Very Short Interview, Part 2

 Looking back on my initial interview with Mr. Mansour,  I feel that the interview went well and I learned key concept on the principle of entrepreneurship. From my initial interview I learned that as an entrepreneur one must be independent to be able to pursue ones goals and dreams. One must be confident in his/her ideas as well as confident in running a company.
  I was able to visit this entrepreneur again and ask him a couple questions. Here are the questions I asked as well as Mr. Mansour's answers.

• 1st Question:Where you confident that your first product your company produced would succeed. 

           Mr. Mansour: " I was confident. I developed a product that I believed was necessary in the market."

• 2nd Question: Did you prepare for the possibility of your company not succeeding?

          Mr. Mansour: "I tried not do think about failure too much. I hoped that my product would succeed....also I had conducted a lot of research on the demand for my product. So although the failure rate is high for start up companies I relied on my research and support to follow through with my goal."

• 3rd Question:  How do you deal with failure? 

          Mr. Mansour: " Failure is part of success....success doesn't come without bumps in the road. Failure teaches me to fix what I did wrong and better my products."

Reflection: Compared to three months ago I feel confident in the questions I asked him this time around. I know that failure is a big part of starting a company because not everything will go smoothly in the beginning.
