The purpose of a rhetorical message is to persuade an audience in favor of a particular viewpoint. That is easier said than done. This essay will articulate the different rhetorical characteristics the author Gary Vaynerchuk used in his multimodal text titled, “The Entrepreneurial Spirit: Are Entrepreneurs Born or Made?” This text suggests that the term entrepreneur is used loosely and that successful entrepreneurs are born with innate traits rather than obtaining those traits throughout life.

In an argument, the best way to sway the opponent is to appeal to their emotions. In an online video called “3 Tips on Negotiation,” Chris Voss, an FBI hostage negotiator, examined three effective strategies to win over a debate or negotiation. All three discussed the use of ethos and pathos, appeals and word choices. Making sure the opponent is in an exceptional mood makes them all the more inclined to cooperate with the other, and reflecting on their thoughts also helps the opponent stay engaged and encouraged to answer questions and collaborate. One of the first things Voss explains is that intentionally lightening the mood of the dispute further coordinates the sides.

Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and J. P. Morgan is that you can’t always get what you want. You won’t always win some battles and you have to accept it. You will commit mistakes and it’s okay, as long as you learned from them. To not be greedy because wanting too much would not get you any better. To know and understand people because you have to be careful to choose whom you can trust. You have to make use of your strengths and try to develop your weaknesses because your competitors will always try to blow you at your weakest point. Being an Entrepreneur, failure is not always an option. The most successful people had an idea, believed it, build it and made it because they took the risks and never gave up. That in every uncertainty, there is an opportunity. You have to look for improvements, make your product even better or else, someone else will do it. The industry is a tough competition so you have to be smart in making decisions and solutions to your

Many people have either engaged in an argument that seemed unsolvable or witnessed such an argument between friends and family members.

The idea of a self-made man has always been a centerpiece of the American Dream, an identity that embodies the belief that anyone can achieve prosperity and success from even the lowest-ranking positions. One of America’s finest “self-made men” reflects this flawed ideal that fails to account for the variety of factors stacked against an individual. In his speech, “The Road to Business Success: A Talk to Young Men”, Andrew Carnegie argues that the self made man exists, and it is possible to become a successful businessman and leader through hard work. He begins his speech by arguing that all successful individuals must start in lower ranking positions, as he did. He then highlights three requirements every leading businessman must follow

Throughout the semester in entrepreneurship 3301, I’ve been blessed with not two but three teachers, the third being Gary Keller’s book, The ONE Thing. Gary Keller is not the normal businessman, but also as a teacher. He and his company Keller Williams Realty International became what it is today by him teaching his employees what it takes to be successful in ones life. Mr. Keller did not just want employees who knew how to do their job. No, he wanted employees who were succeeding in every aspect in their lives, personal or otherwise, to do so he taught and he taught them well. His book is accumulation of his teachings. It is the facts he believes an individual needs to become both happy and successful no matter what they do. With his book, he has been able to touch the life of millions and that his why I am proud to say his book was my third teacher in Entrepreneurship 3301.

At a low point in her life, with her father recently passed away and her business came close to collapse, Rhonda’s daughter had given her a copy of The Science of Getting Rich, a book written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. When reading this book Rhonda stated that: “Something inside of me had me turn the pages one by one, and I can still remember my tears hitting the pages as I was reading it...” This book changed her life, and it was based on the practice of positive thinking.

As the eldest son of first generation immigrants, the stimulus to create an elitist academic attitude was prevalent even in the games I played as a child. My first encounter with business began with Reader Rabbit, a cartoon hare that brought me along with him on his journey through Wordville. Together, we stumbled upon a sandwich shop, posed with the dilemma of making change for a customer. My mother guided me through the steps, defined the denominations of each coin, and explained the simple arithmetic involved in the purchase of a sandwich. Reader Rabbit and I visited the shop many more times over the course of our adventure, developing my love for business management at a young age.

Ben Franklin once said “If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may achieve a victory sometimes; but it will be an empty victory because you will never get your opponent’s good will.” When arguing with another person there is not any

I have always been interested in “doing my own thing” or, better known as, entrepreneurship. In high school, I would buy T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats in bulk. I’d embroider little emblems on them and mark up the price by 100%. People at school would buy $1 shirts and pay $9 for my craftsmanship. However, I wanted bigger and better things. I channeled Andrew Carnegie in my approach to business: why just stop at my little venture when I could vertically integrate and market for myself? I decided to invest all my money in a new cause and thus, my own social media marketing company was born. The skills I’ve learned in starting my company is something that cannot be taught. I would relish the opportunity to grow and learn at an institution like The Stephen M. Ross School of Business that understands the importance of innovation and exploration.

An essential piece of knowledge in the art of persuasion is to realize whether or not your conflict is a true argument or a petty fight. “ in a fight, one person takes his aggression out on another” (heinrichs 17). The motives behind both an actual argument and a fight are completely different because when a person is truly arguing they are merely trying to persuade and influence their opponent’/audience. However a fight consists of one party angrily unloading their emotions and onto the opposing party and have very little goals other than to relieve their frustrations and tend to not actually achieve anything of significance. So when one finds themselves in a conflict it is paramount to recognize your goals and treat the conflict as an argument if you want to achieve meaningful results and always be sure to not let petty emotions overcome you and turn an argument into a fight.

Goldstein analyzes Chua’s definition of the word success; to be top of the class, to go to an Ivy League school, and to get a great paying job. He compares “success” to show-biz and Hollywood, a town built by mostly uneducated millionaires. He challenges Chua to see a different perspective on the means of becoming successful. Goldstein mentions Chua’s discussion with former president of Harvard University Larry Summers at a past World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Summers argued that the two Harvard students that have had the most impact on the world both dropped out of the school (Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg). Goldstein asserts that they didn’t get to the top of their industries by “book learning”. Their knowledge extended beyond the classroom, learning in a way that Chua would consider unorthodox or weak. Gates and Zuckerberg became billionaires partially because of their ideas, but a big part of their success was their ability to network with their peers or big companies. In another example, Goldstein recalls

Scientific and technological progress is one of the most important and far reaching of humanity’s effort streams throughout history. One of the hallmarks of any great society is what new or improved knowledge of the world and how it works that the society can contribute. A strong and vibrant culture celebrates the spirit of invention and innovation. Closely allied with this concept is the spirit of entrepreneurship, considered one of the greatest qualities of the American culture.
