This course was a learning experience and I had my ups and down throughout the semester. The most formative aspect that this course provided me was understanding the process it takes to develop a service or product and how to handle the successes and failures of exploiting an opportunity. Something that I will always take with me is that whenever you think you're done with something, you're not and that there is always room for improvement as the environment of entrepreneurship is ever changing. The most joyous moment for me was watching a loose business idea transform into an opportunity that I could take advantage of one day and actually make a living doing it. I thought my idea was doomed from the start, but by sticking to the steps, I was able to develop something with promise. My ability to take what I've learn from this course and utilize it in future endeavors is what I'm most proud of. Before this course, I had no idea what it meant to be an entrepreneur, but now I think I have a solid foundation and I'm excited for what my future holds.
I find myself thinking more like an entrepreneur no matter what I'm working on. The entrepreneur mind set has helped me with my problem solving ability and ability to take something and look for ways to improve it to make it easier or more exploitable. I've always wanted to start my own business, but never really knew how until now. I view myself as more of an entrepreneur now, but I realize I still have a ways to go.
To get the most out of this course and entrepreneurship in general, I would say you have to be open minded. There's always a better way to do something and being closed minded could cut you off from the ability to improve yourself or a business. It's a lot more than just going through the motions, and actually applying yourself and future ambitions to this course could be one of the best and most lucrative things you do.

Hi Caelan,
ReplyDeleteI also did not know much about entrepreneurship before this class. I think this class has taught me a mew and different way to think about things and solve problems. I agree that the class is a lot more than going through the motions. It is what you put into it, so give it your all!
Hi Caelan,
ReplyDeleteI can relate to your post so well. I did not know that much about entrepreneurship thought process or mindset before taking the course. I now understand what to look for and how to identify an opportunity. I think it was pretty cool that we were able to come up with concepts that could actually be a real business one day.
