1. This class has been a great experience for me. There were certainly difficult stretches that challenged the way I have thought for years, but ultimately, I am most certainly better because of it. The high of the semester was when we had our first assignment about finding things that bugged us. This really helped change the way I viewed entrepreneurship. Additionally, I enjoyed the elevator pitches and thought it was a great way to practice public speaking. The lows for me generally came when I had to stick with an idea that I didn’t think I could do currently. It was hard doing interviews when I didn’t feel like I really had a viable business. These were the moments when I wanted to give up on working to become an entrepreneur, but now I know I only needed to have a growth mindset.
2. I really think the most formative experience came from the Bug List and identifying solutions to those problems. This was a great assignment and helped me to change the outlook I had on what entrepreneurship is. I am proud of being able to consistently learn and grow throughout the semester and being able to develop a growth mindset and better understanding of entrepreneurship.
3. I don’t think I see myself as a successful entrepreneur yet. However, I feel I have the tools to become one down the line. I most certainly have moved closer to an entrepreneurial mindset and I now understand what makes an entrepreneur. It is a process that can be learned, and it takes being willing to take risks and learn from it. I have learned some great lessons this semester and it will help me in whatever my future holds.
4. I would recommend that people choose an idea that they are passionate about and would like to learn about. You will have to do a lot of research around your idea, so make sure you choose something that you enjoy learning about. One of the best tips to succeeding in the course is to simply stay on task and not be afraid of failure. By being open to learning from rejection from interviews and other assignments, you can learn some valuable lessons in the course. I would also recommend reading The New Psychology of Success. That book was incredible and has helped me to develop a growth mindset that will help in all areas of life.
