The most formative and learning experience was in the first week when I left all of the assignments for the last 3 hours on Friday. I was only able to complete one of them and have since managed to never miss one again. My most joyous and proudest experience I would have to say would be the interviews. Once I had learned we had to complete interviews I started to dread the assignment. However once I completed the first one, the rest interviews in the assignments sort of fell into place.
After completing the course I would definitely say I have started to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. However I still don't see myself as a full entrepreneur yet but i think that with time, practice and most important of all, effort I can definitely achieve that mindset. So I would say I have moved much closer since I had originally started with no entrepreneurial bone in my body.
First of all I would tell them that you take out of this class what you put into it. So doing your assignments with genuine effort will help in the long run. I would also recommend two things; 1) to have a planner with all the assignments planned out so there is very little chance of a screw-up, and 2) to view the assignment before you start to complete it so you can set appropriate time to complete said assignment as well as getting into that right mindset. And that mindset will not just come to you overnight but it will be a thing you have to foster, nurture and exercise.
I can definitely relate to the struggle you talked about in the first week. I also saved all of my work to do till the last second and I lost out on a lot of points. This is actually my second time taking this class because I let that happen too many times last semester. I agree with everything you said though, it is all about preparation. If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.
ReplyDeleteHey Manuel.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with what you mentioned about how this class has created interactions we otherwise wouldn't have. In a way, we've been following the same group of people throughout the entire summer and watching each other develop entrepreneurial mindsets, which I think has been pretty cool. I also loved your "formative experience" of leaving three assignments to do on Friday- I can definitely relate to that one the most. Overall, great job this semester and I hope you have a good one!
