Final Reflection - Week 15

What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?
The most formative experience was writing my venture concept. I put a lot of time and energy into creating that post and I'm very proud of it. In the future if I ever decide to pursue my idea I know I'll be able to reference that post. I have confidence in what I described and now I presented my idea. My most joyous experience was going out to interview costumers live. It was very fun and spur of the moment and I enjoyed interacting in person with others. Even though it was hard at times I found it to be very rewarding. I'm most proud of myself for actually doing every single post. There's a lot of times I thought about just skipping an assignment because I could make up the points. But I wanted to get the most out of this class so I stuck it out and did all of them. 
At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. And we repeated the mantra -- I am an entrepreneur. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset? 
I don't consider myself an entrepreneur. I'm not confident in what my knowledge is in its entirety. I do however feel comfortable in my ability to talk about the subject of entrepreneurship and what goes into the process. I think that my mindset is aligned with entrepreneurship. I think about things differently now when it comes to business, and to be honest I didn't think I would. 
What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?
I would recommend that students truly give this class a chance. I understand the assignment are tedious and sometimes abstract - but it's more interesting than a normal teaching style. Make sure you do your assignments on time and actually try!

  1. You are an entrepreneur Kristiana! I like how you did every assignment. I didn't do every assignment and thought I could make up the points but that's because I was super busy with scheduling a film shoot but other wise I would totally of done every one of them. It looks like you really got something out of this class, that's awesome!

  2. Hi Kristiana! I definitely agree that the venture concept was the assignment I had to put the most work and thought into. It was probably my longest and most detailed post and even if I do not become an entrepreneur or start my business that I had discussed, these thoughts and questions will always be things I can reference with any start to a new idea. This really outlined for me where my mind should be as I go in to the real world. I also agree that it was hard work to do every post because there's a lot and they can be hard to keep up with, but it definitely was nice to see such a full blog at the end of the semester! Good job at keeping up with everything!

  3. Hey Kristiana!
    Awesome final reflection but I'd like to say I personally do think you're an entrepreneur! I'd like to uplift you because hearing you say even though you don;t feel like you're an entrepreneur but you find yourself thinking about things differently and can talk about entrepreneurship, well that sounds like the birth of a new entrepreneur to me! Also, I too feel like I put a lot of work into my venture concept post so I totally understand how that was one of the assignments that stuck out most. I also completely agree with your advice for the newest generation of entrepreneurs after us!
