Reading Reflection No. 3

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users by Guy Kawasaki

1) The general theme for the book was talking about the importance and the myriad of ways of how social media today is a way to help a business thrive or for it to struggle. There is no denying the power of social media today and how it has an influence on so much that happens in businesses today.

2) The way the book helped connect with the class was how us entrepreneurs started blogs about our experiences on all the work we accomplished throughout the semester. We started our own form of social media to share out there with the world.

3) I would add an element of not only writing the blogs for the class but to also have the students share the blogs onto their own social media so that more of their friends and family would see their ideas for input.

4) The entire book for my was a huge "aha" because I did not know the lack of knowledge I had towards the importance of social media and what it is. Even had me second guessing how I use my social media and the improvements I want to make for myself

Final Reflection

1) Going back and reading through all my blogs it has definitely been a roller coaster of a semester for my in the class, with my summer classes and with my life in general. There were times where things were amazing and other times where it was not so amazing.

2) For myself, the biggest experience would have to be coming up with my venture idea, like something that not was thought off but also written out and talked about with others. The building of ideas and improvements over weeks stretches was definitely an experience and the first time I do such a thing.

3) I do see myself even more as an entrepreneur since I was put to think like one. My experience definitely has given me, even more, respect to all entrepreneurs for the experiences that they had to go through to achieve their dreams and success.

4) One recommendation I would give to future students is to take advantage of being able to think out the box and follow a dream/thought that you come up for your venture. There is nothing more rewarding and exciting than having an idea come to life and doing something you are passionate about.
