26A – Celebrating Failure


I believe everyone experiences their own forms of failures even if they don’t show it. I have failed a lot in my life but have learned from my failures and have become a better person because of it. This semester I was taking a lot of classes (17 credits), plus I worked and was involved in student organizations a lot. I ended up not doing so hot in my business finance course and must drop it to take it during the summer. The main thing I learned from this semester is too not put too much onto your plate. It is better to do a good job on smaller tasks than it is to do a bad job on bigger tasks. I must learn to manage my time better and realize when I am doing too much. I am the type of person who accepts challenges, but sometimes you must think before you accept it and make sure you can handle it.

    Nick,

    I think that your mindset is generally correct in the short run. But in the long run it is a negative way to think. I believe that baby steps are important. You must learn how to crawl before walking. You must learn how to walk before running. One cannot just jump straight into a full out sprint in the short run. However, to believe that you can never sprint because you can't handle it shows a lack of self belief.

    Hey Nick. I like your take on how everyone experienced their own forms of failures. That is very impressive you were taking 17 credits while working. This semester was rough on me as well as I was taking 15 credits and working full time. I agree with you it is important not to put too much on your plate because in the end we are all human. I think you have the right attitude towards failure because the only way we can move on from it is to learn and grow from the mistakes that led to failure.

    Hey Nick, I really enjoyed reading about your point of view of failures and your most recent one is something most of us can relate to I'm pretty sure. Spreading yourself to thin is never a good idea because although you know you want to give 100% in all you do thats pretty much impossible when you are doing all the things that you are doing. Anyways I think you did a great job and and you'll kill it in the summer!

30A – Final Reflection

The experience that sticks out most to be is the entire class to be honest. Throughout the whole semester I had to think critically about what I wanted to do for a business. I went through all sorts of thoughts processes in order to come up with a company that could hit the market now. I am also proud that I was able to do all of the assignments on time and correctly to receive full points. I think I have an entrepreneurial mindset after taking this class. I try ever day to think outside of the box and figure out ways to improve tasks. This has gone into my actual job on campus as well. I try to figure out ways to make the IT department more efficient. The main thing I would recommend for students who take this class is to take it seriously and do the work. All of the assignments teach you something different and new that you may have not experienced before. I believe all of the assignments are tied together to fostering the entrepreneurial mindset. In addition, I would say u...

25A – What’s Next?

Existing market: I think the next thing for my service is physically getting it going. There is nothing like my service in the market right now. All three of my interviewees stated that the next step is for me to form the company because others get into the market. The health care industry is changing fast and their will be competitors soon. I think to grow my service in the new market is very possible. There are not a lot of competitors right now, so we can set the standard for prices and service packages. We can start in urban areas and move our way into more rural areas once we get a foundation set. Companies are always trying to find way to decrease turnover rates. With my service they will be able to do this easily because their employees will feel they are cared about more since they will have benefits they did not have before. They will stay with the company longer because they will see them in a new light. New Market: I feel if I targeted an older demographic my c...
