After reading through all of my previous posts, I'd say there have been several experiences that stick out to me. My elevator pitch was something that really took a lot for me to get started. Even though I had taken a public speaking class already beforehand, it was difficult for me to be able to record myself trying to sell my idea. It allowed me to experience how I sound to others by recording myself, and analyze me own posture as well.
I'll definitely remember going through the "Free Money" exercise, simply because of how surprised I was by how many people declined my offer. Even seeing just how many people immediately walked away after seeing a camera pointed at them was pretty shocking. It made me wonder what makes people so afraid of being recorded in a seemingly innocent situation.
I can say at this point, that I see myself as more of an entrepreneur than I was before. I don't think I'm the full package yet however, there are still a few concepts of entrepreneurship that I don't feel comfortable with.
As far as advice for suture ENT3003 students, they really need to be open minded about how to complete the assignments and posts for the course. Some things will definitely require more effort than others, and prioritizing these assignments is a huge part of he class.
Cheyenne,
ReplyDeleteLooking back on this previous semester, I agree with you that we've definitely grown as entrepreneurs. On the other hand obviously, there is a lot of room for growth for all of us as this just gave us a solid baseline for the field of entrepreneurship. Re-reading my blog was actually fun looking at all the assignments we did, and some definitely stuck out. Although we identified different assignments, we agreed that some of them were uncomfortable and put us in situations we've never been in. The "Free Money" exercise is definitely an assignment I'll remember too! If I also gave advice to future students, I agree by saying that they need to be open minded because then you will put full effort and in turn yield the best results.

Love the picture in this blog post. I thought your post was quality. Seems like you put a lot of work into this post and all the others you've done. I thought the free money was a dumb assignment but then again I never watched a lecture so I don't know what its purpose was.
