30A – Final Reflection

After reading through my posts from this semester, I realized how far I have come with my entrepreneurial skills.  I think the experience that stood out to me the most was reading the book How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams.  I feel like this book epitomizes the mindset that every entrepreneur should have because when it comes to being an entrepreneur you are going to fail many times until you perfect your product.  The failures are the most important part as they teach you a lot about yourself as well as what needs to be fixed with your product.  It is crucial that people learn how to learn from mistakes and never give up.  I think after going through the process of designing my opportunity I do see myself as an entrepreneur.  Even though what I did was the easy part of the process, I still believe that I completed every aspect as if I was going to complete this product.  If I had to recommend one thing to future students it would be to give their full effort on these assignments, because if they have enough drive to actually follow through with their product, this class is a very good foundation to start with.  In order to do their best and foster an entrepreneurial mindset, they should develop a product or service that they are passionate about.  I am passionate about football so I chose to develop a football-related service which made it easier for me to focus on the product when doing the assignments.
