My Entrepreneurship Journey

After having the first session on the Entrepreneurship unit on Friday, I felt quite confused and worried about how I was going to get on in this unit, so I decided to sit down with the unit handbook that was given to us and go through it all in the hope it would make things clearer.

And I think it helped. I have noted down specific words from the handout such as innovation, changes in society and customer needs to make sure I always have them in my mind as they are going to help me form my outcome. I have gone through every single task that has been outlined for us and enhanced my knowledge of what each one consists of and I have matched these with the time plan provided so I now have it clear in my mind when we will be learning what and how long we have to complete each task.

At first glance of the time plan, I was shocked because it had a lot of work crammed into sessions, however, I can see the benefits of the structure and it is very clear and straight to the point and helpful to our studies. Being briefed on one task and then having to have to read to present for the following week is sensible because it will keep the task clear in my mind and I will get what I need to done to complete the task. Also this means while I'm focusing on the little tasks I am creating the bigger picture without really realising it.....so its less daunting...i LOVE this!

I am a little more hopeful towards the unit now and happy that I know the structure and aims of each week. However, I am sure more elements of work will be pointed out to me on the way through this unit but I will tackle them when it comes to it.

I'm still not 100% about the presentation next week 'Yourself and your business' but I will be making an appointment with Sarah Charles to utilise her experience and talk the unit through, hopefully this will help!
