30A – Final Reflection


1. From the first assignment, the bu lists, we have learned so much. The bug list was an excellent assignment to start the course. I allowed me to get into the headspace as a business person. To recognize the flaws or ‘bugs’ faulty in the world and look to create something that could affect it positively. And that’s what we learned throughout this course. Finding an opportunity and acting on it, that is what an entrepreneur is.

2. What sticks out to me the most is the idea that you planted is that the fact that we all just want money. It is essential to do what we need to do now to make money and focus on the bigger picture later. What I’m most proud of is the way I developed a full business idea and have the experience to know the steps of creating a product/service.
3. I do now see myself more as an entrepreneur, and I feel that I have grown the entrepreneur mindset.
4. One recommendation I would make to students is to be open-minded through this course and really learn from each assignment because each one has a hidden lesson within them. You learn and grow experience through each assignment to have a better head as an entrepreneur. Also, for this course, stay organized!

    Hey Savannah, It's the final post and I just wanted to thank you for getting all your work done in this class first. Everyone in my group was also slow in doing their work which as you know makes it difficult to do peer reviews. I wish you all the best in the rest of the semester and all your future endeavors . Good luck!

    Hey Savannah,

    I agree with you in that the bug list was a great way to get started within the class. It gave all of us a chance to better understand ourselves, and in a way finding the roots to issues we have in our everyday lives. This is definitely the beginning in gaining an entrepreneurial mindset, the ultimate goal of this class.

    Your post is very well organized and has some very good points within it. I also mentioned in my tip to future students to be open minded because it really helps with having the entrepreneurial mindset by the end of the class. You had some very good points from the semester that I myself even forgot about. You did a great job on this post!!

    Hi Savannah,
    I like how you mentioned the bug list assignment, I also think that it helped me develop a more critical eye to meet the needs of my community. You also mentioned that securing money is important for entrepreneurs, as we learned in class that seasoned entrepreneurs focus on the money rather than just lofty ideas. Organization is essential for this class as well. Thanks for sharing!

    Savannah,
    I completely forgot about the bug list assignment, it feels so long ago! I agree with the value it brought though. I also agree with the importance of being open-minded and organized in this class. I think those are two traits which are certainly important in life as well. Good job!

    Hi Savannah,
    I really enjoyed reading your final reflection of ENT3003. I agree that the bug list was a great way to start the course and to get you thinking. I agree that it was a great accomplishment in this class, that we were able to come up with a full business idea and marketing plan for that product which are skills we will need in the future.

    Hi Savannah! I actually completely forgot about the bug list. It feels like so long ago when we were doing that assignment. Your claim that many businesses simply need money couldn’t be more true. That’s why becoming a successful entrepreneur and following on the right guidelines is so important for the survival of your business. After taking this course, I too am in the entrepreneurship mindset.

    I really enjoyed the way your discussion board is setup for this last assignment, I agree that all the assignments played nice together and really built a big picture for this course that I Really enjoyed. Although it might have been tedious to make these post every week I think they were necessary in allowing us to use problem solving skills in real life scenarios. Overall great post, keep up the good work in your future endeavors.

26A – Celebrating Failure

A time this past semester that I failed was when I was doing laundry. And I know what your thinking, but your wrong, I know how to do my own laundry. Unfortunately, I just made the wrong decision on my part. I had a shirt that was relatively old and pink. I was doing a whitewash, and I thought, 'ya know I don't think it will run; its been in the wash too many times to do that.' But thirty minutes later I found out I was wrong and it bled all my other clothes in the wash with it. From this experience, I learned from it, and what I learned was to don't take a chance just to do another load. And from this story, I hope you all learn from my mistake. Failure is critical in life. From failure, you learn; you learn from your mistakes and more about yourself. I handle failure pretty well. I have been through a lot in my life where I have learned the hard way that failure is okay and what makes you a better person is to take on that failure and do better from it. This class has...

28A – Your Exit Strategy

1. I intend to grow my business to all that it is worth, and if an opportunity comes for me to sell, then, of course, I will take that opportunity, but my main goal would be to run this business to the end. My existing strategy will be when I retire and hopefully pass on the business through my family. 2. I choose this to be my exit strategy because I want to grow and run the business to my full potential and then pass it on through my family to keep it in the family name. 3. I think this decision relates to my human capital and personal goals. I personally would like to take the business that I grew from the ground up as far as I could and, in the end, look at my progress. From there, my family can do what they think there’s exit strategy is best for this. What I mean by this is if they decide to sell it or grow it till they retire also. It has influenced my growth intentions and how I plan to use my resources.
