Final Reflection

I really enjoyed writing posts about my venture idea. It’s something I have been thinking about and during this class I have seen the amount of potential it has to someday become a reality. Although I thought I would dread the elevator pitches, they weren’t the worst experience because I just got to talk about something I was passionate about. I am also most proud of myself for the elevator pitches because I didn’t let my worry of not doing well stop me from trying.

I do think I have developed more of an entrepreneurial mindset in that I look around the world and see problems that have potential solutions, it’s just no one has figured out what that solution is yet.  I used to not think about things that way because it wasn’t my responsibility to solve the problems so why would I try. Now I find it fun and exciting to spot these things and think of ways to solve or just improve them.

I would tell anyone taking this course in the future to really think about something they are passionate about and come up with a venture that has something to do with that. If you are doing these assignments on something you are passionate about, it will be much easier to do them and they won’t seem nearly as dreadful as they would otherwise. Passion fuels work ethic so if you care about what you are doing, it will come much more naturally than if you don’t. 

And of course: How I feel about the semester finally being over...
