Month: January 2022

As you plan out success for this quarter, what does that mean to you personally? With your team?

• Honestly not much at this time. I am almost done with my college career, and going into this quarter I do not feel overly stressed or feeling the need to plan for success. I feel that I have my plan for each quarter figured out by now.

Reflect on your experience at our field trip

• I was not able to join the field trip this week because I tested positive for covid.

What have I done this week outside of E&I

• not much, just stayed inside with covid and was able to get a lot of work done for school and my separate project.

Reflecting on your pitch and wrapping up Venture Project One

• How did it go?
  
  • With your team
    • Went great, we all have similar working styles, allowing us to complete our work in a timely manner.
  • With the evidence-based entrepreneurship skills
    • Very good and it was extremely easy, I think the brand we picked to rebrand was the most due for a rebrand, and our data showed that.
  • With discovering a new brand opportunity?
    • I had the idea, and Karhum worked for the company, so we were able to spot the opportunity very early on. WWU students deserve to know about this free service that they actually pay for through tuition.

What have you learned about yourself?

• That I like the rebrand VP1 rebrand more than I did before. Did not learn anything new about myself in that short time, just because I have been in the program for a while and learned more about myself through deeper work in my other projects.

From this learning, what will you carry forward into Venture Project Two?

• Nothing much, just keep on doing what I do every quarter and make sure to go above and beyond.

Why is this important to you?

• VP1 is important to me because it puts me on track/gets me ready for VP2.

What did I do this week outside of E&I?

• I hiked fragrance lake on Tuesday and then oyster dome on Friday, two of my housemates had their friends come up from Portland for the weekend which was fun.

How’s it going?

• Great, my school work load this quarter is not that bad, I spent the Christmas break getting everything prepared for my E5 venture and it feels to be all set up. With your team

With your team

• Everything is fine so far, we lost a team member, but that is alright.

With the evidence-based entrepreneurship skills

• pretty good, just the same stuff as every other quarter. Ask the right questions and collect data to justify your case.

With discovering a new brand opportunity?

• Excellent, we found a great opportunity to take advantage of for this rebrand.

Outside of E&I this week

• I did a lot of school work this past weekend and then went down to Palm Springs with my parents and girlfriend for the 3 day weekend.

• Share about your vision board. What did you observe?

For my vision board I put 2 photos. One of people graduating, and the other of someone pushing a big boulder up a hill. I posted these two photos because I am just at the end of my WWU career and I really need to push forward and finish strong.

• How do you define the word entrepreneur and what is your role in it?

For me, an entrepreneur is anyone who finds a problem and then creates a solution for that problem through whatever means possible. My role in entrepreneurship is to look for things that people struggle with everyday and try to fix it, or find ways to better something already existing.

• This week outside of e&i

My birthday was on January 5th which was fun and I am just getting settled back into my house in Bellingham.
