As someone who has been taking this course for half a semester now, I have developed some minor skills that have helped me to be able to do well in this course. I would definitely say that an important skill would be prioritizing, since the large amount of work in the course certainly calls for it. Along with that would be time management; many of the assignments take a decent amount of time to complete
Now a time I almost gave up on a task, was wen I was working on the "free money" assignment. I didn't want to do this assignment at all when I first looked at what it required. Part of me didn't want to give away my money, and another part of me didn't even want to go up to people. I was lucky enough to have someone help me with this assignment and keep me on track, while also recording the times I attempted to give away the money. While I may not have done the assignment 100% correctly, I still managed to be able to complete it.
A few tips I would have for anyone planning on taking this course would be to not be afraid to go completely out of your comfort zone and to make an effort to always come up with new ideas. Getting out of your comfort zone is what really helps you develop the skills you need to become an entrepreneur, and getting creative helps to develop that mindset
Not that the entrepreneurial mindset hinges upon having a tenacious mindset, which all of these skill and tips are a part of. The real aspect of tenacity is to not be discouraged or afraid of changes, and being able to maneuver around them.
Hi Cheyenne;
ReplyDeleteFunny picture. As I read your post, as well as other's, we have all learned a very important lesson: prioritize. (As I put it, get things done). I agree with the tips you have suggested. It is important to not have such a delimited comfort zone, because you will often be forced to leave it. Most assignments do require the extra mile, so the more comfortable you are with that the better. I hope our teachers show future class mates our posts, because they could be really helpful!

Hi Cheyenne, you did a great job on this assignment. I could have used some of your ideas this semester. I have trouble stepping outside of my comfort zone and this really limits me as far as performance. I have trouble with doing this in my own small business as well. Sometimes change bothers customers. In my line of work anytime something changes it confuses customers and backs up the line. I understand that I must keep up with the changes in the market in order to be successful. I really enjoyed this and I look forward to reading your future work.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheyenne,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your half-way report. I also learned to step out of my comfort zone when it came time to interview people. I believe entreprenuership deals a lot with talking to people which requires a great deal of confidence. I like how this course is teaching us to be confident. To launch a company with a new idea takes courage and confidence because there will always be people that tell you it can't be done. Good luck with the rest of your journey in this course.
