30A – Final Reflection

I feel writing out the entire Venture Concept was the most formative experience and what I am most proud of accomplishing. It is easy to have rough ideas about an opportunity, but putting it down in writing makes it tangible and seems attainable. It is also something that I can easily forward along to colleagues and mentors so they can provide feedback on the holistic opportunity. I really enjoyed each Elevator Pitch and will certainly remember them years later, and hopefully, use them in real life soon.

I certainly feel that I have developed my entrepreneurial mindset and am more of an entrepreneur in my current job. Just two weeks ago, I capitalized on an opportunity I saw at work, put together a presentation, and was able to drive a behavior change in our business. I may not have been looking for opportunities in my everyday job if it wasn't for this class.

I would honestly recommend future students to truly be openminded to growing their entrepreneurial mindset. Not everyone will venture out on their own and be a traditional entrepreneur, but the skills developed in this class can help you be more of an entrepreneur with your current job, which can lead to potential recognition and promotion. The assignments are not hard and they are designed to truly teach you, so don't mail them in!
