A major lesson that i've learned over time that shaped me as person over time as a person is that whenever you want to get something accomplished in life you will fail whether its one time or one hundred times, all that matters is that the failures you encounter makes you strive harder and you get back up to accomplish whatever you are trying to succeed at. This is a vital tool because it shows that you are strong and determined to get what you want and won't let failure defeat you but strengthen you instead.
The first time that i was faced with this problem was when i was in the ninth grade and wanted a limited pair of shoes that were releasing in january and i didn't have money to buy them ands wasn't old enough to get a job for the shoes. …show more content…
So i got all of the information and started posting my shoes and the wait began to sell my shoes as soon as possible because the sneaker release was just around the corner and i had a goal to reach. So about two weeks went by and i had no offers on any of the two shoes i had for sale which made me start to get frustrated because i had less than 5 weeks to go and i was desperate to sell these shoes. So since i had no ideas i started to drop the price of each shoe by forty dollars hoping that would get people interested but it didn't work because i went another two weeks with no offers on someone interested in buying my shoes. It came down to the fact that i was willing to just give up and realize that i wasn't thinking realistically and i should just ask my parents to buy the shoes but i slept on the idea and decided that i worked too hard and was too close to give up and i didn't want to be the type of person who gives up when their so close to the finish. So i went and posted up the shoes one more time and this time add better words to describe the shoes and take high quality pictures of them and it worked because within 3 days of posting the AD for the shoes my inbox started pouring with offers of people trying to buy my shoes which is when i knew i had succeeded with one week still to spare.
As a conclusion this made me understand business more
