PART 1

Bearing in mind that the objective to achieve is to obtain better grades in college in my subjects

and also to study to create my own company in Canada, the development was not entirely

fruitful at the beginning, since due to labor issues and new opportunities the The times were

not met on the assigned days, however after the first week I began to make the readjustments

and caught up with the sessions that I had not attended, so I began to find that not everything

was as simple as I thought and that I It was going to cost a little more work, this caused me to

try harder and so I began to understand more and that was successfully reflected in the exams

in which I got high grades, on the company side, the results started being very good but at the

least expected moment, legal complications appeared, making me hire a lawyer specializing in

business law to advise me and find the best solution, I concluded Knowing that the project is

viable and I am starting the second stage of the business that is registered as a commercial

company.

Beyond having fulfilled the two goals satisfactorily, committing myself to things and more to the

goals that one sets makes one a more responsible person with a vision, and taking these two
things into account, it will be much easier to achieve. great things and be successful because

only he who perseveres achieves.

PART 2
A. The value of MBO as a performance improvement technique for you.

The best value of the MBO for the development of my tasks was that it allowed me to

make a realistic evaluation to the productivity in the time I spend studying and

researching on my project.

B. The value of MBO as a system of self-leadership for you.

The value of MBO was that it made me open my eyes to the different possibilities if we

allow ourselves to try, beyond achieving my goals, it seems more important to me to

improve as a person and this type of new habits makes me be better every day

C. Did goal setting work for you?

Yes, it helps me to establish priorities and use better my time and also help me to divide

my tasks and be more proactive

D. Are you satisfied with the results relative to your objectives?

Yes, because it allowed me to realize that despite not having started fulfilling all the

hours, but recovering them at the end made me more responsible and in turn made me

focus more on the moments I was studying or researching because I felt I should take

advantage of more times, although I could not meet 100% of the objective, I was very

close to it and even so I feel that I will obtain good results in the subject because I have

acquired most of the knowledge

 The most important thing I learned in this process was to distribute my time in an

efficient and orderly manner to be able to carry out one task at a time and dedicate the

necessary time to it so that I can make the most of it and extract as much information as

possible, which It also showed me that I am capable of doing what I set out to do.

G. Comment

Last but not least, I would like to talk about the complications that come with trying

to organize time and highlight the skills that can make us better, the problem is that we

are only going to know those skills when we are under pressure because it is the optimal

way to solve a problem or a situation and that is what makes us who we are.
