2) I have never felt like giving up in this class, I have felt stumped though. The first time I felt stumped was when I was attempting to complete my first idea napkin. This assignment is intended to be a preliminary workup of your idea and how that idea is going to satisfy the needs of customers. The underlying objective I was able to depict from this assignment was the testing of ones ability and willingness to critique their own work to better identify and solve weaknesses. This really frustrated me because for the first time I was directly confronted with a major flaw in my solution and that is how will it continuously make money. I overcame this by staying focused on the objective which is to formulate a working business plan, and I will continue to push through with this mindset. I believe I was already tenacious before this class, but this class has made my tenacity grow and be more prevalent in my thinking.
3) My first tip for fostering skills in the development of tenacity would be time management. The assignments in this class can very easily creep up on you not allowing for enough time to produce good work. My second tip would be asking professor Pryor for feedback and help when needed. I have emailed professor Pryor multiple times regarding assignment objectives which has helped me achieve more thorough work. Lastly, I would recommend reading the news. For me, reading the news has helped me utilize real world events to shape my own thoughts and ideas. When developing a tenacious mindset, I just keep pushing. This class is not meant for you to fail, it is meant to help you think in a way we are not used to. We have the opportunity to brainstorm and implement ideas into our work without the influence of investors or any external environmental factors, this is the time to fail and learn from your mistakes without monetary repercussions and that has instilled a tenacious mindset in me.
