Final Reflection

     I know everybody in this class has been through a lot and gained a lot of experience dealing with adversity. I personally think that I went through the most during the first month. I had to understand entrepreneurship, consumers, my venture idea, and time management all at once. I had a tough time getting in the rhythm of things with how the class was functioning. I missed a lot of assignments early on and had some trouble doing the early venture-related research required. I was very proud of my idea, though, once I got it all set up and thought out. I am very happy with the experience I gained in going out and having to do business-y things for this class, and it really did help me gain an entrepreneur's mindset.

     I never really considered entrepreneurship as a mindset until after this class. I learned that the definition is truly broad and allows for a lot of contextualization. I have learned a lot and would definitely consider myself much more of an entrepreneur than before. I find myself thinking critically about every situation with the goal of finding the core problem and then any possible solutions.
      I would recommend that people in this class look ahead and make a legitimate plan. Understanding each week before it happens is the key to success. You need to understand it and then set up time for each part because sometimes it feels like work magically appears and slaps you in the face. In order to better understand the entrepreneurial mindset, you need to understand the future problems and plan for all kinds of eventualities to be successful, and it is also important to learn how to solve problems on the fly. That is what this course does for you, it gives you the opportunity to strengthen yourself in those areas. It isn't hard, it simply requires dedication.
