A: My most formative experience was actually taking the necessary steps to gain real insight to a business idea. Choosing one legitimate preexisting problem that could be beneficial and resolve actual individual issues was the easy part because I had already thought of it prior to ever taking this course. The comments I received from my peers solidified my decision in choosing the business venture I did.
Between my professional and personal life, I was so busy at the start of this semester. I actually, for the first time in my life, considered withdrawing from my courses until the following semester. However, I knew that was not the answer. I am most proud to have persevered and endured the struggle of the balance of everything while still ensuring success.
Q: At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
A: I have always had an entrepreneurial mindset. However, I will say that the approach to entrepreneurship that Mr. Pryor taught us was enlightening. As he stated in the beginning of the class, “we will approach entrepreneurship as a way of thinking and acting, as an attitude and a behavior.” He taught us that entrepreneurship is a process and that it can be learned, repeated, and applied to any human endeavor.

Q: 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?
A: The best recommendations I can give to a future student in order for them to perform well in this course would be to effectively manage their time, prioritize/communicate, and persevere through to the end.
