3. I would say that I definitely have a better idea of how I would be as an entrepreneur. That idea being, I would have cool products that would never really get made. The problem for me is I would be so unlikely to actually get to the point of creation. I think I can certainly think through the whole process, meaning I think I do have an entrepreneurial mindset. However, I do not think this makes me an entrepreneur (for one I still can't spell the word) since I would not take action.
4. If a student truly wants to be an entrepreneur, I think they need to have real world practice being a part of a small business. Without the real experience, the fear of trying will likely stop their idea from becoming a reality. The best way to perform in this class is to stay on top of the assignments. If you can set time away twice a week for them, this class is not too terribly hard.
David,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your fourth point about having real world practice and having those experiences. I think it will help them really get a feel for what they are getting themselves into and perhaps help them understand the industry more and what all of the demands are. Loved reading your posts this semester and hope your product takes off if you do decide to pursue it.
