Final Reflection

1.     I have read over my blog posts from this semester and I have enjoyed doing it. Some of the highs were talking to potential customers. Some of the lows were also talking to potential customers. I found the end result to be good, but I dreaded it going into it.

2.     I think that the most formative experience was the “What’s your Secret Sauce” assignment. I found that very helpful and is something that I will remember for a long time. I have thought a lot about what I do well, but I have never really talked to friends about what ‘they’ think I do well. That was also my most joyous experience. It was nice hearing about what I do well. The experience that I am most proud of for accomplishing is the venture concept assignment. It took the longest to write up, so I was happy when I completed it.

3.     I do see myself as an entrepreneur because I feel that I could be ready to go out and start a business. I think there would be a lot of failure along the way, but I feel that I am much more prepared than I was at the beginning of the semester. I have moved a lot closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset because I am always thinking about things that bug me and potential unmet customer need.

4.     One recommendation that I would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future is to work hard on all of the assignments. There is so much to get out of this course, but you have to put in work to get everything out of it. I would recommend that they plan out when they are going to do the assignments to preform best in this course. I would recommend that they make a calendar for this class to be able to foster that time management mindset.

I have included a picture of a smiley face because I am happy about all that I learned in this class.
