Assignment 30-Final Reflection

Throughout this semester, there have definitely been some highs and lows, but I feel that because of this class I have done a lot of self reflection and gained more of an entrepreneurial mindset than I had before. I am grateful for the readings we were assigned, as they gave me more entrepreneurial insight as well as just great life advice about how to carry myself and handle myself when dealing with others, especially from a professional standpoint. I think the fact that this class is pretty much self-paced is great because it puts everything on the student and we are able to choose our grade. At times, it was a double-edged sword. For example, there were a couple of assignments that I just completely forgot about, and because of the late work policy, I was forced to live with the consequences of my actions and decisions, which is an important skill to gain to become an entrepreneur.

I think I have definitely moved closer to an entrepreneurial mindset, and a lot of that comes from having to brainstorm for these assignments, but a lot also came from doing the peer reviews. Good entrepreneurs are able to recognize good ideas and give feedback, while really just bouncing ideas off of one another, and I think that's what we were able to do this semester.

For future students, I would tell them to put reminders of due dates in their calendar on their phone right off the bat so that they never completely forget about an assignment like I did a couple of times. To perform best in this course, I would recommend really choosing an idea they are passionate about since we are expected to run with the idea all semester long. When doing assignments, reflect as much as you can because I have realized so much about myself through completing these blog posts!

Not sure what picture to put so here's my headshot that (sorta) makes me look like an entrepreneur :)

  1. McKenna, first off nice picture you do look like an entrepreneur in it! I completely agree with you that this class has altered my mindset of being an entrepreneur. Through the use of the assignments, like the readings you said, or the in person interviews, to our elevator pitches' we were able to master the skills of completing these task and become better entrepreneurs because of it. I also like your suggestions you gave to future students because I myself was at fault of forgetting to do a few assignments for this class. Great post!
