My Secret Sauce

1.      What makes me a unique person? My drive is unique in the sense that I like to establish both short term and long term goals. I keep my eyes on the prize and try to constantly get better at whatever I set my mind to. I also find myself to be very outgoing. I have no issues striking up conversations with random strangers and developing lasting relationships. I also recognize my flaws well. I know that I am not perfect. And that's okay. Greatness should not be measured on perfection, but rather the ability to deal with imperfections. I also consider myself very experienced in several ways. I have done a lot of daring things and I have dealt with tough times. I consider these both integral to my development as a human being. Lastly, I've always found my mind to be rather complex. My mind is always in need of stimulation. I live the type of life that requires me to always be doing something. This is valuable in the entrepreneurship world, as my time could truly be the difference between success and failure.


















Interview #1: Claire

Claire stated that I was very outgoing. She also seemed set on the idea that I'm good at adapting. If something isn't working, I make the changes necessary to keep moving forward.




















Interview #2: Anthony

A close family friend from back at home, Anthony perhaps knows me better than anyone. He likes to think that I have a lot of energy, and passionately use that energy where it needs to be used. He said I was outgoing and always keep a good vision for the future.

















Interview #3: Hilton

Hilton stated that I am personable and believes that I am well-rounded. Hilton's father is a very successful entrepreneur and his feedback is greatly appreciated.


















Interview #4: Jay

Jay, as well, considered me to be very outgoing. He liked that I'm not afraid to backdown and am very social, both good qualities in the business world.





















Interview #5: Carter

Carter praised my ability to set goals and stick to them. He thinks that I'm realistic and smart with my decisions.



3. The common thing I realized with all of my interviews is that my friends all thought I was very outgoing and didn't like the idea of settling for mediocrity. They all stated that I seem driven and energetic, with realistic goals. I definitely think they were correct and realistic, as these five were truly some of my closest friends.

    Based on your first interview, it sounds like you are good with rolling with the punches. That is a very useful, and stress relieving skill to have. Being able to adjust to any situation and understand that maybe the way you wanted to go about doing something isn't going to work as well as doing it another way is an ability that many people need to learn. Its also something that most successful entrepreneurs possess. Your friend Anthony sounded very passionate and enthusiastic about what he was saying you, so it sounds like you make a good impression on people.

    Dear Alex,

    Anthony's interview was quite enjoyable. The way you set up the interview did not necessarily include the concept of human capital that was the purpose of this exercise. This really came across in Hilton's interview. This interview was also a missed opportunity in this sense because, as you wrote, his father is a very successful entrepreneur. Lastly, I believe each person was supposed to list 5 different human capital characteristics. The great thing is that the people who know you really seem to like you and believe in you. Take a look at my secret sauce post at http://taleemreflections.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html. Thanks.
