low- determining the barriers and obstacles I'd face in pursuing the idea
I had fun imagining what could come of the business, but I found some of the assignments to be more time consuming than beneficial.
2) I'm proud of myself for creating a realistic business and then trying so hard to understand the market for it. I think this practice will benefit me with any future marketing or entrepreneurship. I enjoyed reading about the other creative ideas in the class too. I also appreciated the feedback they gave me.
3) Unfortunately, I am stubborn and do no think I have developed much more of an entrepreneurial mindset. I now understand how the process works better, but I am not exactly inclined more to become and entrepreneur than I was before. I may have had this feeling to begin with so there wasn't much more convincing to do.
4) I would recommend that students set aside time each week for this course because it is more time consuming than it seems. I would also advise them to really bring in the concepts and values in the course and try applying them to their own lives, rather than only to the assignments. There is a lot to learn from the course and it can be shown in just these assignments. I think it may be difficult with this online course. I'd also recommend that they keep an open mind.
Riley,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your advice to the upcoming students taking this course and it is important that these assignments are taken seriously. These assignments were definitely more time consuming than I intended. I think the students should focus on this class at the beginning of the week so that they can get honest results. Rushing will not help nor further your learning or experience needed to find your passion.
Hi Riley,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that this course had plenty of ups and downs along the way. I can remember struggling to come up with a unique product that I could create a business around. I also agree that some assignments may have been overly time consuming. However, I will say that I learned valuable lessons from many of the more time consuming assignments. For example, the elevator pitch was very time consuming but I learned a lot from doing it.
Hi Riley,
ReplyDeleteYou make a very good point when you say that upcoming students should take these assignments seriously. People should attempt to learn how an entrepreneur sees the world. You made a very realistic bussiness and I believe it can be successful. It is a good idea for upcoming students to begin their assignments before the second half of the week as the assignments often time can sneak up on you and take longer than expected.
