Final Reflection

What sticks out to me as the most formative experience in these past few months is the whole journey in itself. I think I cannot recall one specific instance that I can say was the most formative for me. My patience has been tested tremendously. Being able to handle so many things at once has really impacted my life as a whole. I am most proud of myself for always pushing through and toughing it out. The amount of effort I put into everything I do always shows and I am rewarded for it.
Yes, I definitely feel that I have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset. I see myself as an entrepreneur. However, I have a lot to practice and much to go over. It is far too extensive to just jump into it. I think that people assume being your own boss and creating to be successful is easy. It is not and it is also something I would like to advocate before people presume the wrong things about the responsibility being an entrepreneur entitles.
One recommendation I would make to the students that are going down this path is to have an open mind. One has to be open to failure and many downfalls in order to achieve the goal in entrepreneurship. I think the best thing to say about succeeding in this course is to manage your time wisely. It is super difficult to so it's best to make lists and prioritize.

  2. Hi Isabella,

    Funny spongebob pic lol. I agree with pretty much everything you said here. Although I didn't really feel like I had any formative experiences in this class unfortunately. It was definitely not something I'd do again. As I said in my blog post, this class really did not even scratch the surface of things you need to know to become an entrepreneur. I am disappointed, as a past entrepreneur myself, that it did not actually really teach any necessary entrepreneurial skills. Thats just my opinion though!

  3. Hi Isabella, great job on your blog post! I really enjoyed reading your final reflection, hearing your thoughts and learning about your experiences in this class. I definitely agree that this whole experience has tried my patience and been frustrating and testing, but it is rewarding to look back on the semester and realize that after months of toughing it out, it's finally over. It was certainly a crash course in perseverance. And I'm sure future students would appreciate the advice you gave to stay organized and determine priorities in advance. Thanks for sharing!

  4. I agree with you 100% Isabella. This class formed our entrepreneurial minds and forced us to think and act like business people. I think that classes like this are the most beneficial to students looking to make an impact in the world. View my post at http://mudine.blogspot.com/2016/04/final-reflection.html
