Half-Way Reflection

Good Afternoon Folks,

This week we are going to give a reflection of everything that has happened so far this semester. We are going to discuss how I have succeeded in this class, what has been challenging, and any tips for students taking this course next semester.

How Do I Keep Up With The Course?

My strategy for keeping up with this course is breaking it up day by day. I try not to focus too far ahead but I also do not let myself get behind. I try and complete one assignment per day, and sometimes it can be really tough, but I have learned to push through and get it done. This class has brought me out of my comfort zone and it has made me a much more confident and carefree person. Before this class I used to look for others for assurance whenever doing anything but not I am never afraid to be myself. In addition, I have learned how how effectively and efficiently manage my time. I now have to use a calendar or else I will easily miss an assignment or two.

Challenges?

There have been several times when I had the urge to completely skip an assignment because I did not feel like doing it. Whenever I had this feeling, I would tell myself that little things like these make the difference between success people and failures. Everyone can work when they feel well, but it takes a true champion to work when things get tough. A lot of assignments seemed weird at first, but as the class goes a long I realized how it all tied together. I also use that as motivation, because I know these assignments are helping me become a better entrepreneur. 

Three Tips?

1. Use a calendar or your phone to remind yourself for assignments. It can be very easy to miss things in this class if you do not pay attention. Either use a calendar or some sort of reminder tool to help keep you on top of things.

2. Don't be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone. Many of the activities can be a little weird or intimidating but embrace it. Nobody judges you, and these assignments help you grow as a person and an entrepreneur. 

3. Put in as much as you would like to get out of it. If you go all out on your blog, and actually do every assignment, you are going to learn so much more. It can be easy to just use your friends for assignments, but you need to learn the skill of approaching random people and making conversation if you want to be successful in business. Put in 100% and you will get 150% out of it.
