Throughout this semester, the Entrepreneurship course became more than just an academic requirement—it became a meaningful learning journey. Working on TitikKondisi, a weather-based mobile application, helped me realize that entrepreneurship is not merely about having a good idea. Instead, it is about understanding how to transform that idea into something real, useful, and valuable for others.

One of the most important lessons I learned is that ideas are only the starting point. What truly defines an entrepreneur is the ability to test those ideas, receive feedback, and continuously refine them to match user needs. Through this process, I learned that value does not come from assumptions, but from understanding real problems faced by real users.

This realization became clearer when we began questioning our own concept. Why would people need another weather application? What problems are not yet solved by existing platforms? These questions pushed us to think deeper and identify gaps, such as overly generic information and the lack of integrated, user-focused insights in current weather apps. By addressing these gaps, we learned how important it is to define a clear purpose before designing a solution.

Beyond product development, this course also strengthened my communication and decision-making skills. Working in a team required constant discussion, compromise, and shared responsibility. Every decision—from choosing our target market to refining our value proposition—required thoughtful consideration and alignment among team members.

In the end, this experience taught me that entrepreneurship is a continuous process of choosing, testing, failing, learning, and improving. Becoming comfortable with uncertainty and trial-and-error has been one of the most valuable lessons I gained. This journey has helped shape my mindset to think more critically, act more strategically, and grow more confidently as an aspiring entrepreneur.
