General Discussion Instructions<\/h2>\r\nIn order to prepare for this assignment, READ the information contained in the document \u201cSalty Pawz Background<\/a>.\u201d\r\n\r\nYou are required to post to this discussion THREE TIMES, on THREE\u00a0DIFFERENT DAYS. Please refer to the Discussion Grading Rubric for details regarding how your performance will be assessed. NOTE: Please be certain to read the entire discussion assignment since in some cases\u00a0there is more than one question you need to discuss, respond to, or address. Be sure that you have answered the entire question!\r\n

Post 1: Initial Post<\/h2>\r\nThis posting should be a minimum of one short paragraph and a maximum of two paragraphs. Word totals for this post should be in the 100\u2013200-word range. Whether you agree or disagree, explain why with supporting evidence and concepts from the readings or a related experience. Include a reference, link, or citation when appropriate.\r\n

Scenario<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nWanda comes to you because she is discouraged and needs to talk. Her parents have heard she is thinking of expanding her business and even possibly taking out a second mortgage on her home to fund the expansion. They have never been overly supportive of her business, but as long as it seemed like a hobby, they didn\u2019t have much to say. Recently Wanda\u2019s mother expressed strong reservations about Wanda taking such a large step. This made a big impression on Wanda. She tells you she doesn\u2019t want her business to cause a rift in the family. Perhaps she should take her parents\u2019 advice and just forget expanding the business. Moreover, she doesn\u2019t understand why her parents aren\u2019t as excited about the prospects for the business as she is.\r\n

For Discussion<\/h3>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. Using what you know about entrepreneurs, why would Wanda\u2019s parents not see things the way that she does? What positive characteristics of entrepreneurs is Wanda exhibiting?<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Do you know an entrepreneur personally? If so, what characteristics do you see in entrepreneurs that you have to presume Wanda shares? If you don\u2019t know an entrepreneur, then look to the world of business and use one about whom you can do a little research. Some examples of famous entrepreneurs are Sir Richard Branson (Virgin Wireless, Virgin Galactic), Elon Musk (Tesla), Oprah Winfrey (the \u201cO\u201d Brands). What characteristics do you think these famous entrepreneurs probably share with Wanda?<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
