Week 2 Reading Reflection

One thing that stood out to me was the fact that small business owners can indeed be entrepreneurs, however owning their own business does not necessarily make them entrepreneurs. Secondly, it was mentioned that not all entrepreneurs are inventors. While both of these facts were somewhat expected, I still took them as a surprise. As far as things that were somewhat confusing, the micro/macro point of views in terms of explaining entrepreneurship did not make much sense. It seemed like textbook definitions being laid out with no detailed explanation.

Two questions for the author:
1. In the future, do you believe that entrepreneurs will continue to lead to growth in the economy at the rate that they currently do?
2. With the ever changing culture of the United States, do you think american culture will continue to foster an entrepreneurial mindset?

There was nothing I necessarily disagreed on with the author, however I will point out that failure was mentioned only a couple of times with a couple of statistics with no thorough explanation. I think there should of been more emphasis on failure and how it leads to success for entrepreneurs.
