Entrepreneur Notebook (25 pts)

In order to identify opportunities for entrepreneurial ventures, you must begin to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and watch for opportunities in your daily life.  One way in which to do this is to maintain your ideas in a notebook which is required for this class.  You should make four entries per week for three weeks (12 total).  This is an electronic notebook using Microsoft Word.  Because this is idea generation, rather than assessment, the entries need only be 4-5 sentences long and describe the product or service in a general way that is clear and easy to understand.   If you choose to draw a picture you may upload the picture as well.

 

In addition, you will need to provide a Knowledge, Skills and Ability personal reflection.  Your background will help guide your future entrepreneurial activity so it is essential to understand what characteristics that make you unique.  A paragraph a minimum of 5 sentences will need to be included in your notebook submission.    Here is a PowerPoint to help you think about your KSAs: KSA.pptx Download KSA.pptx
