1) Tenaciousness is a skill.
the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course: I frequently observe how other students were doing the same thing as I did, and learn from their good examples or mistakes. I developed a mindset to be brave to actually put my ideas into actions, and not afraid to ask for help when I am in trouble.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude.
The exercise of free money had made me felt like "giving up." But it was through the encouragement and help from my friends that I successfully done it at last.
I feel like I have developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months. And I think interviewing different people most contributed to this.
3) Three tips. The three tips I would offer next semester's student about
(1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' are the followings:
1. Be brave to embrace failure
2. Be bold to step out of your comfort zone
3. Do not give up easily
Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI am glad this class has helped you be bolder about your ideas. I have always had a go get'em personality but this class gave me skills to tune that behavior. I think the best piece of advice you offered was to not give up easily. I cannot tell you how many times I was ready to throw in the towel on those customer interviews. It's important to keep at it and if nothing else I have a greater determination level now then before taking this course.

Wan,
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with the sentiment that this class requires embracing failure and going outside your comfort zone. For many of these assignments I struggle to see the correlation between entrepreneurship, but sometimes you have to go with the follow regardless of your opinion. Retrospectively maybe the purpose of several of these assignments is understanding the value of follow through and relentlessness. If you get a chance here is my post. http://ericchyattesblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html
