Half-Way Reflection

1) What did you learn during this month?
I learned I am glad I launched my business 4.5 years ago and long before I did these exercises otherwise I would have had analysis paralysis and NEVER would have launched my business or left my comfy paycheck as an engineer. 
That being said, at this point in my business, I find these assignments very helpful in taking the experiences I have had and really focusing on where I want my business to go from here. 
2) What do you like about this course?
That we are graded on effort, not content. This gives the freedom to write what you really think versus what you think the right answer is. Like I said in #1, if I were doing this without a track record of success and proof that this business really does work, I would have chalked it up to not possible by now.
3) What don't you like about this course?
It's great to have feedback from classmates, but a lot of the feedback I have gotten comes from their fears and very limited experience in my particular field. While everyone is certainly giving their best feedback, I have to say it isn't unlike the feedback I've been getting from my family, friends, co-workers, and even strangers when they hear "online fitness" over the years. 
4) Do you think it was a fair assumption that this course requires 8-10 hours of work per week? What has been your experience so far and why?
Yes, I would say that is about right. Some weeks require a little more than others. Thank you for the heads up on the interview weeks!!! Between running a business and life, 8-10 hours for one class is challenging. 
5) If it were up to you, what would you change in the course to make it better?
Maybe have the first assignment be to create some sort of video explanation of the business. I realize mine would be a little easier to make a video because I already have social proof, photos, etc., but I think this would give the class a better intro into the business. Non-video people would hate me for that recommendation.
