Going through ENT3003, I will
always appreciate the demand for effort that the class required. Gaining
interviews, calling industry professionals, and even sitting down to think of
who fits in my market will be tools that I am grateful for learning. I found
that succeeding in a cold call or receiving a response from someone that seemed
unlikely was one of the most fulfilling aspects and some of my proudest moments
in the class.
As I approach the end of the semester, I
believe that I have gained a sense of an entrepreneurial mindset. I think more
critically of decisions I make and I enjoy talking to people more to pick their
minds of ideas and knowledge that I do not possess. I do not exactly see myself
as an entrepreneur just yet, but I do see myself as more of an enthusiast. I am
more enthusiastic in working towards my entrepreneurial goals for the future
and I admire smaller business and groundwork schemes for their effort!
For students
looking forward to becoming an entrepreneur I would just encourage them to not
give up when someone says no! People are not used to the word no as it often
has the connotation of failure or rejection. If you can push through a no, then
you will realize that success is often right behind it!
This class was definitely more than what I expected in terms of workload, but I wouldn't have learned as much had it been any other way. I especially liked how interactive the class was, and the assignment structure made it hard to not put in the effort. I appreciate your feedback you gave me throughout the semester on my ideas, and I enjoyed reading your posts as well. I wish you success on the rest of your studies and career!

ReplyDeleteI agree that the structure of this class really added value to the experiences we went through as entrepreneurs and tried to create our own businesses. And I definitely think what we've learned will help us on whatever path we end up following. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me this semester and good luck with the rest of your time here at UF!
