30A - Final Reflection

The experiences, or rather blog posts, that stuck out most to me were the venture concept posts. Both of these posts had significant documentation and asked many questions, meaning that not only were these my longest posts, but they were also the ones that had the biggest effect on the way I was going to move my business. Maybe this is because they came close to the end of the semester, but these posts really solidified the way I wanted to take my business concept.
After a semester in this class, I feel as though I have the knowledge and skills to make it as an entrepreneur in today's market. But to the actual question of, do I consider myself an entrepreneur, I cannot say I do. Pryor had made it very clear during his workshops that he had a distaste for this class for the reason that many of us do not actually do something entrepreneurial. So, while I feel as though I could become an entrepreneur and take nearly any business venture I head far, I cannot confidently say that I am an entrepreneur. In reference to the other question asked, yes I do believe that I have not just gotten closer to the entrepreneurial mindset, I believe I actually do have it.
The recommendation I have to any students taking this class in the future would be this, make sure that sometime throughout the semester, you sell something unique. Not only for the workshop held each semester, but to ensure that you truly use the skills acquired in this class to become an entrepreneur yourself. As for this course however, I will be honest, it is not that difficult, simply stay on top of your assignments and ensure that you aware of each assignment you will have to do at the start of each week to plan around them and give yourself ample time to complete them by the end of the week. To foster this mind set, please, please, please, start planning things ahead of time. Many people, myself included, come from a high school mindset where we do not need to worry about things until the due date. If you are like me, this is the course that will begin your transition to a more planning mindset. Take this as the first step to becoming more responsible when it comes to anything you do. Now that I've completed this course, I feel as though I've taken my first real step toward becoming a working part of today's society.
