1) Tenacity is something I had never thought of necessarily in the academic setting but it is definitely an applicable word to what it takes to be successful in this course. I have always thought of myself as a hard worker but it took me developing an extra level of "tenacity" within the course to keep up with the material on a weekly basis.
2) A moment I can recall off the top of my head was when the lecture was not loading for me and thus I could not complete a cupcake and I thought about just not doing any of the work for that week but instead completed all of the assignments including finding a way to pass the cupcake. I would say a lot of experiences contributed to that some unconsciously as perhaps in the past I would've given up.
3) First tip would be go in with an open mind willing to read and learn new things and about new people because that is really what entrepreneurship is about to me. Secondly, I suggest watching as much of the lectures as possible not only to learn but for some entertainment value at times. Lastly, work ahead if possible as it will relieve a lot of time crunch stress on Friday and Monday mornings.
Hey John, I agree with your first tip. This course definitely requires an open mind and a willingness to expand your preconceived ideas. That's actually what I love about this course. The assignments allow me to expand my thinking and have given me the ability to think more complex when completing the assignments.
ReplyDeleteHi John! Your last tip is definitely the most relatable for me. I usually have work on Friday mornings so I usually spend my Thursday's completing the assignments for this course. If you wait until the last minute, its going to cause a lot of unnecessary stress. Great post!
