The chapter one reading of Kuratko's text book was easy to
read and mildly entertaining. The chapter went over the basics such as: What is
an entrepreneur, what makes and entrepreneur, and what is the mind-set of an
entrepreneur. There were certain parts of the text that I did not agree with.
One of the "myths" that the author had put was "Entrepreneurs
are doers, not thinkers." the author does go on to explain that
entrepreneurs are usually both, but what I disagree with is that I think
entrepreneurs are really just doers as in they find a problem and they fix it.
I would say most of the time the idea just comes to the entrepreneur meaning
he/she really did not have to think to much about it. If I were able to ask the
author two questions I would ask " Would you consider a flooring
contractor that does all his own work with no employees, but makes neat custom
floor designs an entrepreneur or just a small business owner, and if you only
consider him a small business owner why wouldn’t the contractor be considered
an entrepreneur?" The reason I would ask this is because in his text he
says that small business that focuses on stable growth really isn't a small
business, but in this situation the flooring contractor has a unique way of
doing his work so that should make him an entrepreneur.
