What sticks out to you as your most formative experience?
I think my most formative experience was when I interviewed Collin from New Scooters 4 Less. I found out some really helpful information about not only how to be a better entrepreneur, but how to make a comeback from failure as well. He gave me some great insight and I think that because I was able to hear first hand how the whole entrepreneurial process works, it opened up my mind to a lot of possibilities.
Do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to this mindset?
I don't really see myself as an entrepreneur right now, but I am definitely a little closer. Even though I do not want to be an entrepreneur in terms of my career goals, I can still apply a lot of these skills to becoming an entrepreneur for myself. I know how to sell myself because through this class, I was able to understand my skills and strengths a little better.
What is the recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future?
My advice to students wanting to venture down this path would be to try and be true to yourself and what you believe in. It's really easy to get caught up in money or failure, and we often forget our main mission, which is to contribute to society in some way, whether it be big or small. Don't lose sight of that mission and I promise you'll be successful in pretty much any venture you decide on. In terms of this course, make a schedule! It is really easy to fall behind on things if you're not organized because there are a lot of assignments.
