Final Reflection
I think my most formative experience in this class was doing the idea napkin. That was the first time I put down all my ideas in a connected sense and allowed me to see what I was actually creating. I think this is an important step for any entrepreneur to take in the early development of his/her idea. I really enjoyed doing the assignments requiring reading books on entrepreneurs, because they have a lot of knowledge to share. I definitely dreaded interviewing random people about my business concept, but I was surprised that they also had a lot of helpful knowledge to share. I'm very proud that I went through with it, and faced my fears. I definitely am developing an entrepreneurial mindset, and catch myself looking for opportunities in everyday life, where I wouldn't have before. I recommend to future students to keep an open mind. Some of the assignments may seem challenging or out of their comfort zone, but by pushing forward and welcoming every opportunity for growth, you will simulate the mindset of an actual entrepreneur. By the end of the course, you will have experienced that entrepreneurial mindset, which will be so worth all the work you invested.

Hi Abby,
ReplyDeleteMy final reflection was quite similar to yours, with the exception that I chose the venture concept assignments as my most formative experience. I can also see how the idea napkin was quite a formative experience as well, as it helped me to foster much creativity and find new ways to look at my business idea. This class did put us in some awkward situations with the interviews and the elevator pitch assignments, but I think that is what it takes to start a business. I wish you the best moving forward, Darren.
Abby,
ReplyDeleteI think that the idea napkin was a great assignment because it allowed for creative expression and ideas to generate easier. I agree that the interviews were a little bit awkward but they serve a great purpose and have allowed us to move out of our comfort zone.
Hi Abby,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about how this class has changed my mindset. I see things in everyday life and look for an opportunity. Although I will probably not act on most of these opportunities, it's good to always think about these kind of things anyway. I like your advice to future students.
