1) Read through your posts from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread
This semester has been a blast, especially this course! I have developed many skills, including the ability to take constructive criticism and use it to better myself. The ability to use criticism not as a personal attack, but in a way to better oneself, is what i believe to be one of the major keys of many success stories.
2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?
This has been a very different experience for me than many other previous classes. This class has taught me many skills, from the interviews to the elevator pitches, to the cupcakes jam packed with useful information for eventual and hopeful entrepreneurs. The experiences that I will remember years later is the dedication and attentiveness that this class allowed me to develop along the course of the year. I was continuously reminded week in and week out, to complete the assignments given each each, and to complete them with effort and passion. I did just that and this class allowed me to further my forward thinking as an entrepreneur.
3) At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
I think before the class I had an entrepreneurial mind and mindset, but this class certainly helped me refine and further develop that mindset. I have always seen myself as an entrepreneur, but I am grateful for the opportunities and lessons this class has taught me along the way.
4) 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?
I would recommend that almost every student be required to take ENT as an elective, so they can begin to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, or further their mindset and refine their vocabulary of certain terms by applying themselves during these assignments and taking proper notes so they can excel in the cupcake quizzes. I think the way to perform best in this course would be to set reminders weekly, so that these assignments are completed entirely and on time. I think fostering the mindset is ultimately up to the individual, everyone is different and people take a liking (or disliking) to certain attributes. I think in order for someone to develop this entrepreneurial mindset, they must be tough minded and focused on improving their future and mindset through particular entrepreneurial endeavors.

Hi Jake,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post and liked how you said you really enjoyed doing the assignments for this class. It is great to see how this class taught you how to think more like an entrepreneur and how it gave you more confidence in the world of business. I have enjoyed reading all your posts from this semester and I wish you nothing but success in your business venture!
Hey Jake,
ReplyDeleteNice post about your reflection of this class. I believe you when you say this class taught you how to become an entrepreneur. It has allowed all of us to think out the box and develop some great businesses plans. Also I too believe I had the right mindset before this class but this class just helped me sharpen my tools.
Hey Jake,
ReplyDeleteI also really learned that constructive criticism can go a long way and that really helped to develop and craft the entrepreneurial mindset. I also really liked how you highlighted that this class is way different than other classes and I really agree with that. The assignments are different and just the overall feel of the class. I too told the future students to take notes and pay attention to lectures because if you don't those cupcakes will take a toll on your grade.
Hi Jake,
ReplyDeleteI think that something that I also really learned was how important it was to learn from my mistakes and to take constructive criticism. I would also say that I have not taken any other classes like this and it was a learning curve for me. I think that it was a great way to teach myself some discipline.
Hey Jake,
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed reading your final reflection and it was great to see how this class really helped you develop an entrepreneurial mindset, develop new skills and overall how this class has just been a great learning experience for you. Through receiving constructive criticism was i able to work and improve upon my business venture so that it could suit the greater population with the unmet need. I feel like this class is essential for students who plan on starting their own business in the near future because like you said it will help hone and refine their skills even further.
