What behaviors have I used to keep up with the course?
- Determination
- Open Mindedness
- Get it done attitude
A moment I felt like giving up:
- I was in the middle of my week 6 reading reflection and it seemed that the things on my plate would continue to pile up until there was literally no end. I began to think "wtf is the point of this class anyway?!" However, I realized that the purpose since the beginning of the class was to change how I see things not just learn to run a business. You can't start a business or run one using the same defeated mindset and the same tactics over and over again. My want to succeed and my drive to finish what I had started ultimately is what has pulled me through. To have the things you've never had, you have to do things you never have.
Three tips I'd give to someone who takes this class in the future:
- Really try to do the exercise no matter what; you might like it.
- Think: "the minute I am not working, someone else is."
- Look at things that could be improved all around you even if you have no idea how you would implement the solution.
Hey, Eddy. I definitely feel you about the assignments; they just seem endless at points, don't they? However, they really do a great job at forcing you to always be considering your mindset and changing the way you see things, which, as you said, is the purpose of this course, not just starting and running a business. I especially like your tip #2; that's inspiration that gets me through my days sometimes. Here's my post: http://bpace9583.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html
ReplyDeleteEdward, I like that you were honest in your post about the point you thought of giving up but I am glad to hear that you were determined to finish what you started. At the beginning of this course I too found myself wondering what I would benefit from this class because I personally am not looking to open up my own business. However, I have now noticed it is beneficial to us to see things in different perspectives, similar to you. I thought the three tips you gave to future students will be helpful to them.
