Final Reflection

     Looking back on the variety of assignments that we’ve completed this semester it’s crazy to think about how much this class has changed me. I found that any assignment that challenged me to go out and interview people really took me out of my comfort zone and as a result will probably be the assignments that I will always remember, mostly because of how proud I am for completing them. The reading assignments probably taught me the most about what entrepreneurship is but the other assignments taught me what being an entrepreneur means.

     I don’t know if I would fully call myself a full entrepreneur but I’m definitely closer to being one than when I started this class. Throughout the past fifteen weeks I’ve noticed that I’m more aware of problems around me and I’m slowly starting to think of ways to solve these problems. The most important aspect of being an entrepreneur that I’ve taken away from this class is that I’m more open to the idea of failing. I realize that while you need to try your best at everything you do, you need to be able to accept the fact that you will fail but that doesn’t mean you’re a failure, what I’ve taken away is that, it means your succeeding at being an entrepreneur.

     My biggest advise for anyone considering taking this class is to ask yourself why you want to take this class. What do you really want to get out of it, an easy A or validation of your business concept? If you take this class with the right intentions then you won’t view the assignments as mundane tasks. Actually do the assignments. This might seem obvious but the best way to experience what being an entrepreneur is, means doing the assignments. To have the best success in this class try and work a week ahead, I’ve found that there’s a lot less stress involved when you have a week buffer for some of the assignments.
