Entrepreneurial Mind: 2nd Week of Discussion

What we have discussed in this week is about the Design and Elevate, the 4-Step Process, and Evaluation of Product (The Interview).

This week’s activity made me realized how entrepreneurs deal with the point of pain and how they innovate their products to meet the need of their customers. One of the activities we’ve performed is the Tower-Making Marshmallow. Suppose that the marshmallow is your customer and the pasta is your product. What we had been thinking at that moment is to build our foundation first, to concentrate on perfecting our product which is the pasta while we keep on neglecting our costumer, the marshmallow. All along the process, since we keep our eyes on the pasta, we thought we built a strong foundation that is enough to hold our marshmallow, but we did not. It couldn’t stand alone. It’s frail. However, what we have learned is, we must first give our attention to our customer, focus on their needs, and garnering information through listening to their suggestions.

Interviewing people and presenting your product to your target costumers is not a joke. There some instances will hear constructive criticisms and negativity. But we have developed during the interview portion is to be open-minded and to treat ourselves as a beginner so that we could handle any feedback. Furthermore, I think having these characteristics helped us to gain more information we need without being partial.

           Ideas before becoming a reality now. We’re living in a world that has been filled by ideas and concepts which fuels the scientists and investors to make it visible. But without humility, idealism, and patience, we couldn’t obtain what we have right now.
