Reading Reflection

  1.  I chose to read about Coco Chanel and her journey as an entrepreneur. 
    1. What surprised you the most? 
      1. Coco Chanel actually began her journey as a fashion designer from abject poverty. She was raised in an orphanage and it was their that she was taught to sew. She worked her way to the glamorous brand we know today.  
    2. What about the entrepreneur did you admire most? 
      1. I admired her revolutionary styles and bold aspirations for the time she was working with. The attention she payed to detail and quality is why her reputation is quite impeccable. 
    3. What about the entrepreneur did you least admire? 
      1. Nothing. 
    4. Did the entrepreneur  encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it? 
      1. After the orphanage, one of the adversity's she had to face, she moved onto a different career.  She was a singer, which is where she got her nickname "Coco" from. 
  2. What competencies did you notice the entrepreneur exhibited? 
    1. Chanel was an expert at her craft, the timeless shapes, colors, and designs made her extremely popular. She spent so much time tending to even the smallest of details, down to the inner lining of jackets and the bottoms of shoes. 
  3. Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you? 
    1. Pretty straight forward. 
  4. If you were able to ask two questions to the entrepreneur what would you ask? 
    1. Did you expect the fashion trends to be anywhere similar to what they are now? 
    2. What is your favorite item of clothing? 
  5. What do you think the entrepreneur's opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion?
    1. I expect that Chanel's opinion of hard work was to always persevere and pay attention to quality.

    Hello Nicole,
    I read your post several times before commenting just to make sure I fully understood how you felt. This story impressed me since "Coco" got famous but started in and orphanage and also started in poverty before she became a "expert at hr craft". I also found it interesting that the orphanage she was at taught her how to sew since I think it's a good skill to have even these days.

    Hello Nicole! I need to read that book! Sounds like an awesome read! Quality is so important! No one wants a product that sucks. Wow! Her like story is absolutely incredible! It is incredible how Coco got well-known. This goes to show you that anyone can be successful. A lot of people think success is only for the wealthy but they have it all backwards and they are just making excuses why being average is acceptable. It is so easy to say you are not successful because of your family but that is a terrible excuse.
