I can't believe that we
have made it to the end of the semester. I was not sure how this class would
go, but I am happy to say that I have learned quite a bit. I found that this
class really helped me to figure myself out. Although, I am still working on
it, this class gave me some tools to use to help me find it out.
I came into this class
thinking that I would be a terrible entrepreneur. I think that this class
showed me that really any one can do it! I liked reading the book the
"Hero's Journey." This book really gave me more confidence that I
could start a business if I chose to do so. This book also taught me how to
"find" myself. I really enjoyed the activities of learning how
to figure out what my natural talents are.
This week, I really
enjoyed the video with Stan Christensen. He talked about avoiding the wrong
job. His first point talks about doing things because its what you think people
want you to do. Although he was talking about it in a slightly different way,
it made me think about why I do some of the things I do. Sometimes, often
times, I do things because its what other people think I should do. I realized,
I need to stop letting others dictate what I do. I can of course, take their
suggestions, but I need to find something that I am passionate about (just as
Stan had said). This really helped me kind of refocus my attention. This
realization also made me think back to the “Hero’s Journey” and looking at
myself more in depth to find what it is that I should do.
I really have enjoyed
learning so much from this class. It really was not so much an entrepreneurship
class for me but more of a “find myself” class. I have appreciated the time
that it has given me to reflect and ponder what it is that I really want to do
in life.
