Half-Way Reflection

1. The primary skills I applied during my time in this course have been my people skills. Talking to strangers and asking them questions and getting their permission to record videos of them, these are the skills I constantly was using every week for this class, and if you don't already have these skills, you will definitely develop them.
2. The time I most felt like giving up was for the three customer interview projects. Constantly asking the same questions over and over felt so tedious, I think this made me loose determination because you begin to get bored of the same idea, or you regret choosing one idea that wasn't thought out enough. For this, I advise really thinking and brainstorming for a good strong business idea that way you won't get tired of it after a week; you'll be talking about it a lot so pick something interesting!
3. a) Like I said above, definitely pick something your passionate about! Only passion will keep this course interesting and allow you to fully enjoy the assignments. b) Don't over-think the assignments. The more you over-think them, the harder they are and the less you get out of the assignment. Just go and do, don't think too much about it. c) Not everything is going to work out, or be "successful." That's ok, it can feel like the assignments are only designed for "successful" ideas, but just keep talking about why your particular idea isn't or wouldn't be successful.
