Final Reflection

1. This has been a semester full of assignments in ENT3003. Some taught me quite a bit about Entrepreneurship and some left me a little confused. The assignment that taught me a lot about myself and my idea was the Venture Concept No. 1. I am developing a travel app and have done a lot of research to validate whether or not it's needed. When I posted the concept, everyone's comments blew me away with how much they loved my idea and how it was the best one they've seen all semester. For someone that's spent a lot of time on this project, it made me feel very good.

The assignment where we had to give away 5 one dollar bills left me a little confused. I am still not completely sure what that had to do with being an entrepreneur, but at least I can sleep at night knowing there are 5 college students with my money.

2. My formative experience - speaking with strangers about my idea and validating whether or not it was going to be used by the general public. I was very nervous about sharing my idea and talking to strangers, however, I realized that no one is going to take your idea. If anything, they are excited for you and will help spread the word when it's an actually thing.

3. I definitely see myself moving closer to the entrepreneurial mindset.

4. Stay ahead of your work! There are only 100 points in this course and skipping 5 assignments, which may not seem like a lot can kill any chance of getting the A you want. There was a couple times where I fell behind and it stressed me out quite a bit.

The picture I leave you with is the company I follow most closely - AirBnB. They are continuously innovating and design
minded. I use their business structure to model my own after. If you're searching for an entrepreneur to follow, please check out Brian Chesky, the CEO of AirBnB.
