1)      Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?
Giving yourself enough time to finish the assignment the day before the deadline (no student wants to work on his assignment under pressure in the morning after waking up). Also, the course will be easier if you figure out an interesting product/service similar to your hobbies/studies. I personally enjoy going to the lectures because you will be more engaged and if you take in the most important topics the cupcakes should be manageable. Just do not miss any deadlines and also never forget to do the deceleration (only by forgetting to press one extra button, it could cost you valuable points).

2)      Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
At someone point this semester I felt overwhelmed with all the information and never using Canvas before did not help either but after a certain time and that first down phase you will afterward see that it is all manageable, when planning your time well. I believe I had a tenacious attitude before this course but it is definitely helping me improve it.  My most influential experience was moving to the US to go to college, this made me grow up faster and more responsible for my actions. When you feel like you want to give up on something (as cliché as this sounds), remember why you started. You had a reason why you joined this class, went to college, or wake up every morning. Keep the end/goal in mind and realize that the “pain” is temporary.
3)      Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset’?
·         View challenges as opportunities to grow. Think like this: Every opportunity is wrapped in a problem, the bigger the problem, the bigger the opportunity to gain. Have a “growth mindset”.
·         Try to enjoy the work you are doing and find some topics you enjoy working on. It is all up to you to find a product or service that you enjoy.
·         Take responsibility and try to not deliver medium work, this course will bring you more joy and overall learning if you put more work into it than the minimum requirement.

    I agree that its important to complete the tasks the day before hand. I have had to complete some assignments the morning before they are due and they were riddled with mistakes. Now i know that i will complete assignments in the morning in the future but i want to strive to cut this habit out. Also, I think that your first tip is phenomenal. If we view these assignments as opportunities it will be a lot easier to motivate ourselves to complete them.

Bug List: 1. Dirty toilets and dirty handles in the library bathrooms. a.

3A – Your Entrepreneurship Story

Image
My cousin created a software program about a year ago. It is very difficult having to build software, coming up with a business plan, creating a budgeting plan, establishing a marketing strategy, and searching for potential investors on your own. That’s why I am currently supporting my cousin and taking some work off his shoulder. I am mainly focusing on describing the target audience as best as I can, and I am putting a marketing plan together. I am also working on the most important social media platforms for the company. Entrepreneurship is constant work and there are always new obstacles to overcome. But for me, it seems like the biggest challenge is to get the ball rolling in the first place and starting something. Once there is progress the motion keeps ongoing. Just like newton’s first law of motion states,” An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will continue to move at a constant speed in its original direction unless acted upon by...

Inbound Marketing What was the general theme or argument of the book?  In general, the book  Inbound Marketing , by Brian Halligan, talks about how to generate leads on the internet. The main topics are SEO, Blogging, Social Media and other tools for building your brand.      How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? In class, we have discussed how to start a business successfully but did not dive very deep into marketing strategies and online presence. This book gives you the basics for any business, to create leads online.   If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?   The exercise would involve creating a blog and social media channels for your business. Setting up all accounts and just starting to create content on them. In addition, a bonus to this exercise would be getting in touch with people in the same indus...
