In the whole performance task for this subject, it was definitely not easy since this definitely challenged my leadership skills and habits. Throughout the whole project, we really needed to prioritize efficiently and effectively helping each other to get all of our tasks done. All of the marketing performance tasks weren’t easy at all since firstly they were plenty. Despite them being plenty though, we worked as a team to do all of our tasks together. We set our goals straight of thinking ahead of ways on how to produce good output while working together.   Secondly, we had to showcase the business we have chosen to help them improve their aspect in marketing. This included all the different strategies, and possible ways to promote Miu the Label. Like starting off by making a website as this is a long term strategy that could be used for the business. It can contain all the different information about Miu the Label and all the clothes they will be selling any many more. There were also plenty more strategies thought of, evaluation and control methods, marketing activities and many more ideas on how to market Miu the Label to consumers. Being able to think of all of that right away wasn’t easy. We needed to think of our wellbeing to be able to think strategically and properly on producing a good outcome. We had to take care of ourselves as a team and have a balanced program for self renewal from time to time. We needed to take breaks. Avoid ourselves from exhaustion and burnout after doing all of our performance tasks. This meant focusing on certain aspects of our health to gain rest. Such as physical health, social/emotional health, mental health, and spiritual health. Knowing what sharpening the saw was really important since this would help us rest from time to time. This would help us improve ourselves on the different aspects health-wise even for a bit. As a team, knowing what it meant to rest was important. It was like a recharge for us to avoid burn out or getting too tired. Without knowing what that meant. We wouldn’t have been able to produce and think of good outcomes as a group for the preparation of the creation on the marketing materials, strategies, etc, for Miu the Label.

As the second term ends, I had many realizations about myself and the subject marketing. These realizations were there to make me learn from my mistakes, improve on them in the future, or even be proud of what I have done or what I have achieved and accomplished so far. The greatest realizations I had about myself was that I really need to further improve myself on managing my time to accomplish the different tasks I had to do, to rest, to have time to myself, and successfully enjoy what I currently have in life. Managing my time is something that I have always struggled with ever since the pandemic, laziness always kicks in since I would tend to get unmotivated and procrastinate on the different tasks I do. I usually would submit late in multiple tasks because of being tired and not having enough time to do tasks. I would be emotionally unstable due to exhaustion and burnout from school. Managing my time is something I really have to work on. Since every day has a limited time. There are deadlines, the words “due at 11:59 PM” are what pressures me. Sometimes I just disregard this because I know what would happen anyways. I would submit late eventually. Well from now on, I realized I should’ve prioritized my assignments first and managed my time for school to eventually rest once my assignments are over. I now will always remember the habit “Sharpening the Saw” as this reminds me to take breaks. Improve myself through resting even for a while. I need this to keep in mind the goal of being able to accomplish my tasks while being physically and mentally stable to do it. To produce good outcomes needed. My greatest realization now for Marketing is that this subject isn’t easy. When the term started, I thought that this would be a very easy subject. Just create marketing materials, posters, and graphics to promote products but no it isn’t. Marketing is more than that. In the subject Marketing, you have to know how to price your products properly, find ways to attract customers, build customer loyalty, build brand awareness, and many more. Marketing is the activity of building your business to introduce it to the market and show what you have to offer. Marketing also means creating good packaging, good commercials, good benefits of your products, and many more. I personally think that Marketing will be a very important and useful subject in the future as a future Lasallian entrepreneur since this will help me remember and apply the different marketing methods to successfully launch my business to the market. As a future entrepreneur, marketing will help me know how to connect with my customers to build loyalty with them and even build good relationships with them. Through marketing I will have the ability to study the different strategies that currently are a trend in the market too. This will help me successfully help provide consumers good products and services as a future entrepreneur. As the term ends, I’ve made great realizations about myself and the subject Marketing. I will never forget these as I will use this to improve myself in the future. To learn from my mistakes and avoid making them in the future again.
