Final reflection

The most formative experience to me was working through the assignment on testing the hypothesis. I knew I wanted to come up with something that would give my daughter opportunities as she aged but I also wanted to provide a service that would help others as well. 

The most joyous experience was when I interviewed families who could see value in my solution and provided good quality feedback to enhance the vision. 

I am most proud of completing the assignments of this course.  I was not sure at the beginning if I would be able to come up with enough content for each blog post or to complete the assignments but I pushed through.

Many years from now I will remember how to observe opportunities and assess the problems to be solved.  I believe I have developed somewhat of an entrepreneur mindset by making these observations in my daily life.  I have been thinking of other needs and possibilities and working through the steps which I suppose would make me see myself as an entrepreneur. 

To future students taking this course I would suggest not looking at the abundance of assignments and feeling dread.  Each week has a theme with the lectures providing great detail on how to tap into the entrepreneurial mindset.  Take each week at a time and pick an opportunity they have a passion for that will assist them in performing the interviews and completing assignments.  Most important I would tell them to keep a calendar of assignments and to set reminders to submit the assignments in Canvas.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and find great value in each process.
