It's strange when you have a guest speaker, and the two main things you're left with are that he's good with money...and he was never shot at in a previous job. Personally I think dodging a bullet or two would make his stories more interesting. But hey, that's just me.
To be honest, after hearing John Dimmer talk, it was almost like being pushed down a flight of stairs and told to start back at step one.
...unless you like....die as you hit the bottom, then I suppose it would be hard to start again.
Regardless, to hear that John Dimmer started his role as an entrepreneur with nothing in mind twisted at my gut. His passion wasn't lead on an idea, but just to have his own business. Where's the passion toward the product in that? Sure, if you have passion in the job, I'm sure that simply pushing on the rush of business alone can give you an adrenalin boost but that's not what I thought this was all about.
I mean, how can you sell a product like a man-purse if you have no confidence for it, but only for the drive of the business?
Perhaps it's me that is wrong.
But this is my blog, so in these pages I am always right.
So we'll just say you need passion for both...or something.
Another thing that twisted at me, was his higher stand for the entrepreneur. His "entrepreneurs always think on a different angle then the rest of the world" speech. Not that I didn't appreciate his opinion, but I went to a freakin' art school for three years, and if everyone there didn't think a little bit differently than the rest of the world too....then I don't know what.
Perhaps I as just a bit offended. Not saying he's not special, or he doesn't think he's different than most. But originality comes from where you think of it (which doesn't make it so original to personal-self, but roll with me here), I should know, I am completely loony.
