Final Reflection
I think the most formative experience anybody takes from this class is the development and pursuit of a single business idea. I have taken different classes with entrepreneurial aspects though most of them had students switch from one idea to another, or rather attempting to find opportunities in a set of different markets. This class was unique with regards to learning how to develop a business idea, and although it is arguable whether focusing on a single idea is more beneficial than attempting to focus on various scenarios (for the sake of learning), it definitely outlines a recommendable path to see through what seem to be “napkin ideas”.
Although I most probably won’t advance with my venture, I do wish to seek out a business idea that I would be more fond of, or have more passion in pursuing, so that I can apply the same exercises completed in this course and seek its development.
On the topic of developing an entrepreneurial mindset, I believe there is a degree of nature involved-- some simply are born entrepreneurs. What this class did though was provide a basis for all of us, so that we are all knowledgeable with regards to how an entrepreneurial mindset works.
For incoming students preparing to take this course, I would suggest putting effort into developing a business idea that is important to them, so that they can benefit from each exercise and hopefully follow through with their venture.
Great reflection Carlos. I think you are in the majority with regards to not pursuing your venture. Needless to say, whilst you won't pursue it, the class has provided you with a great guide in pursuing future ventures of yours which you may hold more of a belief for.
ReplyDeleteYou're very right about suggesting to others to apply their efforts on a business idea that means something to them. You will find that you not only enjoy the course a whole lot more, but you will get far more out of it and it may actually be of a lot of use for your future if you are passionate enough to commit to it
Hey Carlos,
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection, it really shows that you enjoyed all the class had to offer!It is disappointing to see that you have no desire in pursuing your venture, I feel the knowledge that you have gained in this course is invaluable and when you do decide to purse a venture you'll be well equipped to handle the task.
