Business Proposal Validation 

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze networking interactions to determine pivots that should be made to the business proposal. The ability to use feedback from potential customers, investors, resources, advisors, and mentors to pivot and make changes that will propel your business idea forward is critical to entrepreneurial success. Complete the following steps to indicate how you will pivot and provide justification for your pivoting decisions. In the Topic 7 assignment you analyzed your networking interactions to validate your business proposal. For this assignment, refer back to the “Business Proposal Validation” worksheet you submitted for the Topic 7 assignment and use those findings to determine changes and update all nine sections of the Business Model Canvas as needed to propel the business forward. Based upon your interactions with potential customers, partners, resources, advisors, and mentors, summarize what you learned from your networking interactions throughout the course. In a 500-word reflection, address the following: Discuss what you learned about the validity of your business proposal. Provide specific examples to illustrate its validity or lack thereof.
