Sahar Hashemi's speech "What Makes an Entrepreneur"

A reaction essay

In this speech, Sahar Hashemi illustrates what she believes it takes to be an


entrepreneur. She defines it in a way where anyone can do it and how you
don't need to have a specific skill set. Hashemi shared her knowledge on the
importance of different aspects such as networking, management,
motivation, and more to being a successful entrepreneur. She also talked
about on how in an unorthodox way, she went from being a lawyer to
becoming a CEO. I find that the most interesting part of her speech. The
journey of her coffee business is deeply embedded in me. Her story made
me realize many important things. The first one I’m being reminded of is the
importance of choosing a career. One must consider his/her interest before
deciding what profession to pursue, as Hashemi assured us that “What you
love doing, you’ll be good at.” Another is that never be afraid to take risks.
Risks may take you to new heights, help you reach new milestones in your
life just like what Hashemi achieved. Some risks may not pay off, but failure
provides the most valuable lessons a person can learn. You won’t really know
until you try. Making do with what you have, taking risks, and not being
afraid of taking chances are in fact, the distinctive qualities that make up an
entrepreneur. I also learned that we should never worry about not knowing.
Sahar Hashemi says that the most successful people are those who are
willing to be clueless because the best ideas come from not knowing what
you don't know. Lastly, the takeaway where I was particularly intrigued was
when she said “do not give up.” The intensity and passion in her voice made
me connect with her. You must be persistent and failure might discourage
you, but the important thing is to not give up, to try again, and even if you
fail again, keep trying until you succeed. Through her charming anecdotes
and boldly honest confessions, I can say that Hashemi's speech captured the
spirit of entrepreneurship and left me inspired to go out and make my big
dreams happen.
