1. This course has taught me a lot about myself. I constantly see myself thinking about new things that bother me, and other business ideas that could arise. The exercises made me think about the different things that I could make, the logistical problems about them, and how I could solve it with other business decisions. This course has helped me think more strategically about life itself, and that you can turn even the most insignificant things into a business. We’ve covered a lot of things about how to be an entrepreneur, and that everyone could be one if they are passionate about something. Before this course I never thought I wanted to start a business, but after combining my love for dogs and the need to bring my puppy everywhere, I have thought about different business ideas advocating for the inclusivity of pets. I have kept a pattern of when I do my work to make sure I don’t forget any assignments.
2. This fall, I started classes in the MSF program. I’m not great at math or accounting, and all of the masters classes are heavily quantitative and focus on advanced accounting principles. Just last week, I had three exams - two I took on Monday, and one Tuesday morning. It was difficult to find the time and motivation to get through all of them, and I wanted to give up. However, I realized that I can’t do that if I want to have a successful career. I feel like I have developed a more tenacious attitude than ever before. My course-load this semester has greatly contributed to this.
3. My three tips would be: 1. find a passion, and make a goal live your passion. 2. Find a supportive group of people that can push you along the way. 3. Surround yourself with other tenacious people, so they can rub off on you.
Mount Everest!
Good post, Melissa. I agree that this class makes you think about turning normal needs into entire businesses. The better you are at determining a need the more opportunities you can unlock. Improving your idea is a major part of staying relevant. Living your passion coupled with the ability to determine needs well can leave you with a million dollar business!
