· I think that each of the elevator pitches stand out to me as the most formative experience in this class. They gave me a better idea of how to sell my business concept and I was able to apply the “selling” aspect of the assignment to “selling” myself in interviews and to recruiters. I will probably remember this experience later on as it has made me very comfortable with speaking and presenting an idea in front of people. The experience that I am most proud of was the networking assignment where we had to reach out to different experts within the field of our business concept. This made me more comfortable with reaching out to people and learning to not be afraid to reach out to others for assistance/help. Networking is a crucial part in becoming successful as an entrepreneur, so it was very cool to be able to work on that skill within this course.
· I can see myself having developed an entrepreneurial mindset throughout this course. Working on my business concept has allowed me to become more creative with how I view product concepts and their applications. I have been able to learn a lot more about the entrepreneurial process and I think this has helped shape my mindset and change the way that I think about different things.
· I would recommend that students make sure to focus on time management. There are many assignments in this course that are very tedious and require planning so time management is critical in ensuring they complete the assignments on time. I would also recommend that they take the time and actually invest their time/energy into this course. The more you put into the course and its assignments, the more you will be able to learn about the entrepreneurial process. To foster an entrepreneurial mindset, I would say to just actually put effort into the assignment and think about how the lessons from the lectures actually apply to the assignments assigned for this course.
Hello Javier. After reading your posts over this semester I feel like you have learned a lot from your pitches as well. I saw the improvement, from the first one to the last. One starts to feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is a good skill to have. I also agree with your advice of time management being a very skill to have for this class. It is not hard, one only has to make the time to put in the work.
