Understanding Entrepreneurship - The First Step in Entrepreneurship MOOC - Completion Reflection


I have now fully completed Developing Innovative Ideas for New Companies: The First Step in Entrepreneurship, the first course in my Entrepreneurship Specialization.

I passed this first course with distinction!

MOOC 1 of 4 of the Entrepreneurhsip Specialization.


The First Step in Entrepreneurship is exactly that, it is focused on getting the student to come to terms with what an entrepreneur is and how they go about enabling entrepreneurship.

I can believe this.

Weeks 1 & 2 are devoted to the entrepreneur, their mindsets, motivations and behaviours, and weeks 3 & 4 are devoted to practice of entrepreneurship in relation to industry conditions and customer analysis

New Year and plenty of new MOOCs to study


As ever I am studying multiple things at the same time and I have signed up for plenty of MOOCs throughout 2015.

However, I have now started four new MOOCs:

This is the second MOOC in my Entrepreneurship Specialisation and, as with the first, the workload is already starting to build up, but I am gaining a huge understanding from the MOOC's content and practice.

As I have already studied photography previous, this MOOC is really just a refresher and is aimed specifically at providing me with assistance in Digital SLR filming for a number of projects that I have planned this year.

#IntroPsy




For many years I have read an awful lot about psychology, new breakthroughs and the subjects implications on our ways of being. However, I have never had an introductory overview to the subject and as the Open2Study courses tend to be quite compact, I figured this was the best and quickest way for me to gain a consolidated overview of the field of psychology.

I have been getting my health in shape for many years now and over the last three I have placed particular emphasis on my nutritional intake. I have tried various different forms of nourishment and eating patterns as a result. I am now ready to finally consolidate all of the research and studying I have been doing into one systemic lifestyle that I can do as a daily habit and adjust accordingly. 


I have intentionally left this transition to the beginning of 2015 and this MOOC marks my first step in bringing about this systematic consolidation at the beginning of a new year.

Furthermore it will undoubtedly crop up in my 365 FRAMES 2015 project, so there will be no quitting - I will achieve this transition!

"This is a - excuse me - a damn fine cup of green tea."



There is a lot planned for 2015 and all systems are go...
