Surprise: I found it very surprising how seriously this chapter took the concept of entrepreneurial failure. It talks about the "grieving" process that one goes through after he or she fails, and then it talks about how there is a "psychic risk" behind entrepreneurial failure and how some people are unable to ever bounce back from it.
Confusing: I don't really understand the social cognition theory or knowledge structures, or how they "optimize personal effectiveness".
Two Questions: Do you think that there are ever circumstances in which it is okay for the entrepreneur to break away from the code of conduct?
Do you think a certain level of external optimism is necessary in order to run a successful business?
Wrong About: I think that if I were to disagree with the author about any of the statements made in this chapter, it would have to be that "lack of organization, structure, and order is a way of life" for an entrepreneur. Although I don't have any experience as an entrepreneur, I believe that if I were to go down that path, I would require that my life be very organized and structured. Although I realize that there are often unexpected changes and troubles, I think that structure is something that doesn't have to be sacrificed.
