Final Reflection
One of the most formative experiences was when we had to interview people to see if our ideas were legitimate and worth proceeding with. The experience that I will remember the most would be the elevator pitches because I was never really able to nail them. I always felt awkward doing them no matter how may times I tried. It made me feel happy when my classmates would comment encouraging things on my blog page. I liked the way some classmates made encouraging comments. I would definitely see myself having more of an entrepreneurial mindset after taking this class. I find myself always thinking of new ways to possibly improve things no matter where Ima at like a supermarket or agency. If I had to make one recommendation to students beginning the path of this class, I would say to not take a week off. I decided to not do some assignments and not doing well int he beginning of the class and found myself scrambling at the last minute to complete every module. There is no need for that type of stress so I believe that you should do every assignment every week. I would also foster the mindset to think of an idea evolved around your passion rather than something that is easily conformed to. Don't make something that everyone else has already though of.

Luke, those elevator pitches literally haunted me during the entire class. Every time we completed one I would have to tell myself, "okay just x amount left, it's only me talking for a minute." However, I do think these elevator pitch practices will be helpful in the future. Your recommendation is also very accurate. There have been times where I haven't completed an assignment until the very end or did not watch a week's lecture and I have lost points because of it.
ReplyDeleteLuke, what a great final reflection! I think that we can both agree that this course helped shaped our futures in a good way. We both learned how to sell, not how to spell and I would not have had it any other way to be honest with you Luke. I enjoyed reading all of your posts this semester and hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteLuke I very much agree with the elevator pitches being awkward and hard to nail due to the fact. I agree that this semester taking this class that mindsets have changed a lot and you can even see it through the post! I also find myself looking and seeing opportunities for development of products, and even ways I could fix things myself that I used to not do. I like your statement at the end that describes to be original, I wish that I could have found something that really enlightened me for this class.
