Assignment 30A: Final Reflection
- What stuck out to me the most in this class this semester was the very beginning of our entrepreneurial tasks. Brainstorming something to invent was really difficult because every time I would think of something, I would look it up online and realize that it was already created. However, once I found an opportunity to pursue, I really enjoyed developing that opportunity. For this reason, spending so much time thinking of a product or service to invent was definitely the most formative experience during this class.
- The most joyous experience during this class was definitely when I finally thought of a product/service idea that would not only work for all of my assignments in this class, but actually be beneficial in the real world. In fact, since my product was something that my family could use in our family business, I was even more excited that I was developing this idea.
- The experience that I am most proud of myself for accomplishing was recording all three of the elevator pitches. I am not a big fan of recording myself and I always get nervous when I have to remember particular information to state in a certain amount of time. However, when I read the feedback from my peers, I was able to see my progress that I made after each elevator pitch and how far I had come from the beginning.
- Taking this class really changed my mindset on how I see things. I now realize that there are opportunities all around us and that we can do anything as long as we give it time for development and thoughts. Therefore, I definitely think that I have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset and I do believe that I have become an entrepreneur because I always see the opportunity to create something beneficial for myself and for society as a whole.
- I would recommend that students going down this journey in the future should really take the time to develop their initial idea because every assignment in the future will be based off of that idea. By actually thinking of something valuable, you will be interested in completing your assignments for your idea rather than be annoyed that you have all of this work to do. To foster this mindset of actually caring about their assignments, I highly recommend that they assign themselves time every week to dedicate to their ENT3003 assignments instead of being pressured to complete them at the last minute. By dedicating time in their schedule specifically to this class, they will be able to better develop and work on their idea that would produce the best outcome.
Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that one of the best parts was finally figuring out what opportunity we would go with. Brainstorming has never been my strong suit so I definitely struggled to find something. If I didn’t take my time brainstorming I would have had a difficult time with each following assignments. But I do think having this experience of forming our own business idea can help us later in life because of the skills we developed by doing these assignments, whether those skills are time management, interviewing, planning out ideas, and so much more.
Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI agree that at the beginning brainstorming was very hard for me, especially the bug list. I didn't understand how I could have so many problems every day, but when it came to sitting down to list them I couldn't. I'm really glad that you were able to grow through your elevator pitches, it's good experience for the future where you may have to do recorded interviews. Overall good job.
Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI have been reading many of your posts since the start of the semester and I have watched you grow as an entrepreneur. I really believe that you have developed an entrepreneurial mindset and I am really impressed with your work that you have done throughout the semester. Your blog was one of the ones I enjoyed reading most. Well done and I wish you look in the future.
Hello Julia,
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that this class went great for you. I think you did a great job through out the entire semester and I have to tell you that because you were always one step ahead, I was able to submit the peer reviews early in the week. I wish yo the best and I really hope that you can take this idea into a real business.
