Week 15 Reading Reflection

One area in which this article stood out was the fact that they seemed to be talking down upon outsourcing. The opening paragraph is about how these local areas are extremely dangerous to these companies. While this may be true, the economic benefit that these areas have for the company greatly outweigh the cost. 

One of the parts that confused myself in the article is the fact that microfinnance institutions are nonprofit (80%). I don't understand why so many of these companies would be non profit and for exactly what reason. 

The first question I would like to ask the author is what exact example of a microfinnance institute is profitable. The second question I would like to ask the author is about the going from paper to online. How was the transition like?

One area in which I disagree with the author is about is no where. The author is teaching me about things that I have never even heard of until today.

Final Reflection

1) Read through your blog from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread.

While reading through my blog it is crazy to see all the work I have put in. My lows have to be the fact that I did not complete as many assignments as I would have liked. This class was not the most difficult but the amount of work you put in matters. Some moments I noticed was the crazy things that we had to do like give someone 1 dollar, interview random people and do other stuff that I probably would never do again. 

2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?

Giving people the 1 dollar will probably be my memory since people walked away from me! Its crazy to see the reactions of people and this is what leaves an impression. The experience I am most proud of would be completing as many task as i did. No other class in my college life has tested me this much

3) At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. And we repeated the mantra -- I am an entrepreneur. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?

Now with my Venture concept I do feel like an entrepreneur. I have completed an entire project that can allow my ideas to grow. Also with feedback I can be more successful with my Idea.

4) 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?

DO ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS
