30A - Final Reflection
- would have to say that the most formative experience for me was when we had to think of a problem to solve. As a consumer we are so used to others creating products to solve problems, but this class is all about learning to be a problem solver and entrepreneur. I believe that this assignment kick started this mindset for me.
- I will remember my company the most. Knowing that it is something useful for me and many other people on the roadways will have me continuously thinking of it in the future.
- My most joyous experiences come from the interviews. They allowed me to connect with people that I would otherwise not met, so I found it to be fun and exciting to grow my network.
- I am most proud of myself for completing the elevator pitches. The might have seemed a little awkward or intimidating at first but now I feel confident and ready to pitch myself or my ideas to anyone.
- I do see myself as an entrepreneur in the future. Once you develop this mindset I think it is a hard thing to get rid of and now my brain is thinking abut over coming problems all the time.
- I would tell them to go into this course with and open mind and be willing to learn. There is sou much valuable information that is taught in this class that can help you both now and far beyond your time at UF.
I agree with what you said about the elevator pitches. They seemed super awkward and intimidating at first but as soon as we did them, I think we gained a lot of confidence in our abilities! The interviews also pushed us out of our comfort zone and got us to talk to people we never would have talked to otherwise. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHey Kyle. I agree that thinking of a problem in the world to solve was a very formative experience. In our current society, so many innovations and products have been created that I found it took a little time to think of something that hasn't already been done. There are new problems popping up every day, so there are always new innovations needed. I also agree with what you said about interviews. I enjoyed meeting new people and gaining connections that could help me in the future, and I think it provided me with valuable feedback and advice that helped me create my venture concept. I think most of us can agree we gained a lot of entrepreneurial skills in this course, and I would tell future students to approach this class ready to learn.
ReplyDeleteHey Kyle I thought when you described how problem solving was something beneficial and I agree with you because that is something that will help me in the future. Personally I thought that the interviews were the most important because it let other people give opinions on our products. Great Work!
