This week we talked about our intervening journeys and how they contributed to our entrepreneurial success and learning. We then talked about skills that might be needed to generate a successful product or marketing a product. We got to talk to others around the room and learn about each others skills. I found this very helpful to one, get to know more people in the class, and two, to gain knowledge on others skills for future reference. I think talking to others helped when we shared our experience of interviewing because it made me fell more confident for the nexts steps. I feel a lot better now than before which I think is a good sign for more to come.

Week 3

 After coming up with an idea, we actually launched our product! This was a very interesting project as it generated many emotions that I'm sure people feel when actually selling their own products. It was fun to create a website and name for a product and see what others thought of our idea. I think the fear of starting is much harder to deal with than actually launching it. Once I created the website I felt very excited to see what we were going to do next. I find it very different to feel these emotions in a classroom setting. I was intrigued to find out what was going to happen next and how it would affect my self-esteem when using my own idea.

Week 2

After the second week of classes I felt more comfortable learning about my ideas. We came up with an idea and began talking about possible venture ideas. It was interesting to see who enjoyed my ideas and wanted to work with me, as well as hearing others input on how to better my ideas. I think it was hard to express my ideas at first because I was afraid to share and hear negative options, but once I shared them, I only heard positive feedback or constructive criticism. I appreciated the feedback as it gave me insight on what starting a venture might look like.

Week 5

After generating our ideas and coming up with new venture ideas, we talked about interviews. We are supposed to find people to interview to see if our ideas can be useful for people who are actually going through the problems we came up with. I have generated my questions and I'm beginning to reach out to find interviewee's. We did a group activity to get a better understanding of what to ask and how to do the interviews. I feel a bit nervous to conduct these interviews because I get anxious when talking to strangers, however, I think this will get me out of my comfort zone and help me with future entrepreneurial skills. I hope to get enough people to interview and that my generated problems are real.
