Diving deeper into the world of entrepreneurship in media has made me feel motivated and inspired. Discussing the readings of the Creative Confidence textbook has informed me about the many moving parts it takes to be successful in one’s business. A standout element to me is the idea that who you surround yourself with can make or break your business. It is not just about the main entrepreneur in the project; it is about everyone involved and the skills and thoughts they bring to the table. It is crucial to have trial and error and flow of brainstorming among a team to reach a goal.
Another element that stood out to me is the idea that success is measured by how many times you’ve failed. I always had the mindset of went you get bucked off get back on the horse and try again but looking at it from the standpoint of the number of times you do fall is how far you will reach success is reassuring. In this world of media, it is more likely to be told no a million times until someone says yes. The ability to handle the no’s and take it with stride determines the future success of an individual.
