As a business economics student in a sales class, a lot of new terminologies and tactics have been mentioned to me throughout the first months of this course. One topic that has stuck with me thus far is being ok with being told \u2018no\u2019. In the context of sales and entrepreneurship, “buoyancy” typically refers to the ability of a salesperson (the entrepreneur) to remain afloat or resilient in challenging circumstances, like economic downturns, market changes, competitive pressures, or just a lack of morale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s about maintaining momentum, adaptability, and positivity even when facing obstacles or setbacks. As a salesperson, facing all of this is a very common occurrence. This can be applied in a broad sense, in accordance with almost every career field. Regarding personal occurrences in my life, overcoming adversity has been a learning curve for me, as I grew up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted to be the best at everything I could be whether that would be school, sports, or other extracurriculars. I was pushed by my parents to be good as well, which developed into pressure that I couldn\u2019t handle. The pressure that they gave me was healthy, but I took it as pleasing them instead of myself. In high school, it started crumbling when I re-made JV basketball my sophomore year, in hopes of getting a spot on the varsity team (such a cliche experience now). It crushed me and I accepted it. I played poorly the entire season and rode pine for the second half of it. I wanted to quit, I wasn\u2019t happy, and I took it as \u2018not pleasing my dad\u2019 (he couldn\u2019t have cared less). It took me sitting down with my entire family and them telling me that they couldn\u2019t give a crap if I was on varsity or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Facing adversity in the workplace and being buoyant is a very common occurrence in today\u2019s work world. Learning how to roll with the punches is something I am still working on, but I do think I\u2019ve gotten better at the fact. Being resilient, adapting to change, persistent, and innovative all make up the subcategories of being a buoyant entrepreneur. Navigating these turbulent waters is an ever-going battle, but facing adversity before in life has given me pointers on how to pursue buoyancy as a college student, and in my future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
