Assignment 30A Final Reflection


Image result for hard work

1)    Read through your posts from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had along the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread.
a.     There were a lot of highs and lows in this class. One low definitely was forgetting to submit my assignment. I really loved exploring the idea of starting a new business. 
2)   What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?
a.     The most formative experience was working on my elevator pitches. I thought it was very beneficial to develop and gain experience forming my elevator pitches. I liked receiving feedback from others to help better my elevator pitches. I will definitely remember this in years to come. 
3)   At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
a.     I feel a little bit more like an entrepreneur. I have definitely moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset and looking at the big picture, including being more realistic with my goals and market. I have begun to see the world as a place of opportunity where it takes a lot of thought into starting a business. 
4)   What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?

a.     I would recommend to students on this patch to stay on top of things and develop an open mind. To succeed in this class it is imperative to be realistic and genuinely have an idea that your passionate about, or else the entire semester writing about this one business idea that you’re not interested in is going to be very boring.

  1. Hey Kelly!
    I definitely agree with your recommendation. If you are not passionate in your idea, you're in for a long semester of boredom and trying to figure out what to write. If you're passionate the ideas will come to you automatically, and you will not mind investing time to these posts. This class has also helped me see the world as a place of opportunity, it has really changed my perspective.

  2. Hi Kelly,
    I totally feel you on missing submissions in the beginning of the semester as that was my worst moments in this course as well. The fact that this class was out of a hundred points made the submissions I missed crucial. I also agree with your advice that you should have a genuine interest towards the business idea that you come up with or this class would be very boring. I totally agree with that and think it is a great advice to give. Great Post!
