My Entrepreneurship Journey

16A – What’s Your Secret Sauce? Five ways in which I am human capital: 1.      Perspective – in my years of schooling and my experience at work I have learned one of the most important things to have when solving a problem or dealing with others is perspective. Perspective has allowed me to solve problems by thinking about everyone who is being affected. Having perspective goes hand-in-hand with being open minded.

The class is very consistent, three blog posts each week, two comments on other posts for each assignment, and one quiz every Monday.
