Final Reflection

The most formative experience for me was the two short interviews I had with an entrepreneur, my cousin Rob. He is so knowledgeable and successful in his entrepreneurial ventures and he had nothing but great advice to offer me. I believe this advice is definitely the most memorable experience for me. I will keep it with me as I move my career into the business world. Rob really offered me some invaluable advice. I honestly enjoyed the interviews for my venture. Being able to get outside opinions really shaped the direction of my product development. I believe strongly that potential customers can offer extremely valuable feedback. I believe my most proud achievement in this course is how much I have developed, researched, and worked on my entrepreneurial venture, Sports 4 U. I really enjoyed working on it and I feel I have made astounding progress on both the main idea and specifics.

I believe the many different and unique experiences has shaped me into a developing entrepreneur. I particularly enjoyed the Harvard Business Review articles as they opened my mind to new ideas, markets, and philosophies. I would surely include articles like that for future classes. Overall I really enjoyed developing my entrepreneurship through all the experiences we had, both studying the book, and getting out into the field. I have surely moved to developing an entrepreneurial mindset.

First, my one recommendation for future students is this, manage your time. This class is all about time management, but so is entrepreneurship. It is all about doing the right things at the right time and managing yourself. Get the assignments done on a timely basis and the class flows great! To perform best in this course is simple. You get out of this class what you put in. The more effort the better. The more time you spending developing your posts and truly reflecting on readings or experiences, the better entrepreneur you will be at the end of the semester.

  1. Hi Austin, great post! I agree that potential customers offer valuable feedback - potentially the most valuable feedback as they are the ones that could be buying your product in the future! My advice for future students was very similar: making sure to be aware of how much effort an assignment will require so there is enough time to complete it.

  2. Hi Austin! I also considered the interviews to be some of the most valuable assignments we completed. I believe they allowed us to take what we learned in the class and apply it and get not only real feedback, but real advice from someone who has been in our position. Great post!
