Final Reflection

1. The most fun moment of the class was the time I actually thought of my venture. When we first had to develop our venture I remember this by far took me the longest. I was trying to develop something that not only I was passionate about, but also helped others. When I thought of rent-a-wheelchair I knew that was it because it got me excited about all of the next assignments in hopes to develop it even more. The assignment that I think I found the hardest was the elevator pitch. It was something that I was not looking forward to just because I'm not the type to particularly like speaking in front of people even if it is through a screen. After my third time around, I think I can confidently say I improved tremendously and it turned out well. The moments of dread were all the same: the interviews. I just never felt comfortable with it and I always felt like I was bothering people, even though I was sure that was not the case.

2. The most formative experience was what pushed me out of my comfort zone particularly the elevator pitch and the interviews. While I did not particularly like them, it definitely learned from them. I think I will remember putting my venture concept together for years to come. It forced me to compile all that I have worked on in the class and really delve deeper into my venture. My most joyous experience is reading what others ventures are and commenting on theirs and vice versa. I think I am most proud of accomplishing almost all of the assignments except if I was out of town or sick.

3. I think I for sure have developed an entrepreneurial mindset. In everything I do now I see myself somehow relating what I have learned in entrepreneurship. Since I have successfully developed a venture concept I would consider myself and entrepreneur.

4.The one recommendation I would make to student is that they work on everything ahead of time and turn it in before it is due. I cannot stress that enough, you cannot push off every assignment until the last day and complete everything. To perform best I think it is all about time management. Make a schedule and stick to it and make sure you are always checking up on the due dates. To foster this mindset you really have to strive for the A. Knowing that your end goal is to get an A in the course will really motivate you to finish all the assignments and do the extra credit.
