Warren Buffet said, “I am not a businessman. I am an artist.” Mg201 has shown me that it is more important to adapt to change and create rather than focus on a profit. This course was a great way to look at my personal and professional opportunities in the business world. It began by focusing on how there is always change and the different ways in which people react to change. Through the proof of concept and sales forecast, change was seen simply between two semesters. Throughout this semester, the real business experience that I have received in this class has given me several key takeaways. They are: We actually do use what we learn in class in the real world, entrepreneurship is not for me, and Kawasaki is a sarcastic man.
Overall, Mg201 was a mixture of learning experiences thrown into one course. Reading, activities, and projects have given many insights to entrepreneurship and other aspects within creating and running a business. When doing the breakeven analysis for this class, it was interesting to see that what I had learned in my accounting class became useful for my own proof of concept. Working with my group, I found that I would much rather get direction about what they wanted done before doing individual work for our presentations. I found the humorous way that Kawasaki described dealings in the business world were actually very relatable to my own experiences. Through these takeaways, I saw how important it is to apply my knowledge and be creative in order to succeed in the business world.
