Final Reflection-Dillon Dunn

1) Read through your blog from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread.

 I think that my high moments are actually my low moments as well! My high moments would have to be when we were assigned to interview random people about our business idea. I was very scared to approach anyone, but once I approached the person it was easy. For one of the interview assignments (I think the 2nd one) I actually went out to interview people but I was to nervous to approach anyone so I ended up not even doing the assignment!

2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?

 The assignment that sticks out the most would have to be the assignment I talked about before. (Interviews) Those interviews not only changed my outlook on my business idea but it actually helped me as a person break out of my social shell!
 
3) At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. And we repeated the mantra -- I am an entrepreneur. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?

 I do see myself having the entrepreneurial mindset! Before I thought that it was silly and that my outlook wouldn't change, but I was proved wrong. I look at every inconvenience as an opportunity to develop a product or business!

4) What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?

 I would say approach the class without thinking you know what entrepreneurship is. Keep an open mind! If you are not open minded this class will not benefit you and you will not succeed in the class.
