1)
This
class as been a completely different experience for me with lots of highs and
lows. Being able to come up with new ideas, sharing my idea and being able to
interact with people and getting their feedback for my product on the spot was a
bit scary and exciting at the same time because I never knew what to expect.
Another fun part was reading the business proposals of other students and being
able to relate to their problems. Some of the ideas I read were definitely mind
blowing and if they were to act upon and implemented in the near future, they could
be a game changer in the business world. For me the lows were definitely
keeping up with the assignments during exam time because it became quite
stressful considering the lengthiness of each assignment but overall, it taught
me how to manage time effectively.
2)
The
most formative assignment was mapping out our entire business proposal and see
it come to plan. While the entire process was long and tedious, it was definitely
worth it in the end because it allowed us to see how common and relatable the
problem was for so many people during the interview process. This class allowed
us to think outside the box and on our feet.
3)
I
do not consider myself as an entrepreneur just yet, because there’s still so
much I have to see and learn, and I don’t have the skills for it just yet, but I
might be closer to be an entrepreneur. I now understand the entire planning and
preparation and thinking each business venture requires and I hope to obtain
all these skills one day.
4)
One
recommendation I can give to students is think about the problems you might
face on a daily basis no matter how silly it may sound and then start
considering if other people are facing the same problem as well or not and you
can do that by talking to your close friend and family circle. Doing so you are
trying to identify the unmet need and after that you will be able to plan out
your own business proposal. Also never give up on your dream and idea and you
should start working on your communication skills at an early age because in
orer to start your own business, interviewing people will be really important as
it will help you gain insight. Apart from that this class is fun and if you
work on your idea from day one you might come out as an entrepreneur after 5 months.
Hi Maha,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your summary of the class and liked what you had to say. It was fun reading other people's business proposals and seeing how they wanted to change the world for the better. It is truly important to see how other people think and how they believe they can become successful entrepreneurs in the near future.
