Final Reflection

1) Read through posts

2) I think the most formative experience I learned from this class was developing and delivering a good elevator speech. Sometimes it is hard to sell something to people that know nothing about it, but this class helped me come up with a lot of good strategies to become great at it. I am not sure if there is anything specifically I will remember years later, but I will always remember this class. I am most proud of myself for completing all of the tasks. At the start of the semester I did not think I could put together a business plan like this, but now I have all the strategies to do so myself.

3) I think I do have more of an entrepreneurial mindset now after this class. Prior to the class I never really thought about ways to fix things when I got into a situation that did not have an answer. Now I always think about ways I can improve products if they do not work as efficiently as they could and other entrepreneurial ideas like that.

4) If I could give one piece of advice to students who are taking this class I would tell them to get all their work done ahead of time. Procrastinating in this class is not a good idea because you will miss a deadline at some point. As long as you embrace the entrepreneurial mindset and keep an open mind about what this class has to offer you, then you will succeed in ENT 3003.

Venture Concept #2

1)  I believe there is a very good opportunity in the personal assistant field for me to create a company and maximize the opportunity. My target market will consist of private business owners of any age. I believe there is a need for a fast and easy way to match up college students that would work as personal assistants in select areas. An application or website that will allow you to search for a personal assistant in any specific field that the consumer needs. I want people who are in need of a personal assistant to utilize our college students who will be getting paid minimum wage for their services, while also earning significant experience in a specific field that they are hoping to one day be a part of. This will almost be like a part time internship. This will be an new innovative way to interact with people in your specific field as well. It will be like LinkedIn but we will aim to get the assistants our in their fields. I believe customers will use our product over other personal assistant finder sites because ours will be utilizing college students. Not only are our consumers getting the help they need in whatever field they work in, they are also helping young students earn significant field experience and help mold them into the future workforce.

2)  I received all positive feedback from my original Venture Concept post. All of the students who commented on my original post believed that it was great the way it was and did not tell me to change anything about my post. I think all of the feedback that I got helped me realize that I need to organize my thoughts a little better. I have always been the type of person who gets a lot of ideas all at once and then have to get them all out of my mind at the same time.

3) Based on the feedback I received, I did not change much about my Venture Concept post. The only advice I received was to organize my post a little better because it was a little off chronologically. In my most recent post i separated all three parts in a more organized manner that fits better for a venture concept idea.
