30A - Final Reflection

1. It was nice to be able to go to one consolidated blog to see all the work I have done this semester. It was definitely a lot of work but it didn't seem too bad doing a little bit every week.

2. My most formative experience was taking the time towards the end of the semester for Venture Concept 1. I was able to take all of the work this semester and actually put together a mini business plan. I think I had a lot of good ideas such as licensing overseas, partnering with a brand manufacturer and creating a hand sunshade for $50. My most joyous occasion was interviewing a stranger in the industry and getting really good feedback. I am most proud of myself for sticking with it and working to develop the idea.

3. I would love to say I am an entrepreneur but without any experience I am probably just moving towards an entrepreneurial mindset. I would love to continue thinking of ways to innovate and coming up with ideas. This semester I have noticed myself thinking of different ideas and thinking if they would be viable ideas. These assignments allow you to shoot ideas down that don't work early or continue to think of innovations.

4. I would recommend students to spend the first part of the class really thinking about things they are passionate about and make a list of those. Then think of your favorite and least favorite things about those passions and try to come up with how you could improve. This will allow you to perform your best because you will care about the idea. Also, set alarms on Monday's and Friday's to remember assignments. To foster the right mindset always be thinking about ideas to improve your daily life and talk to friends.



I am passionate about flying airplanes and my product revolved around cars so maybe there will be a flying car in the future!
