ENT3003
Final Reflection
There were
so many things that this class taught me. One of the biggest would be getting my
head outside of the box. I was very nervous to interview people about my idea.
I wanted them to only say good things and make me feel good about my project.
However, I learned that criticism is the best way to make something better. If
I only use my own ideas and don’t seek input from others, my business is likely
to fail.
I think that
these lessons from ENT3003 have helped me to develop my entrepreneurial mindset.
While I have not completely grasped it, I went from not really knowing what an
entrepreneur was to having a grasp on the concept.
To students
taking this course in the future, I would give two pieces of advice. First,
work ahead. It will give you flexibility with your projects, make them less
stressful, and allow you to play with them creatively. Second, don’t be afraid to
talk to strangers. UF students are usually really friendly and interested in
what you have to say.
I am
thankful for the experiences and skills that I have acquired by working hard at
this class.
I was very nervous interviewing people as well. It's not something you would usually do but with practice over and over again I wasn't so afraid with interviewing people. I remember before this class I had a chance to talk to an entrepreneur, he gave me good advice and said that your friend will praise you but that's only because they are your friends. You have to ask strangers for their opinions because they don't care how you feel. They are not obligated to your feelings.

Hey!
ReplyDeleteI was commenting on another student's post about this issue! Talking to people is different than talking to them about your idea. It is like you are sharing your child with them! I always hoped for genuine criticism. I only got positive feedback, so I suspect that if I do the sam einterviews in the future, but pretend the idea isn't mine, then people may be unbiased and I can get true feedback. It wouldn't be helpful to have people tell me they love my idea just to not hurt my feelings. Regardless, I think my idea is good, but there are always "haters" so I want to hear what they have to say. Best of luck on your venture!

What's up! I am pretty sure that we are all glad with all the knowledge and lessons we have obtained through this course. I felt the same way with people in the beginning, not because I was nervous but because I just found it weird asking people those types of questions. All in all, everyone has learned something valuable in the duration of the class and I am glad you did too! Go check my blog out to see what I learned. http://ufrob.blogspot.com/2016/04/final-reflection.html
