Adios!


One.
I am not one for procrastinating, generally.  However, there were several times during the semester that I found myself in a rush to finish and assignment.  Most of the assignments were fun to complete and I did learn something about myself along the way.

Two.
My most formative experience would have to be the second reading reflection.  I learned information that is directly applicable to my everyday habits.  My experience I will remember most would be the reading reflections in general.  I forgot how much I liked to read and completing the assignments reminded of just that.  For the joyous experience, I would have to say the “secret sauce” assignment.  I learned some positive things about my character and behavior from the people that know me best.  I am most proud of the “elevator pitches”.  I never realized how positive a pitch can be even in my line of work.  After receiving feedback and conducting some practice, I have a solid foundation to build from in the future.

Three.
In some respects, I can see myself as an entrepreneur.  I know that I have discussed a business concept and creation with some friends of mine.  I have even fished around for some investors.  But I have yet to take the plunge mainly due to my risk aversion.  From the course, I did develop a greater understanding how to move in the entrepreneurial direction or mindset.

Four.
My recommendation would be, read.  Find something that you are passionate about or interested in and determine what is out there.  Try to learn from others who have succeeded or failed even.  For the best course performance, you need to be engaged and time management skills would help as well.  To foster the mindset, I would reach out to the other entrepreneurs.  Find someone to mentor you.

  1. Dan, I enjoyed reading your reflection because you have been so consistent in completing your assignments. I can remember all your pitches and other assignments because of the peer reviews. It's like I watched you learn along side me. It's nice to know that someone who doesn't even consider themselves a procrastinator can still get a little last minute with things. I think its a good thing to be a little adverse to risk, but it's all about balance! Like a portfolio... mix it up, and it can pay off... just don't put all your eggs in the risky baskets. Have a good life, Dan!!

  2. Hey Dan, I too felt that during the semester I waited until last second to work on my assignments. Those assignments often went uncompleted. I learned throughout the semester how to better manage my time, what about you? I remember seeing your elevator pitches. You have a very good speaking voice and your confidence in front of the camera shows.
