# data[].attributes.body
One limitation is lack of confidence to put myself out there and talk to local businesses about collaborating with me

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will turn this into an opportunity to hone my messaging about the value of this business

# data[].attributes.body
Time and energy have been a limitation of mine. With a full time job, I find myself struggling to find the time to work on my project.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I need to leverage AI more to help me with my project.

# data[].attributes.body
Balancing Activism, This Fellowship and University and feeling burnout.

# data[].attributes.body
I depend a lot on external validation.

# data[].attributes.body
I currently haven't got much time to work on my project because of the work I'm currently doing for my company exhausted me

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Try to see the project that I'm working on bV as refreshing activities instead of "Work" so that I can do it in the weekends or such without feeling affraid of being drained or not excited about it

# data[].attributes.body
Imposter Syndrome

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing my project right now is the difficulty of being taken seriously when trying to engage with factories and industry stakeholders due to my age and student status.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
To turn this limitation into an opportunity, I plan to collaborate with local NGOs and municipal programs to build a recognized platform, while developing a measurable pilot project to foster institutional trust. Additionally, seeking mentorship from sustainability professionals will strengthen my network and credibility, helping to transform this early challenge into a foundation for long-term growth.

# data[].attributes.body
getting universities onboard to work with me

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Once I get one university I can refer it to another 

# data[].attributes.body
Networking with industry leaders to gain traction for my project

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
By continuously reaching out until someone finally is receptive, this can lead to new connections that are beneficial as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Time is a limitation slowing my project

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I'm currently working full time and pursuing my Masters Degree part-time as well. Given the various priorities, I feel that I'm not able to dedicate as much time as I''d like towards my project. Even if it's thirty minutes, I am going to allot some time for the project, in my schedule

# data[].attributes.body
The primary limitation is lack of carbon buyer relationships

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I'll turn this into opportunity by outreaching to people. Their demand will pull product and business model validation simultaneously, making buyers co-validators instead of late-stage gatekeepers. This reframes a constraint into competitive advantage.

# data[].attributes.body
Bro, it's mental block.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
i'll take this opportunity to learn to shift to experimentalism.

# data[].attributes.body
1.I feel that I want to produce a perfect product. which is 100% amazing. 2.Accessibility to fabrication tools.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
1.I am shifting to an experimentation and iterative mindset which makes me take action. Before I used to be procrastinating on taking actions as it felt small things. But now I feel just small things make me push myself to a flow state.
2.Made a collaboration with a fab lab near my place in exchange of teaching someone new to tools

# data[].attributes.body
The low morale of my community in the informal settlement, which hinders their ability to sort plastic waste at the source, limits my capacity to acquire plastic waste for recycling.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I intend to organize a community sensitization event to educate my community on the importance of sorting plastic waste at the source, thereby increasing the recycling rate.

# data[].attributes.body
Not knowing how to make it tangible

# data[].attributes.body
The limitation I'm facing on is time management, because I'm trying to balance my studies, coordinate my classroom's academic materials, doing research, working, and also trying to build my vissionary project

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
This limitation is teaching me to prioritize my task and to finish each one more effectively so I don't have to rush anything at last minute. It also reminds me to take breaks between work, making me less lazy and more productive. 

# data[].attributes.body
The lack of a support system physically with me to support me.

# data[].attributes.body
I am struggling with time constaints with juggling a busy work period with my project, preventing me from being able to invest the hours I need to in this expereimental phase. Also struggling with perfectionism, scared to begin in case it doesnt come out as I image the first time.

# data[].attributes.body
time constrain

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know how to code :( at least not to the level of scaling an app!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will use this as an opportunity for self-improvement. I will grow in my vulnerability and ask for help as well as start trying to learn these things for myself!

# data[].attributes.body
My limitation is skills gap in my project as it requires a lot of science

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will take courses that education on fuel production and perhaps look for people who are experts in the field to assist me

# data[].attributes.body
I have been occupied with too many work and tasks with mismanaged work. I am also stuck with perfectionism.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
The adaptation to these will give a huge boost to my career and I will start organizing and allocating time for my tasks.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
My main limitation is not having a set space/house/office to set up the lab to begin with. I am reframing this limitation, making the lab an itinerant set of workshops, events and courses that can borrow other spaces until I can figure out a way to get my own space. This way I can test my idea in different markets, find those who are more receptive, and rework my initial offer to the public, adapting it to what resonates with my main client base.

# data[].attributes.body
Time constraints. I need a formal job to finance my project idea but my job is so consuming and ends up taking most of my time. I have considered quitting, but im not sure that would be the best course of action at this exact moment.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
The skills I gain at work are important to running an initiative and building on my project management skills. While I am here, I will learn as much as I can and get not only financial capital but also social, human, emotional capital and build connections necessary to take my project to the next level.  

# data[].attributes.body
Juggling multiple internships and other academic commitments exhausts me and sometimes I just feel overwhelmed.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I can improve my decision making skills and set my own priorities 

# data[].attributes.body
my ict skills are low and so limit the capacity advancing my project technologically.

# data[].attributes.body
too many commitments

# data[].attributes.body
I have a constraint of budget to embark my project. However, this is a good opportunity for me to unleash all the limitation and have a significant impact on the planet.

# data[].attributes.body
the major limitation of my project is finding a colloborator for scaling up and pilot tests

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
By connecting to networks and talking to people working in this field I believe i can overcome this
Researching about other players in this feild and how they overcome this will be also beneficial

# data[].attributes.body
The problem I am facing right now is creating the right conditions for the small organic farming project I am planning to start. To achieve this, I am exploring a lot of online resources, speaking regularly with farmers, and interacting with experts in this field.

# data[].attributes.body
My limitation is the access to technologies like satellite that are used to monitor farms and generate credits

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will reach out to a number of service providers with suggestion of collaboration to help me decrease the high upfront costs that are associated with the initiation of my project

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing my project right now is the gap between the scale of the raw material and the scale of my processing capacity. Collecting banana residues from the field and then trying to cut, blend, and dry them in a small lab setup is slow, inefficient, and not representative of real industrial conditions.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
This limitation are also an opportunity to prototype the next level of scale: I can start evaluating the purchase of larger machines  that are still “pilot scale” but closer to what a small factory would use. In parallel, I can explore renting or requesting permission to use equipment at our university, so we can run more realistic trials without immediately investing huge amounts of money. These steps would not only speed up experimentation but also generate data to design a future semi-industrial pilot.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I have is lack of time

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I have to analyse what are the most important parts of my life, understanding what matters most and what doesn't

# data[].attributes.body
One of my limitations is Time and Energy. I have quiet a number of priorities battling for my attention.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Time management has to be one skill that I should develop, so that I can schedule progress for everything. This can ensure that I am in control of every task and planned progress will therefore be attainable.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing me down is that I'm not investing enough time on my Project due to starting a new masters degree overseas.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I'll turn this into an opportunity starting by scheduling one day every week to work solely on my project. Hopefully I can prove to myself this is a commitment I can make.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing me down right now is dependency on resources such as labour and raw materials

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I need to build my capacity in developing stronger relations and alliances.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing my project right now is my lack of technical skills and access to resources needed to prototype EcoSequester. I have a clear concept and research foundation, but I’m limited by my ability to physically test or develop the paint’s carbon-sequestering properties. To turn this into an opportunity, I plan to reach out to local sustainability labs, university material science departments, and online innovation networks to collaborate and learn the technical aspects of prototyping.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I face is personal style. I like to nurture an idea without feeling the pressure of time constraints.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I  can turn this into an opportunity by creating more structure around my time usage 

# data[].attributes.body
I do not have adequate financial resources to start my project

# data[].attributes.body
External dependencies. My project requires partnership and approvals by government organizations

# data[].attributes.body
Only me doing this work is impossible. it takes huge time and massive knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have enough time to spare due to being a college student and having a very heavy workload.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will learn a new time management skill and lead my team more efficiently to divide the workload better.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation is, I have Limited technical knowledge and tools In mangrove restoration techniques and monitoring which slows progress. Today the restoration project are very keen on those matters to avoid doing zero work.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I need to partner with experts (e.g., Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, or environmental organizations) to provide training and mentorship while building local capacity.

# data[].attributes.body
material to chooose

# data[].attributes.body
I am not able to work on field for my project, I can turn this into an opportunity by trying my best to connect with the same people online, this will teach me how to network online.

# data[].attributes.body
I struggle with time management, especially given all my other responsibilities.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
This gives me a chance to better my time management skills by learning new techniques and strategies to be more efficient and productive. These are skills I will benefit from in my personal, academic, and work life. 

# data[].attributes.body
I believe to some extend the technical know-how and changing assumptions is a roadblock for me

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I ill connect with my peers and mentors to get the skillset required for technical work and also reach out to the community as I feel stuck with any assumptions

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing my project right now is my limited knowledge of satellite technology and data, which are vital for powering KIASI’s weather prediction and crop advisory features

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I see it as an opportunity to expand my technical capacity and strengthen the foundation of my project. To address this, I have enrolled in the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate program, where I’m learning how to collect, analyze, and interpret data; skills that will directly enhance KIASI’s ability to process satellite information for local farming insights

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation is my time managment.

I struggle to balance many things in my life, and i usually feel overwhelmed by so many, so at the end of the day I don't do anything. Changing that, though!

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I'm starting to act step by step by changing this, and concentrate in one thing at a time. 

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing down my project is my tendency toward perfectionism in everything I do. This mindset becomes even more pronounced when I’m working in areas where I lack experience or knowledge. Since my project involves both AI and sustainability in architecture, I often feel overwhelmed by the technical complexities of AI: how to integrate the tools, how to program, etc. Because I didn’t study computer science and this field is new to me. Although I’m passionate about computers and AI and enjoy learning about them, I keep hesitating and revising things over and over, trying to get everything right on the first try, which slows my progress significantly. On the sustainability side, even though I took a diploma last year to learn more, I realized I only understand a small fraction of this vast specialty within architecture, and that also makes me hesitant to take concrete steps for fear of missing important aspects.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Instead of waiting until I have a complete MVP, I will reach out for help from professors and knowledgeable people I know. I always thought I needed to have the platform ready before talking to anyone, but months keep passing and it’s still not finished. So now, I prefer to simply sit down for a coffee with teachers and experts and have an honest, natural conversation without expectations. This will help me break down the mental barriers and complexity I’ve built up in my mind. Maybe things will turn out better than I imagine, and there’s nothing wrong with asking for help when you’re just getting started.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I face is getting word of our project out to the masses and also providing sufficient experiences / content to keep them engaged.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Withdrawing from the need to endlessly post content and understand what is the most incisive and helpful posts that we can share for deep engagement so our audiences gain value from what we are doing. Partnering up with budding creators and platforming other workshops to lessen the pressure of needing to deliver with only two of us.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that I struggle with mindset block, time and energy and my personal working style. I feel sometimes that my project is not good enough but thankfully I was able to ally myself with a friend and now I am not alone in the journey of bringing this project to life. This also helps because in my personal working stye I find it really hard to be able to concentrate when I am working on my own. Additionally I will have more time to work on it because now I am unemployed :/

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I'm facing is self-doubt

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I actively try to turn this limitation into opportunity by doing the best I can, applying everything I'm interested in although I'm not sure if I'm the profile they are looking for. I just try, try and try. Although I'm close to losing hope, I try to keep going.

# data[].attributes.body
Limitation: Limited funding to scale ReEarth Gallery exhibitions.

Opportunity & Steps:
Turn this into a chance to innovate low-cost, high-impact storytelling. Launch a micro-funding campaign with short visuals to attract local support. Partner with cultural centers and eco-brands for space or in-kind resources. Apply for small grants using existing recognitions. Mobilize volunteers and students through skill-sharing. Use one pilot event to collect impact data and strengthen future proposals.

# data[].attributes.body
There are no so many water bodies or swamps in my region

We've come up with the use of artificial ponds to rare fish

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest limitation right now is not having enough time to further develop my idea and not knowing exactly how or where to start.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I would have to plan my time more efficiently and now that I have a few major personal and work projects settled- I can invest more time to my BV project. I would need to make my project and tasks more bite sized so that it will be less overwhelming and more feasible to complete. 

# data[].attributes.body
The limitation is that we are a grup and we dont have a specific plan

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Maybe I can talk with everyone and talk about future plans

# data[].attributes.body
External dependency: waiting for city approval to start the community garden.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will use this time to strengthen the project’s foundation, by engaging the community, testing small-scale prototypes, and collecting evidence of impact.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I have is the time and energy limitation. As I am currently in the 12th grade of a rigorous curriculum, I find it hard to juggle my project and school.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
This limitation is teaching me how to structure my time better, let go of unecessary distractions and prioritise whats important while taking rest.

# data[].attributes.body
community adoption

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Testing it out with the community and getting feedback from them.

# data[].attributes.body
one of limitation i have is skills of fish management ,but i am eager to learn from field experts so i have to over come that challenge

# data[].attributes.body
A limitation slowing my project down is feeling stuck. To turn this into an opportunity l will give myself one weekly task to easily track my progress and not overwhelm myself

# data[].attributes.body
limited time management since iam still studying and managing this project

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will prioritize effective time management schedulign each task for clarity

# data[].attributes.body
Right nowwww one limitation slowing my project is the lack of local partners to run a real pilot, tbh i plan to turn this into an opportunity by mapping potential allies, reaching out to a few municipalities and park rangers, and testing a small MVP with SMS or WhatsApp alerts, thiss first pilot will help us collect real evidence, build trust, and use the results to attract more support and funding for Fire Sentinel.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I’ll turn it into an opportunity by finding a few local allies, codesigning a tiny pilot with them, and running simple whatsApp alerts for 4 weeks. We’ll track clear before/after results, collect quotes and photos, and share a short one-pager. Those proof points will help us secure more partners and small grants to scale Fire Sentinel.

# data[].attributes.body
The hardest part of my project right now is reaching out to ordinary people. When I go to networking events and talk to people who already have some environmental awareness, I often ask them what exactly stops them from segregating waste. But even as I ask that, I realize my question needs refinement because I am not sure what I should be asking or how to frame it better.

Talking to people is not really the issue; I know they would probably be honest with me. The real challenge is my hesitation.

So maybe my next step is this:

Use professional networks to refine my questions, to dig deeper and identify the real barriers.

With everyday people, find a natural starting point, something that connects to their concerns, and then build the conversation from there.

# data[].attributes.body
The limitation I face is balancing the project with school and also managing to start even with fear of whether it will work.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Managing one thing at a time, it may not seem as big as it is and may even open a door for me.

# data[].attributes.body
getting courage to ask people to try it out

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Start with friends and ask them to share it 

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of knowledge of the industry that I want to impact

# data[].attributes.body
I have reoccuring mindset blocks where i stop believing I am worthy or capable. They are so crippling that I cant work or do anything when I am feeling that way.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I can, learn more about it Myself and why this is, and develop strategies to feel better about myself, and develop new beliefs about myself by excercising my potential, skillsets and froming new relationships that can help rewrite my mindset over time.

# data[].attributes.body
i have different limitations: i feel secure about developing new technology but i will need time. Sometimes i feel insecure about my solutions, and i would say that i depend on other people to applie the solution and that makes me feel unsecure

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
i think that i could make real relationships with farmers and no just a working in team relationship , that way i could modified my solution and feel more secure about it and create a better solution to them 

# data[].attributes.body
I am living in a different place than my project area, and that is proving to be a problem as I am able to do no research, no prototyping, and no work. I also need to develop a clear plan for my project.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will turn this limitation into an opportunity by learning from the systems that I have access to in this new space. 

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing my project is limited funding and resources in Africa since it’s still in the idea and business plan stage.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I’m turning this into an opportunity by building partnerships, improving my plan, and seeking grants to bring the vision to life.

# data[].attributes.body
Technical skills gap (microgrid sizing, power electronics, IoT logging, AI forecasting).

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
Build a desk-scale micro-pilot and earn one credential. Block four 90-minute sprints (OpenDSS/HOMER sim, inverter/BMS wiring, MQTT telemetry, simple forecaster). Produce a small artifact each sprint. Recruit one mentor and one peer for weekly 20-minute reviews. Run a seven-day data log, visualize results, deliver a 30-minute teach-back. Capture a one-page SOP so others can repeat it.

# data[].attributes.body
I dont have enough funding to do the project since it needs a significant initial cost, and I also have some limitation in terms of time constraint

# data[].attributes.body
one limitation l'm currently facing is turning my idea into a feasible solution with limited resources and research in that are....

# data[].attributes.body
One of the few limitation are the lack of data and fear of not being perfect.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I understood that, I dont have to reinvent the wheel, rather have to look for the availabel sources and how to leverage them. Also, as the module says to experiment rather than making it perfect.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I face is time and energy. I am juggling a variety of responsibilities including the fellowship, school, and work.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
This limitation is an opportunity to develop my time management skills. If I take good care of my mind, body, and schedule, I will be able to stay on top of my workload. 

# data[].attributes.body
My project involves a lot of qualitative data and I don't have the technical knowledge to categorize / manage this data

# data[].attributes.body
I lack tech expertise,

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest limitation is technical know how of extracting the nutients from food wastes hygenically.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I'll take this challenge as an opportunity to learn deeper using available online materials on how I can achieve my goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like i am not able to give enough time to my project, due to my ongoing university things

# data[].attributes.body
I always run for perfectionism which get me delay in my project timeline.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
May be trying in uncertainty and doing some experiments.

# data[].attributes.body
my main limitation is lack of time and organization tu find business to coolaborate with, I have some contacts but I wish I could talk to more people

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have the technical skills to build my prototype but im seeing that I can leverage making connections with local artisans. And maybe learn a bit of welding and wood working

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I currently face is external dependencies. For instance, I would like to contact schools and existing similar project initiatives to conduct a needs assessment. However, I still need to strengthen my networks and collaborations to effectively access these connections.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation slowing my project is discipline and management.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I will turn this limitation into opportunity by realising that I am my own boss and I have to push myself and submit to my project goals no matter what.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm stuck with the software side of the mobile app and the website for the project. My mentor gave me some website links to try yo create that mobile app in an easier way.

one limitation was in my skills gap. I wanted to develop an application and my skills are limited. l am still trying to learning online though.

# data[].attributes.body
Time and energy is slowing me down - I have many commitments on me that I end up not being so good at any of them.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
A. Rank all my commitments according to priority levels consindering timelines, resources
B. Start with the highest priority 
C. End with the least

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have enough technical knowledge about business management.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
I guess I would turn this into an opportunity by looking for mentors and also refining the basics I have. 

# data[].attributes.body
It's hard to keep people on track and make them feel excited and motivated about what we are doing.

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I am currently facing with my project is self-doubt. Sometimes I doubt the impact of my project and so I often find myself changing it a 100 times but once I overcome that mental block, I truly believe my project will take off!

# data[].attributes.body
One limitation I have is a skill gap.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.CEJn9xRM
This motivates me to continously want to learn and upskill in key areas that matter most and also pushes me to building a diverse team to fill my skill gap.

# data[].attributes.body
Right now, getting a steady amount of clean plastic to facilitate my project is hard. Schools are busy and collecting trash well is a new habit.
