30A – Final Reflection

1) One of the best moments of this semester was being able to interview my friends about my business concept and being able to learn how to network through all of these interviews as well. I also really enjoyed finding a specific market and learning how to use my own market as an advantage to reach others like me through business ventures. One of my low moments were probably my elevator pitches. I have pretty bad social anxiety, even if I am alone talking to a camera, and it was a little hard doing the elevator pitches for this class.

2) One of the most formative experiences was being able to not only learn how to network, and succeed at networking, but being able to sit down and read about things such as mindfulness. I really enjoyed that read and thought it was good for my growth as a person.

3) From the beginning semester, I do believe that I have changed a lot as a person, and not only because of this class. However, regarding my entrepreneur skills, I do also know that I have a lot to learn and do not consider myself one yet. I definitely believe that I have moved closer to becoming an entrepreneur and will keep working on myself and my skills in the future.

4) If I were talking to someone wanting to pursue entrepreneurship in the future, I would tell them to work on themselves and their confidence. Entrepreneurship involves selling yourself to consumers, and in order to do that you need confidence within yourself so that people trust that you're telling them the truth. I would also highly recommend those individuals to take this class if they want to learn and grow as an entrepreneur.
