30A – Final Reflection

This course was overall a joy to experience, it was more unorthodox than most in the way it was designed and the tasks in its assignments were fun and gratifying once I completed them. In my opinion, the assignment, 16A - What's your secret sauce, was the most enjoyable because I was able to ask my closest friends what they genuinely thought about me. It was also informative because I had to identify what I thought were my most valuable skills and traits and I also found out other people's opinions of mine. I am most proud of myself for completing all the assignments that required me asking other people about the unmet need that inspired my venture concept because I had to approach strangers and hold lengthy conversations to get enough information to use.

I do not completely see myself as an entrepreneur, but I can at least admit that I have taken the first steps into becoming one. One experience that helped a lot in this process is the reading list assignments. I was able to read books and discuss their content to my peer group about the entrepreneurial skills and tricks I learned about. 

One recommendation I would tell future students of this course is to pick an unmet need that they would enjoy solving. I picked out mine because it was related to a topic I love, soccer, and on top of that, I actually shared the unmet need with a lot of people. It will make the course more personal, and should - in theory - make you more curious and willing to find a solution for it. In this course, you must stay on top of the lectures, read the assignments in advance, do not procrastinate them and try to get work done ahead of time, and lastly, enjoy it as I have.
