Halfway Reflection

 What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?

·      Being confident when doing tasks.

·      Analyzing the things that I have to do, in order to develop a plan.

·      Pull through, even when I might be a little uncertain, because I think you can always figure out things along the way.

·      I have learned that not everything has to be perfect in the first shot. Sometimes what’s important is just to get out there in the market and then develop your product.

2.     Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?

As one of my life dreams is to successfully create a company and become an entrepreneur, sometimes I would think that it might be too hard, and maybe I will never accomplish it. However, when that happens, I just relax, take a deep breath, and regain positivity, as I feel that there is no point in being negative. I can definitely say that after the things I have learned in this course, I have realized that being successful in the entrepreneurship world is feasible, and you just need a good plan and a bunch of hard work.

3.     Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset'?

·      Be confident in yourself: know that you are capable of doing things, and if you want, you will be successful.

·      Don’t worry about failing: most people do, and the difference between succeeding and failing is in not giving up.

·      Plan ahead: the more you plan, the more chances your idea has of materializing. Ask questions when needed, and if you can, find a mentor.
