1) Read through your blog from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread.
I actually really enjoyed a lot of the assignments from the class including the fun experience with handing out a dollar and seeing what would happen. I did not enjoy doing customer interviews because I had trouble finding customers that were available to talk to and interviewed.
2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?
I really loved the assignment where we had our family members and friends say positive things about us. That assignment really brought up my spirits. I think the experience I will remember most from later years would be definitely the giving out the dollar to random individuals. The look on peoples faces was very interesting and seeing how each person responded to this interaction was extremely entertaining.
3) At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. And we repeated the mantra -- I am an entrepreneur. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
I do 100% see myself as an entrepreneur. I really think I have the skills and ability to become a successful one and I think this class really helped me realize that and grow from myself.
4) What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?
I would recommend starting this with an open mind and really letting yourself learn a lot because it is so interesting to see how everyone can be an entrepreneur if they want to. All you need is a good idea and persistance to be successful.
Hello Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything that you stated in your post. I will always remember handing out money to random strangers for years to come. This was one of the most unique classes that I've ever taken and I'm happy to see that it influenced us to think outside the box. I wish the best for you in your future endeavors!
