Half-Way Reflection

1. I really had to develop a behavior of thinking ahead. To keep up with the assignments I had to look ahead and plan what to do each week and when I was going to do it. You could say that there was never really a dull moment in this course. However, I believe that the most important behavior that I needed to develop for this course is being confident when I approached others. Many assignments required us to speak to strangers and what I have learned is that strangers are more hesitant to talk to you if you are not confident and shy to speak to them. So being confident in my behavior was really important to keep up with  the requirements in this course.

2. Sometimes when I lose track of assignments and I realize a few hours before the deadline that there was a task that required me to go talk to others and I honestly just sitting at home. I really felt like giving up and just letting the points go but that would have went against what I was trying to accomplish this semester which is staying on top of assignments and not letting one pass by. So I got up and went out to get those assignments done. I definitely felt like my tenacity has greatly developed in the past two months. Even if i experienced a set back I wouldn't let it affect me.

3. The three tips I would give to students next semester are:
- Have a "don't care what people think" attitude. It is useful because many times you are going to have to talk to strangers.
- Make a calendar. There are a lot of assignments in this course and a calendar will help keep track of everything. Then if you have a calendar there is no excuse for you to not do assignments.
- Keep a mindset that you are an actual entrepreneur trying to succeed in the real world. Many of the assignments are just a scratch on the surface of what an entrepreneur has to do so if you keep that mindset you'll be better prepared.
