- I enjoyed the elevator pitch experience the best! It was very surprising to see how I can come up with a compelling speech for a product that does not even exist. It was also great receiving positive feedback and constructive criticism to improve on my future elevator pitches. I am most proud of coming up with a product and a business plan in general. It’s tough to carry projects through to the end and it is really interesting to see how much everything has changed.
2) Do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
- I definitely see myself as an entrepreneur! I saw the formation of my own product from a very simplistic terms in the first weeks to the very detailed and developed plan of that product and many more products into a whole business plan. If I were to actually to create a business, I would know the steps, ups and downs, and how to move forward in any situation.
3) What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?
- My main recommendation is to have great time management for this class. By completing assignments, a little every day, it will all add up at the end of the week when everything is due. I suggest reading them on Monday to start thinking about what you are going to write and then actually start writing on Wednesday. You get out what you put into this course, therefore the more the better.
I'm glad you really enjoyed this class and the elevator pitches! What a good way to develop your public speaking and confidence in a safe classroom environment. I agree with you recommending having great time management. It's so easy to get behind on assignments and readings. It was a pleasure having you in my group and watching your product develop from the beginning to a detailed plan on how you would execute this business plan. I wish you good luck on your future endeavors!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jessica! I agree that this class was well-structured. Looking back, it is pretty awesome to see how far we have come from making the Bug List, to selecting an opportunity, and then to developing that opportunity into a complete business idea. You provided some great tips as well on time management, because that truly is the key to doing well in this class and actually getting something out of it. Thanks for all your posts and also for the feedback on mine. It was great being in your group and I wish you the best of luck in your academic career!
ReplyDeleteHello Jessica, I can totally see where you are coming from when you mentioned that you enjoyed the elevator pitches. Elevator pitches are one of the most important parts of the business world, so doing them for this class was incredibly helpful. Coming up with a product and business plan is also something that I found very helpful from this class.
