  This week I had a pre calc test and I failed it but as an entrepreneur, you fail all the time but you need to face adversity to get your business back up and running. My pre calc grade was solid but failing the test brought my grade down pretty low. I am doing everything in my power to get my grade up and facing the adversity. I wish I did better but entrepreneurs don’t want to fail. But they’ll face the adversity to make their business better and back up and running. Just like my pre calc grade and I.

  This week I went to a basketball game and our team was losing by a lot but they ended up coming back and winning the game which was very awesome. This relates to entrepreneurship because when you fail and or losing to your competition, you need to strategize what you can do better in order to out leverage your competition and get more customers. The team strategize more then the other team and they beat them by 10 points at the end of the game and they had determination to get the win and move on to the next round of districts.

  This week I had a precalculus project and I got a 17/30 on it and it was not the grade I was looking for because I pit a lot of time and effort in to complete it to the best of my ability and on time. This correlates to entrepreneurship because entrepreneurs fail all the time when they put all their time and effort into doing something they want to complete. After failure, it comes down to the fact to get your grade back up and see what you can do better for the next time. You fail but have to keep getting back up.

  What I learned this week that relates to entrepreneurship is time management. This was a very hard, long and stressful week and I couldn’t wait for the weekend. I had many practices, homework and quizzes and it was all piling up on me last minute. I fit it all in my schedule and I made it to the weekend. As an entrepreneur, you can not wait until the last minute for anything and you always need to be on top of your work and I learned that this week. You need to be efficient and plan your time well so you don’t get stressed out like I did this week and past weeks.
