14A – Halfway Reflection

Tenaciousness is a competency.

The behaviors that I have used to keep up with the requirements of this course are to always work ahead. Staying organized is definitely a key component to being successful in this course. Also being creative. Think outside the box on issues and finding a way to solve them, with long-term and short term solutions.

Tenaciousness is also about attitude.

A moment in this class when I felt like giving up was when I would struggle to come up with a solution to the problem, I am trying to solve for consumers. What pulled me through was the idea that no idea is stupid. You just grow and develop it over time until it becomes the ultimate final product. I do that I have developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months from this course. The experience that contributes to the growth of my tenacious attitude would be my ability to take hold of my assignments and organize them to which I could work ahead.

Three tips.

fostering the skills that support tenacity
1. Complete your assignments ahead of time.

developing the 'tenacious mindset.'

2. Organize your assignments out by making your own "schedule of assignments" with the dues date.

3. Write notes while watching lectures to refer back too before taking your CupCakes.

    Savannah,
    I agree with each of your tips and I actually do them all myself as well! I too have found that it is important to be organized and work ahead as much as possible. To do this, I decided to purchase a paper planner - and it has been life changing for me. Typically, I use my email calendar, but now I will never go back.
    Sincerely,
    Victoria May

    Savannah,
    I agree that working ahead in this course is one of the main ways to keep yourself on track. Whenever I finish an assignment days before the due date, I eliminate that stress of getting them done fast because I have to. I have realized that sometimes, though, taking notes on the lectures isn't enough to get me 100% on the cupcakes. Now I just watch them and then take the quiz as soon as possible after so I don't forget anything.

    Hi Savannah,
    I really enjoyed reading your post. I completely agree that you should stay organized and stay ahead of the assignments for this course. There are multiple assignments due at once so it would be impossible for a student to thoroughly complete all of them right before the due date. I also agree that notes should be taken while watching the lectures in order to avoid missing any important information.

    Hey Savannah,

    I totally agree with the working ahead. I find it so hard to keep up with 12PM deadlines considering all of my other classes have 11:59PM deadlines. If I do not set a million alarms for the morning of the due dates or complete them the night before, I miss out on completing them. I also agree with your insight on being organized; there is so much going on in this class between lectures, blog posts, and quizzes, so it is extremely important!

30A – Final Reflection

Image
1. From the first assignment, the bu lists, we have learned so much. The bug list was an excellent assignment to start the course. I allowed me to get into the headspace as a business person. To recognize the flaws or ‘bugs’ faulty in the world and look to create something that could affect it positively. And that’s what we learned throughout this course. Finding an opportunity and acting on it, that is what an entrepreneur is. 2. What sticks out to me the most is the idea that you planted is that the fact that we all just want money. It is essential to do what we need to do now to make money and focus on the bigger picture later. What I’m most proud of is the way I developed a full business idea and have the experience to know the steps of creating a product/service. 3. I do now see myself more as an entrepreneur, and I feel that I have grown the entrepreneur mindset. 4. One recommendation I would make to students is to be open-minded through this course and really learn from ea...

26A – Celebrating Failure

A time this past semester that I failed was when I was doing laundry. And I know what your thinking, but your wrong, I know how to do my own laundry. Unfortunately, I just made the wrong decision on my part. I had a shirt that was relatively old and pink. I was doing a whitewash, and I thought, 'ya know I don't think it will run; its been in the wash too many times to do that.' But thirty minutes later I found out I was wrong and it bled all my other clothes in the wash with it. From this experience, I learned from it, and what I learned was to don't take a chance just to do another load. And from this story, I hope you all learn from my mistake. Failure is critical in life. From failure, you learn; you learn from your mistakes and more about yourself. I handle failure pretty well. I have been through a lot in my life where I have learned the hard way that failure is okay and what makes you a better person is to take on that failure and do better from it. This class has...

28A – Your Exit Strategy

1. I intend to grow my business to all that it is worth, and if an opportunity comes for me to sell, then, of course, I will take that opportunity, but my main goal would be to run this business to the end. My existing strategy will be when I retire and hopefully pass on the business through my family. 2. I choose this to be my exit strategy because I want to grow and run the business to my full potential and then pass it on through my family to keep it in the family name. 3. I think this decision relates to my human capital and personal goals. I personally would like to take the business that I grew from the ground up as far as I could and, in the end, look at my progress. From there, my family can do what they think there’s exit strategy is best for this. What I mean by this is if they decide to sell it or grow it till they retire also. It has influenced my growth intentions and how I plan to use my resources.
