I think that the thing that sticks out to me the most about
all of these blog posts is the fact that I didn’t really end up liking my idea
that I started out with but I was kind of stuck with it. I think that if I
could go back I would have changed my business proposition to make it more of
an actual venture that had room for growth. I believe the most formative was
making contact with business professionals about my idea. I will remember the
elevator pitches because I hate doing those. I am most proud of sticking with
my idea even though I wasn’t passionate about it at all. It was kind of just
something I noticed was missing in airport security.
I now see myself as more of an entrepreneur in the fact that
I can analyze the world and see where an opportunity could arise from. I
believe that is the most valuable skill I have learned from this class. I
thought it was so cool to see the world from that different perspective. An
entrepreneur fixes the world’s problems and makes the standard of living better
for those around them.
I would recommend spending a lot of time deciding which
venture to take because you are going to be talking about it all semester. Get
the assignments done ahead of time to do the best you can. Going into this
class you need to have the creative mindset rather than the business mindset at
first.
Mary, I totally agree with you in the fact that I did not really like my idea. For one assignment, I thought it was alright but definitely could have been better. It sucked we had to go the whole class with it, but it was okay in the long run. I think your idea was great anyway. Your advice to the next people in the class is totally right because we both felt like we took the wrong venture. You can seriously do this class in no time if you really tried to knock out the assignments so waiting is not the move. I wish I did not do them at the last second. Great post Mary!
