The Exit Strategy assignment stuck out to me most. I think it is very important to think about where you want to in 5, 10, 20 years from now and to think about how your career and business choices can affect that. It was exciting and interesting to think about how I plan to live my life and inspired me to work hard for my future. I am most proud of accomplishing the Elevator Pitch. The Elevator Pitch looked very scary at first glance but once I started it I felt more comfortable and eager to complete the assignment. By Elevator Pitch No. 3 I felt like I truly improved and made some great changes.
Yes, I do see myself as an entrepreneur. I am not dreaming but doing. I think the main thing I learned from this class is that being an entrepreneur is about overcoming and to keep moving forward. I can say with confidence from the exercises in the class I have overcame each exercise and as I was given opportunities to re do the exercises, I made improvements each and every time. Yes, I do think I have made steps to having the entrepreneurial mindset. I am no longer thinking small picture but big picture. Every decision is made with the thoughts of the future, and also from my customers point of view.
I would recommend to students who are going to journey down this path in the future to have a positive outlook on each assignment. I would recommend each student to choose an opportunity they are truly passionate about and would seriously consider doing in the future. Having passion and eagerness about your opportunity makes each assignment more interesting and allows you to explore options for your future. To foster the entrepreneurial mindset I would recommend looking at each assignment as an opportunity for improvement and to understand that your work may to be perfect but that feedback makes you better and failure gives you the drive to succeed.
Olivia,
ReplyDeleteI also said that the elevator pitch was the assignment I was the most proud of. I think it's easily one of our assignments where we can visually witness our improvement. Your recommendation to future students was similar to what I said as well. By having an idea that you're excited about will make future assignments much easier and interesting.
Olivia,

I thought your advice to future students was very helpful for them and would be useful for the future. I wish you the best of luck with your future plans!
Olivia,
ReplyDeleteI think that overall your blog post was great. I have been following your opportunity throughout and I think that it is excellent. I have to agree with the recommendation you gave. I would also say that people taking this class in the future should know the importance of choosing an opportunity they are passionate about because it is truly what we worked on throughout this whole semester. Great post.
