1) Read through your posts from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread.
I found asking one of the people to reflect on me as a person to be a very awkward experience. I also remember asking or my parents to contribute last minute and they were very upset about having this sprung up on them. I felt so attacked, like there is no reason to be upset, who cares? It isn't like the professor is going to listen to what they say. But, I found mom's reflection to be very sweet. She recalled when I was very young and drew a picture of Snow White right out of memory and got all the colors in the right place. I remember mom's joy when I drew that picture, I thought she just really liked Snow White's dress. Personally, I as a toddler thought it was the ugliest dress out of all the Disney Princesses.
2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?
What sticks out to me the most is how Chris Pryor really rocks the look of having a haircut. I know he likes growing it out like that...but geez after I saw him in person I felt like he was missing something. That very suiting spiky hair thing.
3) At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
I feel more like an entrepreneur. But I feel like an entrepreneur is not much different from a normal person.
4) What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?
I recommend having fun. No need to stress or come up with the best ever plan. It is more important to have fun so nothing is so difficult.
Hi Mikalee, I laughed when I read your comment about Professor Pryor's hair haha that was so funny. I like that you said you feel more like an entrepreneur although entrepreneurs aren't much different than a normal person. I feel like this so true, because if someone has an idea and decides to do something with it then they're automatically an entrepreneur! It takes hard work and dedication but I truly do not think you need to be a certain type of person to be an entrepreneur. I also would recommend for incoming students of this class to have fun and not take it so seriously. This class definitely allows us to be more creative and have fun compared to my other classes which I really liked. I loved seeing you go through the process of thinking like an entrepreneur. Great job this semester!
ReplyDeleteHi Mikalee,
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your final reflection assignment. I agree with you that being an entrepreneur is not much different than a normal person, we are all given the same tools (for the most part) and have access to a lot of the same things. The difference in the entrepreneur is making more our of limited tools and resources. I always remember that if you want to have uncommon results you have to take uncommon actions.
Hey Mikalee,
ReplyDeleteLove your posts as usual and so funny. I think your story about the Snow White dress and how proud your mom was is such a lovely story. I am also sure that your dress was not that bad since you were a kid and you remembered the exact colors of the dress; that makes it good even when it's bad. I hope that you have a great life and continue to use the skills we learned in this class for your life.
Hello Mikalee,
ReplyDeleteLoved the sense of humor of your post (specially with the professor´s hair). I really enjoyed reading your post throughout the semester.
I am sure that you will be a very successful entrepreneur in the future, but it takes hard work and dedication, but you for sure have that under control.
Thank you for sharing all your posts and business idea!
