Looking at all my posts for this course throughout the semester made me realize just how far I’ve come--it seems as though the first “bug list” assignment was ages ago. I didn’t quite realize just how much training, reflecting and learning we did for this class until I took a look at the dozens of blog posts dedicated to ENT3003. Going back to that bug list assignment, I’d definitely peg it as one of the lows for the class only because it was one of the first assignments and I remember spending so much time racking my brain for a good list. I ended up talking to all my family members to get their opinions, and they were just as stuck as me. Looking back, that assignment was crucial in developing the entrepreneurial mindset because it helped target out problems that we face daily but don’t necessarily step up to fix. One of my favorite moments this semester was interviewing 3 friends who were closest to me and hearing their take on my strengths and weaknesses. Although we have really close relationships, this is one of the topics that we don’t really talk about in person so it was really cool and eye-opening to hear what they had to say about me.
The most formative experience in my opinion would be networking and talking with strangers to build my brand. It definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone, even if it was virtual, but it was an invaluable experience for my future career building. This same assignment would also fall into my category of the experience I’m most proud of accomplishing.
Standing at the end of the semester, I see myself as more of an entrepreneur than I ever have before. I’ve never put this much thought and effort into developing a business concept, and it was such an invigorating experience. The entrepreneurial mindset has definitely taken its place in me throughout this whole semester, and I now find myself subconsciously analyzing anything that has to do with my flesh-toned mask business wherever I go.
To the future students of ENT3003, I would say to find what makes you uncomfortable and pursue. If there’s a problem, pressing issue or injustice that nags at you personally, use this platform to develop an idea that will solve that. Nothing replaces passion, so if there’s a matter truly near and dear to your heart, you’d do well following after that. In order to perform best in this course, do 1 assignment a day. It may not seem like a like, but the weekly activities add up and you definitely want to make sure you have sufficient time to do each one. I found that this method works the best for me personally, so grab your agenda and lay everything out accordingly! You want to start being organized here in the classroom so that the same attitudes will trickle into your work life and personal life.
Hi Jung! I think it is so interesting that you and myself along with the rest of the students taking this class have identified yourself as becoming more of an entrepreneur. I also enjoyed how you implemented graphics throughout this post. I feel like it draws attention to the points you are making throughout the post.
ReplyDeleteJung,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a blast reading all of your posts throughout the semester! I feel like every week, I got to learn something new and interesting through your post! Being able to look back at all of the assignments that we did in the class is a great insight of what we have learned from Bug List to now.
Hi Jung, I feel like we all have developed more skills as an entrepreneur through this course and have had a great time experiencing it with this group. Looking back at everything we've accomplished was fun and I feel like we all have some sort of entrepreneurial mindset now.
