Assignment 30A- Final Reflection

• What sticks out to you as the most formative experience?
• To me the most formative experience was making the bug list because it helped me realize how difficult it is to find an issue that people may have. I had a hard time figuring out issues that I had. It helped me to truly appreciate how hard it is to find a potential opportunity that we can use.
• The experience that you'll remember years later?
• The thing I will remember the most is when I had to turn my personal connections with my mothers coworkers into professional ones. This helped to open up many different options for my future endeavors and other possible connections through these connections.
• What was your most joyous experience?
• My most joyous experience was being able to conduct interviews and receive real feedback about an idea that I came up with. This makes me really happy because it makes me feel like I have helped people and they help me and themselves in return by helping me to polish up my ideas.
• What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing? 
• I am most proud of the elevator pitches that I did. I usually have issues with speaking of any kind and the fact that I was able to do those pitches just shows how far I was pushed out of my comfort zone. Leaving my comfort zone helped me to see things in a new perspective that helped me to grow.
• Do you see yourself as an entrepreneur?
•  I honestly don't believe that I am an entrepreneur right now. I do think that I am on the road to becoming one. I don't think that I can consider myself an entrepreneur until I have started and got a product up and running. I do believe that this class has started me on the path that I need to follow and develop.
• Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
• I do believe that I have moved closer to an entrepreneurial mindset. It has constantly made me think in different ways that have helped me to look for things I never would have looked for before taking this class.
• What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future?
• I would recommend to take each assignment as a new opportunity and go at it with everything you have. This is because each assignment gives you something new to develop and use on your journey to starting up your business.
• What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course?
• I would suggest to them to work ahead and make a solid plan on how you are going to complete the assignments. This will save you a lot of time and effort throughout the duration of the class as a whole.
• What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?
• I recommend that they have an open mind to each assignment even if it requires them to do some things that are outside of their comfort zone. Doing everything that is asked of you to the fullest extent helps to train your brain to recognize things that it normally wouldn't. This is the best advice I could give to an incoming student into this class.
