30A: Reflection
- During this class, the most formative experience was creating a video pitch in the comfort of my own home. We did not only do it once but three times! Not only was it a new and formative experience for me, it was also empowering. I was able to share my idea with my peers who encouraged me and reminded me why college beneficial and pulls you out of your comfort zone.
- I am most proud and joyous about coming up with my one main product/service. It's a service that I never even thought I'd be able to develop and now I have the drive to develop it (as long as no one steals it!) I am now more confident.
- I certainly see myself as an entrepreneur at this point because of this class. The assignments allowed me to deliver messages in an authentic way and I was able to shape how I would start my business through the venture concept. It is a starting point to helping me continue developing the entrepreneurial mindset. I also loves how we had guest speakers who are entrepreneurs. Those speakers helped me have an idea of what it's like to be in their shoes.
- I would reccommend that students write down calendar reminders in their phone so they can keep up with deadlines and schedule time to complete assignments. I would also reccomend them to trust in themselves and understand that this class will help them become more confident.
Hi GG,
ReplyDeleteI'm also proud of my ability to come up with an original business idea and I think it was key in developing an entrepreneurial mindset. Judging by what I've read about this semester as far as you and your experiences, I'd say you have an entrepreneurial mindset and the drive to succeed in anything you set your mind to. I love your advice to be confident in the methods of this class, it has definitely improved me as a person and keeping a calendar is a good idea too, it's something I implemented this semester.
Hey Gernise,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on all three elevator pitch assignments being the most formidable and empowering ones of this course. Not only was it kind of unsettling for me at first since it was in my own personal space, being recorded is not my preferred method of getting my idea out there. However, as each one passed, I got even more comfortable and confident in my pitch, and that ended up being one of my favorite and most impactful assignments.
Hey Gernise,
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting you loved the elevator pitches so much! Personally, I felt awkward, but I am glad to see you thrived in the assignments. You created a great, unique app this semester and I have really enjoyed following your idea process and growth throughout the semester. Finally, I agree with your reminders because there are a lot of assignments that sneak up out of nowhere. Great job, and I hope you have a great break!
Gernise,
ReplyDeleteAfter watching your business idea grow over this semester and seeing your elevator pitches, I have no doubt in my mind that you have a true entrepreneurial mindset. I agree with you about the importance of the elevator pitches because they can show how passionate one is for their business and it is also sometimes a lot easier to understand the product or idea when it is described to you through the founders voice and you can actually put yourself in those situations. I also agree about the assignments creeping up because it happened to me multiple times and it is not fun to cram those assignments.
