2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
As an entrepreneur, it is important to be willing to take risks because the risk you take could impact someone else. In the case of Coco Chanel, she was able to revolutionize women's fashion. Entrepreneurs can come from anywhere and from all walks of life. I always enjoy reading about successful people, and I am glad that this class allowed us to read several biographies/autobiographies.
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
I would ask the class to dream big, and write up a "dream venture". This would allow students to "reach for the stars" and dream of the impossible - similar to Coco Chanel.

4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
I was most surprised by how Chaney chose to highlight some of the dark sides of Coco Chanel. Often times, we idolize people and only showcase the good. However, Chaney chose to bring light to some of Chanel's romantic life, personal struggles, drug use, and sexuality. I was not expecting this in the book.
