Application & Reflection

1.3.9 — Reflection Prompt

Consider your current entrepreneurial context — your decisions, habits, patterns of response, and the challenges you are presently navigating. Reflect deeply on how you show up when uncertainty increases or progress slows.

Which of the three attributes — grit, adaptability, or confidence — requires the most intentional development for you to strengthen your capacity to lead under long-term uncertainty?

In your response, aim to:

  • Identify the attribute you feel is currently underdeveloped or inconsistently expressed.
  • Describe how it presently affects your decision-making, execution, or emotional experience as a leader.
  • Articulate why developing this attribute now matters, given your current stage, goals, and operational realities.

Optional but recommended:
Write one sentence beginning with:
“If I strengthened this attribute, I would…”

Use this reflection to create clarity — not judgment. The goal is awareness, alignment, and intentional growth as you continue building the psychological foundations of long-term entrepreneurial execution.

🪞 Reflection Focus

Treat this prompt as a mirror rather than an evaluation. Your task is not to judge yourself, but to observe patterns: where you persist, where you adjust, and where you hesitate. Naming the attribute that needs development is the first step toward strengthening it through deliberate practice, experience, and ongoing reflection.
