W01 Reflection: Insightful introduction to entrepreneurship in BUS 110

 

W01 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal Entry! 
















This week has been an insightful introduction to entrepreneurship in BUS 110. The readings and videos really emphasized that entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business, but it's about a mindset that embraces innovation, problem-solving, and resilience. One of the key takeaways for me was the idea that entrepreneurs are often problem solvers who see opportunities where others might see challenges or risks. This concept resonated with me deeply because it reframes how I think about challenges, both in business and in life.

I particularly enjoyed learning about the traits of successful entrepreneurs. Their passion, persistence, and willingness to learn from failure are qualities that I aspire to develop. The videos highlighted how important it is to stay focused on long-term goals while remaining flexible and open to new opportunities as they arise. This aligns with the idea of having a growth mindset, which encourages us to view setbacks as learning opportunities rather than roadblocks.

Another aspect that stood out was the importance of ethics and integrity in entrepreneurship. Building a business is not just about making profits but also about creating value in a way that benefits customers, employees, and society as a whole. This notion was underscored in the readings, and it made me reflect on the type of entrepreneur I want to become — one who leads with honesty and contributes positively to the community.

Looking forward, I am excited to learn more about the practical steps involved in starting and running a business. I’m eager to explore topics such as business models, financing, and marketing strategies. I believe that these practical skills, combined with the entrepreneurial mindset we are developing, will help me lay a strong foundation for future ventures. This week has set the stage for a challenging but rewarding journey into entrepreneurship, and I am excited to see where it leads.

WK04 Reflection: Deconstructing Your Fears

  This week’s learning experience has been particularly insightful and transformative, especially through the lens of Life Plan - Deconstructing Your Fears . It provided me with a framework not just for identifying what I want to pursue in life, but also how to overcome the fears that stand in the way of those pursuits. In this reflection, I will delve into the key lessons I have learned, particularly from the readings, videos, and the exercise on deconstructing fears, and connect them to broader entrepreneurial and personal life concepts. Learning from "How Will You Measure Your Life" The W04 Study: "How Will You Measure Your Life" readings and videos were deeply thought-provoking, particularly because they pushed me to think beyond immediate career goals and material success. They forced me to evaluate the broader picture: What will I ultimately consider a successful life? This is a question that often goes unanswered as we get lost in day-to-day ambitions or the ...
