Attitude
Before the practicum, I had a mindset that entrepreneurship is a business that only requires a large sum of budget to be successful. After I experienced the entrepreneurship project, I realized the necessity of efficient financial management and teamwork to form a successful entrepreneurship. 

Skills
I have learned about communicating with other members who are managing different roles in the entrepreneurship project. As a financial manager, I need to consistently update the total costs and sales to the other members. Besides, I have learned to think critically about the feasibility of the product proposition. I realized that the frozen curly fries, which are the main raw materials, will increase the product selling prices due to high prices. Thus, I proposed that the fries preparation using a hand grater machine by using fresh potatoes that costs much lower than frozen fries.

Besides, I learned to assess the risks of operating a Food & Beverage business. There would be possibly some unfavorable incidences, such as food poisoning and  equipment failure. The risk assessment helps to determine the possible solutions to mitigate the negative effects of the conditions.
