1) Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?
- I have been organized in terms of setting and meeting deadlines. I put all assignments into my laptop calendar and have the due date set to 2 days before they are actually due. I also ensure to allot specific times on my weekend to focus solely on giving peer reviews.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. 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?
- A moment that I felt like giving up on the assignments in this class was a few weeks ago. I had 2 exams, a project, a paper, and the assignments in this course due and I also was sick. All I wanted to do was stay in bed and rest and pretend I had none of those assignments to do, but I knew I would both fall behind and see my grades suffer. I decided to push through and just try and get everything done on time and told myself once it was all done I could rest. I feel like I have become more tenacious over the past two months because as much as I wanted to give up, I couldn't let myself.
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' ?
Three tips I would give are:
- Set goal of when you want to get these assignments done. There is no point in seeing your grade suffer because you lacked motivation.
- When doing the assignments, make them about something you are passionate about and you want to see come to life. You never know, an idea you are writing about on the blog could become what makes you the next millionaire.
- Value all feedback given, what may seem perfect in your mind could be holding you back from further developing yourself as an entrepreneur.

Hi Gianna,
ReplyDeleteI agree that a student needs to be organized in this class to be successful. There are so many assignments and so many parts that need to be completed. In addition, a student may need to work ahead on some items such as the reading reflections or risk falling significantly behind in this class and others if they are taking more than one class. With that being said, most of the assignments are not too difficult as long as one puts in the proper amount of time.

Hey Gianna,
ReplyDeleteI think one of the biggest problems when it comes to doing our work is planning ahead for it, and setting goals like you mentioned. One of the small doings that has helped me with setting goals is buying a planner and taking the time every week to write in it for what I knew needed to get done. But I keep that planner out, and open on my desk so that it is a constant reminder of my goals for the week.
