I started this blog in January, and over the course of four months, I have had some good times, and some not so good. I like to end on a high note, so I will start out on a low note. I will say that the weekly reading was my enemy. Although I did learn some ideas from it, most of it was just common sense put onto paper. I dreaded Sundays for this reason. I also did struggle with My Unfair Advantage. On a high note, I really enjoyed the Venture Concept; it made be more enthusiastic about my business. On an even higher note, I loved Amazon Whisperer. It was my favorite activity this semester and it made me realize how much fun I have when trying to improve products.
My Experiences:
My most formative experience was from Celebrating Failure; I have problems with time management and putting my struggle into words will help me overcome it in the future.
The experience that I will remember the most is Venture Concept No. 2; I had a great time planning out the future and ten years down the line, I will remember the business plan I set up.
As I mentioned earlier, my most joyous experience was Amazon Whisperer; I never knew I loved to solve product problems until I did this assignment.
My experience that I am most proud of is Google Gold. I made it to the first page of Google and was excited and very proud of myself for making it there.
Entrepreneurial Mindset:
At the beginning of the semester, I recorded The Entrepreneur Mantra. When I recorded it, entrepreneurship was just an idea floating in my mind. Now, I consider myself a potential entrepreneur. After Amazon Whisperer, I know that I have the entrepreneurial mindset and am excited about it too.
Recommendation to Future Students:
I recommend to students that passion is everything. If you're not passionate about your product/service, you will not enjoy this semester. I've seen this on other blogs and their lack of care for their idea really shows. I am very passionate about my product and I enjoyed this class because of it. Also, in order to foster the entrepreneur mindset, don't be afraid of failure, embrace it. It means you are trying and always learning.
Hey Kristine! Great post. I also dreaded the reading reflections; compared to everything else in the class, I seemed to not get as much out of it! I loved the Free Money assignment though, it added some humor to our assignments and my day! It's awesome you became more enthusiastic about your venture. Enthusiasm and passion are so important in this field. If you want to see my post, it can be found here: http://entblogemilytreasure.blogspot.com/2016/04/final-reflection.html
ReplyDeleteHi Kristine, thanks for sharing your final reflection with us! I agree that I wasn't the biggest fan of the reading reflections, there were so many that I had to treat them more like a chore than an opportunity to learn. I agree that the free money assignment was really cool! I talked a lot about it in my reflection, which you can check out here if you like http://jlopez3003.blogspot.com/2016/04/final-reflection.html
ReplyDeleteHi Kristine, great job on the reflection! I was also proud to make it on to the first page of Google! I can relate to the dread of the weekly reading assignments, they were definitely the most boring thing we had to do all semester. It's awesome that you got so much out of this course!
