locked down and that they were no longer a issue to be discussed. I can only speak for what I was taught in that state, and seeing how there are no native commnities in that state or anywhere close to it is hard for me to really say. I'm sure within the native communities in the U.S they are still working on righteousness, but other than that I don't see it really being acknowledged, but again, I don't know all about it. That's what I really appreciate about Canada, is that here the true history of the country respecftfully still maters, and is not just made excusable.
In the business aspect I see it as important, in the way that the issue is in better hopes of resolution, and gives natives a better sense of self respect in believing so, in that way they can be true to themselves and work towards what really matters, to them.
