Final Reflection

2. The most formative of all the assignments for me was the first elevator pitch. This was the first time where I had really thought out how my product would do in the real world. I had the idea since the bug list and knew I wanted to right about it, but I had never thought of how it would work logistically. I will probably remember the idea napkin for a long time. Writing down exactly what needed to be done, how to do it, and how to profit was definitely a memorable experience. I would say that I am most proud of the fact that I was able to come up with such an interesting idea. I am not a very creative person, and the idea is not that outside the box, but still bringing this thought to such and end really surprises me.

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.

  1. David,
    I 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.
