"The best investments you ever make are investments in yourself – and your education. Those investments always pay big dividends." – Donald Trump
Technopreneurship 1 bestowed a great impact to me being a student. I have learned a lot from imparting Mr. Randy Gamboa his knowledge and expertise in the field of technopreneur. From the above quotation by Donald Trump our first investment of being a newly born technopreneur are the asset or the learning’s or should I say the educational skills that we have as a student. What we are planting now are the things we are going to gain in the future and those investments mentioned pay a big bonus towards us.
To define technopreneurship, it is the use of technology as an integral and key element in the transformation of goods or services. In short technopreneurship is the combination of business with the help of technology. We also have the learned importance of Technopreneurship, these are employment creation, local resources, decentralization and diversification of business, promotion technology, capital formation and lastly promotion of an entrepeneurial culture. In other words, the Technopreneurship lend a great advantage in our economic status if are able enough and the right capabilities handling a business.
The first activity we had is about following simple instruction. From that matter, it will test an individual on how he/she pursue and keep track even a simple instruction he/she might encounter. In the meadow of technopreneurship, we have to consider the simple instruction that should be applied in order to be success. This will also be applied in our daily lives, considering the factor of most people doesn’t think seriously about their future. However people don’t know how to do it. Well in fact the things they need is just around them. The other activity we had is the connecting the dots. Connecting the dots symbolized the thinking skills of how we are thinking and discerning beyond the limits we ought to have. In connection to Technopreneurship, people want to earn money, they are looking for it but sadly they are looking for it badly! We have to expand and lengthen the ideas on how earn money through technology. In fact people are struggling for a survival but not knowing that the stuff they need from neediness is just beside them. Computer and an internet are the stuff to hook up and get into the world of Technopreneurship. Along with the discussion we had movie marathon captured our interest dealing the said subject. “Pirates of the Silicon Valley” is the movie in characters of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs; these are the people we are looking forward to be in the near future. From that film, we learned their stories being dynamic, innovate and passionate take their unexplored path. In fact they don’t fear to fail. Even though how many times they have been trapped and failed, they never stop to stand and prove that after rainy days comes a new brighter day towards them.
Before that, several topics we answered connected to technopreneurship. Just like the factors contributed on how to become success and failed. The following are the aspects partake in success of a Technopreneur according to my researched.
• Doing what you love.
• Be different.
• Do your best
• Make an analysis
• Be entrepreneurial.
• Start small, think big
• Strive to become a Market leader.
• Focus on the outcome.
• Ask for feedback.
• Innovative.
• Learn from failures.
• Learn continually.
The above mentioned are the factors which matter to the accomplishment of a technopreneur. We might think at first that these may sound weird; however these are the truth and the principle to help succeed in the field Technopreneurship. Another thing are the factors contributed to the failure, the following below are reasons why an individual crash and give up to this career.
• Being greedy.
• Don’t care on others.
• Doing unnecessary thing.
• Senseless.
• Short temper.
From the commencement address of Steve Jobs, it was once a big hit and was talked about the various articles that time. It is because of the inspiring and encouraging story way back he is. The three stories it comprises are “Connecting the dots”, “Love and Loss” and “Death”. From the first story, I’ve never imagined how unlucky and unfortunate Steve Job was at his time. He emphasized here the struggles and battles he had. To stress from it, He stated here that dots are connected by looking backwards. We should have trust something that happens in our life it may be good and bad. We have to trust to our self. Our skills, talents and knowledge and we have to share these to others, because we cannot live alone. I also learn that we must never let somebody bring us down. We don’t have to look down or even feel hopeless in every failure we have. Life will never be prosperous always. There will always be ups and downs. Everything is a perception in this world. Stay Foolish. Fear is pointless. It means that if you are person with fear, this will never help you. Change is inevitable. Inevitable in a way that changes is unpredictable to come in our lives. If you fear of doing new things or afraid of change, you can never move forward in life. So, stay foolish!
His second story is about love and loss. Steve got fired on his own company at 30. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. Since he loves what his doing, he started a company named NeXT and Pixar not knowing that he felt in love with a woman and suddenly become his wife (Laurence). The most important thing that I ascertain is “Don’t lose faith”. Steve convinced to keep going that was he loved what he did. Though he was replaced in the position of his own company, Steve never stopped to discover and persist to his work and way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. Also in our self, even though we haven’t found what makes us happy, we have to find out and keep looking. Of course, if we already have it we have to be contented living with it. Don’t settle. Don’t be too easily satisfied or settle easily with what we have, what we do and grow comfortable…Always there is room for improvement and growth… Hungry of looking forward for progress after failures. When one door closes, another door opens.
Death is in the third story. “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” This quotation made an impression to Steve Jobs. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Lately in his life he diagnosed a pancreatic cancer. His doctor told him that this kind of illness is incurable and nothing to expect to live longer. Without expectation, the cancer cell has been killed through surgery that in fact it is rare happen. But in spite with this ailment, Steve Jobs never surrender. However, this unfavorably situation give more courage to Steve to continue living with his supportive family. No one wants to die. Yes! That true. We are afraid to face death. No one knows when and where this tremendous situation happens. This story wants to remind us that our time is truly limited. We never know what happen next. So we should not waste our time living with loved of our life. We have to express to our families, friends, relatives that we love and care them. So that if time goes by, when we are facing death no regrets may occur. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. Whatever people may think of you, don’t let them bring you down. Steve Jobs also shared that have the courage to follow what our heart and intuition says and crave for. Intuition is somewhat your perception and awareness.
We used to think the kind of techno-business if given a chance; we are going to proposed and utilize in the near future. I decided to have a business named “Wedding Galore”. This is a site for the wanted couple who wants to order and classify items and services. Of course my target clients are the online couple. While I am making this business proposal, there are things to consider or rather say the preeminent elements of establishing a fledgling techno business bringing in success. These are the following:
• Choice Of Business. Why have you chosen this business? Are you passionate about this particular business, or just about being in business? We must love the business we are in. Loving and enjoying your own business wont get through the days when business turn against us. But loving a certain business isn't enough if the business we love is on the way out.
• Education and Experience. If we are going to ask if education and experience, which of the two is more important? Then my answer would this be plenty of highly educated business failures, as well as many highly successful business owners who are not very well educated.
• People. These are the management, founders and the key employees who make the company work. A well company with a weak and poorly functioning team may not valuable in terms of market place. Good team work is what a capitalized company needs specially with the usage of technology. Workers should be versatile to what circumstances may happen. The owner also a risk taker, ready in all the challenges. Good people are actually considered rare. External team is the paid professionals’ .Internal teams are the founder and the employee who make the company work.
• Creativity in Management. Being resourceful needs in every small business of a Technopreneur. There are two hard truths about the management. Some entrepreneurs are not good managers. This means that several managers are not good in carrying or managing their workers. In cline with technology the project manager should good in their field. Some excellent managers don’t have a creative bone in their bodies. This indicate that good managers cant do their job well because they are only good in innovating ideas but never in leading without the help of his fellow worker.
• The Industry .The choice of business. This factor encourages us to find out if the industry we are considering has high potential or low potential. Since we are requiring creating a techno business, we are going to consider the environment of what today is.
The preeminent discussions we learned are about the SEED model and the management process related to Techopreneurship. The SEED model in Technopreneurship 1 in which SEED stands for Self-mastery, Enterprise, Environment and Development. However, due to the lack of time to have a lesson about SEED model, we only deeply learned about Self–mastery. It is about knowing your passion in life. A self mastered person does not need high IQ, EQ and AQ. He/she is naturally performer-competitive and efficient. He/she is also sensual and cheery and most of all a boss who takes charge and loves a good fight. Under Self-master is the personal vision and knows strengths and weaknesses. That’s why we also encountered our personal aspect to know more about ourselves.
• What you are best at?
• What you love?
• What are those things that make you irritants with?
Process management consists of PDOC which stands for Planning, Directing, Organizing and Controlling. Here, we learned the factors on how we are able to manage things prior to Technopreneurship. As I remembered Mr. Gamboa once said that somehow Davao City would be the next center of Techno-capital not only nationwide but around the world. Being a student, our goal why we study and send to school is to graduate and to have a good future waiting for us a good work either. But these mind set are not reasonable enough to be when we are going to have are own diplomas, instead we are going to become a competitive employer managing our own techno-business sooner.
