Halfway Reflection

1. Tenacious is a competency. Such an accurate statement. When you are an entrepreneur there is no base salary deposit in your bank account every week. You get paid purely off of results. Just like this class. We do not get points towards our grade if we do not do our assignments. We earn our grades purely off the points we yield from our work. If no work was done, we receive no points, plain and simple. The key behaviors that I used at the beginning of this course are focus, tenaciousness, and perseverance. I used the behavior of focus to stay on track, in other words, continue to keep my eye on the light at the end of the tunnel. The acquired characteristic of tenaciousness held me together, by the grace of God. And last but not least perseverance allowed me to truck through all of my work with a great vengeance.

2. Tenaciousness is also about attitude. This is also very true. One applies the characteristic of tenaciousness through their attitude. At the beginning of ENT 3003 is when my tenaciousness began to flourish. I was taking Agricultural Data Analysis for summer A while taking ENT 3003, working 2 jobs, and sticking to a strict workout regimen. The assignments would always creep up on me every week. Yes, it would be easy not to do them sometimes and pray for extra credit but my acquired tenaciousness would not let me. My recommendation would be to persevere through all of life's obstacles and complete your work no matter what!

3. Three tips. Three tips I would give to this fluorescent green gourd of a student are absolute. Each tip is to apply the behaviors learned in bullet point 1 (Focus, Tenaciousness, and Perseverance). If the tips provided are applied, they will nurture the development of a tenacious entrepreneurial mindset.
