Successful Entrepreneur
I selected Steve, Singh as a successful entrepreneur. The reason I selected Singh is because he had a lot of experience dealing with entrepreneurship. “His reputation as one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the Seattle area is an asset to our West Coast franchise." Singh acquired some of his entrepreneurial skills while serving as a general manager for Symantec Corporation. This company is an international software firm. Their main focus is to protect information and computer systems. “Singh serves on various boards including RightNow Technologies and the Washington Roundtable. He also serves as chairman of the National Business Travel Association (NBTA) Foundation Board.” Singh show signs of motivation as well as dedication. These are two very important qualities to have when dealing with entrepreneurship. These different organizations that Singh was involved with shows his motivation as well as his dedication to becoming a successful entrepreneur. I think it is important to get involved with as many things as possible when dealing with entrepreneurship. This is important because this is how you learn to build a strong foundation for your organization. I believe Singh created a strong foundation, by becoming a chairman within these different organizations. Its seems as if Singh didn’t wait for things to come his way he looked for different opportunities to improve himself and seized them when they came along. These different characteristics and traits that Singh embodies are things that I try to pride myself on as well. I selected Singh because he somewhat reminds me of myself. I too want to become an entrepreneur. I know I won’t be able to do this over night and it will take lots of knowledge as well as skill in order to reach this goal. Singh showed signs of hard work and dedication which in turn made him a

    He has been working with the company since LG India set up operations in India in 1997. Growing with an establishment does have its advantages. You become familiar with the system. You are part of the growth. You know the history. You learn from your mistakes and take forward the positives. You have seen the innovations that worked and those that didn’t. You have watched people join and leave or stay on. And all this has added to the experience. So it’s no surprise when after 15 minutes into the meeting with KK Kaul, Vice-President (Head – SCM), LG Electronics India Pvt Ltd (LGEIL), the man not only begins to reel off figures and statistics related to various departments and products, but also speaks on the dynamics of business in general and the portfolio he handles in particular.

    In considering Charlie Wales plight in Fitzgerald's "Babylon Revisited," I believe Charlie is a victim of his own success.

I see Charlie attempting desperately to act out of character. Adept at business he has shown ability, humility and perseverance.…
