30A - Final Reflection

1. After reading through all my posts, I truly re-experienced the highs and the lows of this course. I rewatched my elevator pitches and remember how I dreaded making them. I also remembered how I hated writing my venture concepts. To be honest, there really were not many highs in this whole blogging process.
2. I would say the elevator pitches stick out the most because it is something that we will all have to do at some point in our lives. In another class I was told everyone ends up in sales some way or another even without realizing. Elevator pitches would be especially useful for those case where you really need to sell anything, whether it be a product or yourself when you're applying to jobs. I really do not think I will remember any of these posts past the next year. This really is not as magical of a course as this post expects it to be. I really did not have any joy in any of these posts due to the unnecessary repetition. I am most proud about actually completing this course because it was a struggle to get through it.
3. I do not see myself anywhere closer to being an entrepreneur following this course. I never saw myself as an entrepreneur to begin with and never planned on being one. I did the assignments for the sake of the class but I do not actually plan on making the concepts proposed in this class a reality. I might have developed a slightly entrepreneurial mindset, if anything. I think because this was never my destined career choice to begin with I never was able to fully grasp and accept the mindset. 
4. Hopefully for students coming in the system might change. There is a lot of unnecessary repetition of assignments, which really benefit no one. I would say to those students always to do your cupcakes on a Sunday since the actual time is on noon on Mondays and can be really easy to miss. I would say do your assignments as early as possible in order for them not to cram on Friday. I cannot guarantee you will foster the mindset of an entrepreneur but for the sake of this course the best thing to do is literally pretend you want to be an entrepreneur so you are much more invested in your product. I found it was hard to write about my product because I was not that passionate about it. Create something you are very passionate about and the course will be much more easier.
