Looking back through all the posts was quite a journey. There were many experiences had along the way and a few stood out even more than others. I remember the first steps well in this course of recognizing opportunities around me. I felt this was a very formative experience as its the first step for any entrepreneur to make. I'm most proud of developing my elevator pitch because this was something I was initially not excited to do. Memorizing lines always seems like a daunting task but after a few attempts it comes much easier.
Mindset
After completing this course I feel I have gained a much better insight into the entrepreneurial mindset. I'm not sure I have a fully developed entrepreneurial mindset but I do feel I've made progress in capturing it. I know that through experience I can develop it further and this course has provided great experiences to do that. Through this course I have learned what makes an entrepreneur great is not only recognizing opportunity, but acting on it. Following this course, I am more willing to take risks and more apt to deal with the failures that follow.
To the Students who Follow
To get the most out of this course I would recommend getting out of your comfort zone. This may mean that you will hit a few roadblocks along the way but roadblocks will only make your resolve stronger. Overcoming these obstacles will help build confidence in your product as well as yourself and you can use these victories to help tackle anything that comes in the future.
Travis, I enjoyed reading your post as it was very well written and thought out. I think you are right to be proud of your elevator pitch because it is a great skill to have and to master. I liked your selected illustration also. It shows that people think success comes from only one try when it in fact comes from relentlessness and never giving up no matter the amount of times you fail. We only see successful people as lucky people that took one shot and made it when they really have been taking shots and failing countless times. Their resilience is the key to their success. Keep up the good work.
