The most formative experience that I have looking back on past assignments is when I went to interview people. I have been shy for a lot of my life, and these assignments made me go out my comfort zone to accomplish something. What I found out was that people were more friendly than I thought. Lots of people that I interviewed were actually really interested in what I was doing, and would ask questions about the product that I had in mind to create. I would also consider this the most joyous experiences, as well as one in which I am proud of myself. I found that when I have a greater end goal in mind, it becomes easier to overcome things that I fear such as reaching out to others.
Entrepreneurial Mindset
I have definitely come closer to what I believe what a true entrepreneur is. Each person has their own standard of what an entrepreneur is, as well as a shared belief of what was taught in class. In that sense, I have definitely progressed since the beginning of the semester. I have become a better problem solver, have instilled more belief within myself, and have been able to make better connections with others. However, this entrepreneurial mindset I believe is a lifelong journey, and I have just begun! This is going to be exciting as each day has its own opportunities and surprises.
Recommendation
The one recommendation that I would give to students who are on this path in the future is to grow themselves before they try to grow anything else. This would include reading self-help books, listening to motivational audios, and creating a set of daily habits that will lead to success.
To perform best in this course, I would recommend checking out assignments early in the week, as some take more preparation than others. I would also recommend to learn to be uncomfortable outside of their comfort zone, as there will be times when this is necessary. No need to fear, every successful entrepreneur has mastered this. They have become comfortable being uncomfortable.
