30A – Final Reflection

I have really enjoyed this class. Throughout it looking back my favorite part was developing the idea. Although this may have been the hardest to others I found that it was nice to use creativeness within a course. As many courses don't require creativity, more logic. The troublesome parts for me were constantly making changes and edits to the idea I had originally came up with. Having an entrepreneurial spirit already, this class helped be clearly identify all of the stages of bringing an idea to a reality. By going through and getting social feedback and clearly clarifying our idea with others it has helped shape how I formulate other ideas I come up with in the future. One thing I will remember is the interviews and pitch that I had to come up with.While interviewing I got to really understand how others minds work when looking at an idea and how they come to a conclusion of if they will use it. As well creating the elevator pitch was super enjoyable as I felt I was on an episode of Shark Tank. This put me into the shoes of many entrepreneurs who pitch their ideas to investors whether it be on Live Television or a Board room. One word of advice I would give to students incoming would be to have fun with the course. Start off with an idea that you actually enjoy because it will make the entire process much more fun. If you create an idea that you aren't passionate about you may find yourself bothered by the assignment. This also holds true to creating a business in real life. If you create a business in a sector you are not truly passionate about you will only be setting yourself up for inevitable failure.
