1. Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 

 A behavior that you should develop is time management. These assignments are not supposed to just be weekly annoying assignments they are supposed to make you think about how to be an entrepreneur. I would advise you to take this assignments seriously and think hard about them rather than blow them off until last minute and simple have to get them done for credit.

 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?

 I felt like giving up when I saw the assignment list and how many things we have to do a week. What pulled me through was the lectures with the professor and how he explains that these assignments are supposed to make you think and behave like an entrepreneur which is why I am still here.

 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' ?

 I would tell them to get on top of the work sooner rather than later. Create a schedule where one or two days you are set to sit down for a couple of hours to do the homework so that you are not rushed at the end of the week. I would also say to set reminders on whatever you can to make sure that you turned in all of the work. This class has multiple assignments but also has multiple steps to those assignments and you will lose credit if you do not do all of them. Lastly take notes on the lectures, the information that is provided will help you on not only in the class but later on in life when you are trying to become an entrepreneur yourself.

    I agree with you when you say that organization is free. If I didn't stay on a solid schedule then my life would be hectic. Staying on top of things and having a nice schedule helps all the assignments seem less stressful. I also thought about giving up whenever I saw how many assignments we had to do a week. However, once I actually started doing it, it seemed a lot less stressful then what I originally thought.

    Dear Alex,

    As a student I can definitely attest to the tips that you would provide to future students as well as what you talk about behaviors you've shown to be productive in the class as well as how it feels when you want to give up. A big thing that students touch on in this post is to stay as far away from procrastination and to make sure to take notes on lectures.

    Hi Alex,

    Time management has been something I struggled with a lot in this course too. With a completely online course it is so easy to forget about assignments being due because you don’t go to class everyday. A tip I have used to fix this problem was getting a planner, writing down the assignment due dates and checking it every day.

After reading through all my post the one that sticks with me the most is the elevator pitch. Not only did I have to do this three times but I remember having some laughs with my roommates when they saw me all dressed up just to go in my room to record myself. I also liked this one the most because I believe that I am a good presenter and I like to practice those types of presentations whether it be about myself or a product. I don’t believe that I am an entrepreneur but I think that I have created more of a mindset like one. As the semester went on and I had to continue doing assignments on the same topic it made me continue to look deeper in my market or consumer or product which I think is important for an entrepreneur to have. Now that I have done this I think that if I was to create something real I would know somewhat how to go about it and how to accomplish this plan with the mindset that I learned from this class. I would tell a student that is coming ...

Opportunity: There is an unmet need for this opportunity within the University of Florida campus and other college campuses. The need is for parking on campus when driving to your designated classes or building. This opportunity will solve the need of easy parking because it will have coordinated parking schedules with the building and the schedule of the student or faculty. This opportunity has been a need for quite some time and the only way that UF is trying to solve it so far is by building more parking garages which is creating parking but not convenient to the students or staff. Innovation:  The service that I will provide a valet system that will help students, faculty, and staff park their cars in an orderly and quick fashion. How it works is valet employees will be stationed at major buildings and will drive the students, faculty, and staffs car to designated parking garages for that specific building. The student or staff member can drive up to the buil...

1.      I plan to exit the market and sell in the next 5 years. Before I do this though I will need to expand my market a little more rather than just keeping my service on one campus. If I can get my service on most of the University across the united states then I will have a better offer for this business which I will most likely accept. 2.      I selected this strategy so that I do not have to pay attention to the service anymore. I created this service partly because I am in college but once I am out I will not understand what the next need is. 3.      I never thought of my exit strategy until now so I don’t believe that it has influence my other decisions. It has influence my growth intentions because I would like to make a large profit from this service which will only happen if it is produced on more campuses.
