For this post, students have been asked to look back on
their semester in ENT 3003. I found this course to be very fun, and refreshing,
for someone in their last semester of undergrad. I will talk about some of the
highs, lows, and biggest takeaways that I had during this course below. Let’s
get started!
The most formative experience that
I will take from this course is learning that entrepreneurship is not really
about having a good idea, but rather identifying a problem. I think that
learning this distinction will shape the way that I view business for the rest
of my life. As a realist, the experience that has brought me the most joy is
finishing this semester. I am now done with Undergrad and am ready to join the
workforce! (at least for a few years until grad school)
At the beginning of the semester,
we were challenged to develop the entrepreneurial mindset. If I did not have it
then, I most certainly have it now. I am confident that I will work for myself
in some capacity starting at a fairly young age. I see myself as an entrepreneur
through and through.
For future students looking to take this course:
1.) get ahead 2.) stay ahead 3.) watch lectures. If you do those three things,
you will come away with a unique and valuable insight into the world of
entrepreneurship. Everything in the world is a business on some level, as an
entrepreneur it is your job to find and solve problems
Hi Michael! Congrats on finally being done with this class, and ALMOST being done with college! After reading your post, I really resonated with what you said about entrepreneurship simply being able to find a problem. I always thought entrepreneurship was all about the finished product, but this class has shown me that it' the exact opposite. It's all about the journey and experiences you make! I also agree with your advice to future students, working ahead really takes a lot of stress of this course. Good luck on all your future ventures!
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteI also found this course to be refreshing, as the work at your own pace concept coupled with the amount of research and primary data that was necessary to collect were things that I have not experienced during my time at UF. Also, I believe that it has helped me start to think in the entrepreneurial mindset that was described at the beginning, and from reading this post from you, I believe you have also achieved this goal. Thanks for sharing!
Michael, I enjoyed the one-line summary that you gave of entrepreneurship. It really sums up the way that this class affected my thinking. I also really resonate with the advice that you listed of staying ahead of the coursework. It is definitely a way to reduce the stress levels of one's weekly schedule.
