14A- Halfway Reflection

-
1) Tenaciousness is a competency.

 Throughout this semester, I have developed behaviors to keep up with the requirements of the course. One of the things I do is to make sure to set aside two days of the week for this class. One of the days I do the assignments for the week and the other day I watch the lectures, take the quiz, and comment on the posts of peers. Also, I try to read over the assignments in advance to prepare for how long they will take me. When I'm working on these assignments I do my best to think outside of the box so that I can answer the questions in the best way possible. 

 2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. 

 Earlier this semester I had a week where I had two exams and three assignments for this class. I thought about not doing one of the assignments because I had to prioritize studying. It would've been easy to not do the assignment because at the beginning of that week I wasn't feeling motivated for school due to personal reasons. I pushed through and ended up getting everything done even if I didn't get much sleep that week. I thought about my future and how getting this done is one step closer to reaching my goals. This thought pulled me through. I feel that the in last two months I have developed a tenacious attitude to push through when things aren't going how I would like. 
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' 

 1. Think about the big picture. If you focus on the end goal it becomes easier to push through and get tasks done. 

 2. Focus on finding a way to improve on each assignment so that the tenacious mindset can be embedded in your brain. 

 3. Make being disciplined a priority in your life. If we can avoid procrastination, it's easier to develop a tenacious mindset because it comes naturally with discipline.

    Hi Felipe,
    I really like how you manage your time for this course and i also like that you give your best in each assignment. It is great that you got things done even when you had a lot to do and when you where not motivated a lot. It happens the same to me sometimes I do not feel like do in it but there is no better feeling than when you get everything done.

In this day and age consumers want to make their life as easy as simple and easy as possible. Customers want to have the best experience possible when they go to the store and this is the main reason why big retailers are willing to spend loads of money on the customer experience. There will be a high demand among retailers for this product because not only will it increase the number of customers that come to their store, it will also have a positive effect on their brand. By having the latest self-scanner available on the market they will be viewed as a company that values innovation.  Innovation:  My idea is to sell a highly-functional self-scanner so that every register can be occupied with one of th

26A- Celebrating Failure

-
Earlier this semester I decided I wanted to try the ketogenic diet. I heard of all the health benefits this diet could bring and the success people have had losing weight with it. I set a goal to go keto until the end of the semester. I slowly starting taking out certain foods from my diet such as potatoes, pasta, and bread. Each of these foods made up a major part of my diet so I was expecting to see results soon. After about two weeks, I noticed that my energy was increasing and I wasn't feeling so bloated all the time. It was getting hard to handle my cravings but I was satisfied with the results. By the time February came around, I had lost 10 pounds. Around this time, I started to miss pasta more than anything. Italian food has always been my favorite and I was having a weak moment. One weekend my mom made my favorite carbonara pasta and I decided to have a plate. It tasted like the best pasta I'd ever had in my life after a month and a half of being keto. As a result, I d

4A- Forming an Opportunity Belief

-
I do believe that an opportunity exists. The unmet need is universal self-checkout lines. Any business with a register would have a need for this. The reason being is that if all registers were self-checkout then the store could allocate more employees to stocking or reduce the cost of employment by firing inefficient workers. Although this requires someone to check receipts at the exit, but this cost is minuscule compared to the amount the store would be saving. This is a need that has existed, and certain corporations have begun their stride towards it. I am 80% sure that this opportunity exists. The prototypical customer would be an owner or manager of a store with a register within it. Due to a wide personal network, my father has a few friends that own their own stores. I spoke with a 7-11 owner and from my interview with him one of the key concerns is labor productivity. He has had this need ever since he opened this business. As of right now, to counter the lack of productivit
