30A- Final Reflection

I loved the experience of having to create an idea and execute a full marketing plan for it. I will remember the experience of creating my idea and going along with it. The most joyous experience was interviewing people and seeing how much they love my idea. I am most proud my whole idea and how I executed a lot of my exercises. This whole experience really gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams and entrepreneurial ideas.
I think I have become a lot more entrepreneurial. Whenever I see an opportunity now, I write it down on a note in my phone. I want to pursue learning more about being an entrepreneur and maybe owning my own company.
I recommended for future students to stay on top of every assignment and to really put in the effort for each assignment. The best thing to do is organize every assignment in your agenda and make sure to write down the times things are due. I struggled with all the due dates.

In terms of fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, I suggest really getting into your idea and treating it as something real. I got the most excited when I interviewed people and saw their excitement too.

    I agree with you, seeing your business idea grow each week with each assignment was great. It really helped me step out of my comfort zone, especially interviewing potential customers and peers.

    Having an agenda, keeping it up to date and checking it regularly helped me a lot in this course. I also had the same advice for any incoming students. Making sure you actually believe in your own business idea makes writing about it so much easier. You won't dread it and you'll find yourseld actually enjoying it.

    It's been a long semester but it went by quick. Glad I was able to follow along with your blog and your business concept. I wish you the best of luck on all your future endeavors!

27A- Reading Reflection No.3

The book I decided to read was the Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users by Guy Kawasaki. I have read this book twice now because this book is a required reading for one of my advertising classes. What I loved the most about this book was Guy’s way of making everything so easy for any reader to understand. His step by step understanding of social media makes it appealing for everyone. What I admired the most was Guy’s ability to bring in emotion to social media. His idea of being thankful, it reminded me that I should never steal someone’s work or words and I should always tag people to their original work. I also really liked how his book was made to be a fast and easy read. Guy believes in the power of social media and all he wants is to help his readers. The book did not really go into the adversities of Guy but he did mention that he has put in years to understand social media like he does now. I appreciate his grit and willingness to stick with it. His passion has m...

21A- Reading Reflection No. 2

General Theme: The book that I read was Inbound Marketing by Brian Halligan. This book was an easy read for me because I am an advertising major and I learn about this a lot in class. Halligan focused his book on describing the customer driven marketing method of inbound marketing. He started by explaining how the changing technological world has changed the world of marketing forever. Old methods such as push marketing is outdated and consumers now only respond to pull and inbound marketing. Halligan argued that inbound marketing is the best way to market your product because it is customer driven rather than product driven. The book focuses on creating content that the customer will be attracted to and that the marketing team can receive active analytics on. Halligan argues that building following and traffic is the first step to having a successful business. This book enhanced my overall knowledge of entrepreneurship because It showed how important marketing is in the process o...
