Assignment 30A - Final Reflection

Image
Formative Experience: The most formative experience I have from taking ENT3003 is easily the elevator pitches. Prior to taking this class, I had little to no experience in giving an elevator pitch. I never had a need to learn how to provide a great elevator pitch, yet. After taking this class, I can definitely say that I have plenty of experience in providing a great elevator pitch and I am excited to bring my expertise to real-world experiences. The most joyous experience I have from taking this class was creating my own venture. Thinking about the demands that consumers have was very intriguing and a very eye-opening experience.

I would plan for my children to go to college and receive exceptional business degrees from great colleges and universities, and then I would teach them the ropes of the business so that it would be there for them when I retire. In case my children do not want to take over the venture, I would find someone who I find reliable enough to take control of the company eventually. I would show this person the ropes within the last ten years prior to retirement. I have selected this exit strategy because I want someone to continue the legacy that I have created, and I want someone to benefit from it. Without someone taking over the company, all of my hard work and dreams would eventually be ruined and fade. My exit strategy has influenced the other decisions I have made by allowing myself to prepare for the future. Without plans for the future, I would be forced to...
