Very Short Interview, Part 2

1) I think the first interview went well. I didn't have to prepare the questions so that made it quite easier, and I think now I am able to ask better questions on my own without being told what to ask.

2) Question: Did you consider yourself an entrepreneur when you were getting your first practice started?
Answer: No, I didn't. I was just trying to do as straightforward as a job as I possibly could. I was innovative but that was not my purpose, I was just being a doctor.

Question: What mistakes did you make when first starting?
Answer: If I could go back I would be more confident in my business decisions. I was a little too trepidatious at first.

Question: What are your plans for the future?
Answer: I hope to expand my practice enough that I can open a new location and hire another doctore to work full time.

3) I have come quite far in this class. Talking to entrepreneurs is a lot easier but talking to entrepreneurs wasn't my issue. Talking to strangers was the difficult part. I've done it many times now so this time was much easier. I realized that a lot of people enjoy spreading their advice so they don't mind being interviewed and asked questions. I was unable to sense if the entrepreneur I interviewed thought I had come far or not.

  1. Hi Collin. I think that the questions that you asked in this interview were so unique and well thought out. They really gave me a lot of insight on the person you were interviewing as well. I also liked how you related the interview to your journey in this class. Here is the link to my post: http://minaaomar.blogspot.com/2016/04/very-short-interview-part-2.html
