Final Reflection
1. The highs of this class were learning how to think in a different way. To look at things and see an opportunity in them instead of something that just annoys you. The challenging things from this course were being comfortable enough in myself and my service to conduct interviews about it. Customer interviews were both a high when people really responded to my product but were also sometimes low when people didn’t understand the need for it.
2. I think the experience that stands out to me the most and will stick with me for years to come was creating the bug list. Seriously, every time now that I come across something that annoys me, for instance I can’t stand how messy and annoying extension cords look, it made me think of creating a retractable cord for everything in my house. I think what has made me the most proud in this class is really being able to come up with an original idea and see it through the entire semester.
3. I don’t know if I see myself as an entrepreneur or if I would ever want to be one. I can see myself having an entrepreneur side hustle, but never as my full time job unless I come across something I love. I do feel confident that this class has prepared me with a different way of thinking.
4. The recommendation I have for future students taking this class, is pick an opportunity and stick with it. There were times where I felt maybe I didn’t pick the right opportunity but I learned different ways to build upon it to make it my own and make it unique. To perform best in this class, I would say look ahead at the next weeks assignments to prepare and think about who you will be interviewing and what will be expected of you during hosting those interviews. In order to foster a mindset, just listen and take in the information from the videos you provide as well as listening to your peers.
