Looking back at this semester, there were plenty of highs and lows in this class. I remember all the times I've felt stressed about conducting interviews and practicing elevator pitches multiple times. I enjoyed reading the books for this class and designing the customer avatar.
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?
The most formative experience for me was doing the elevator pitches. It was one of the most uncomfortable things I've done and in the moment, I dreaded it. However, looking back, I can see my growth and how I've become more comfortable delivering my pitch. The elevator pitches was the assignment where I could see my progress and apply it for future occurrences as well.
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?
Now that I am at the end of the semester, I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm a entrepreneur, but I would say that I have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset. I'm more receptive to failure and especially after reading books that exemplified an entrepreneur mindset, I have started adopting these characteristics as well.
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?
One recommendation I would make to students who are going to journey down this path in the future is to take your business idea seriously but have fun with it. You're going to be working with this one idea for the whole semester so have a genuine interest in it and experiment with the direction you could take it. Who knows, you could actually start it in the future, and if you do, you've already done some of the groundwork.
Hey Ashley, I think you provided some really solid points for this assignment. I like how for your most formative moment you put the elevator pitches. If I could add this point to assignment I would have because this was a really beneficial part of this course for me too. I really enjoyed reading that you recommended the future students to have fun with their concept because you are right, this is something they will use for an entire semester. Overall really great work on this post and I wish you good luck on your future entrepreneurial goals!
