W07 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal Final Blog

 Date: 09/05/2022

  • As I wrap up my time in this class, the one thing that I feel like that I would share with others about what I learned is the importance of knowing yourself, counseling with God, and finding ways to constantly improve. Throughout the entirety of this class, I always felt inspired by the stories of those who sought ways to find what their true passions, found ways to improve through the guidance of God, and learned from mistakes they made and found ways to become even better from them. I don't think that you could learn anything better than those simple concepts especially for those seeking to become entrepreneurs.
  • My last bit of advice for someone wanting to begin the entrepreneur journey would be to start preparing now. If there is one thing that I learned from the various successful entrepreneurs that we studied in this class, it would be that they started creating business plans, visions, ethical guardrails, and created support systems for themselves before they even began their journey. The people who did these things not only were able to accomplish their dreams, but they also were able to find the "balance" they needed in their life, and never strayed away from who they really were. The moment that you forget who you are and are motivated by worldly things, that is when you begin to fail.
  • If I had only one chance to give my last lecture, I would tell those seeking to become entrepreneurs to not only find ways to become successful on their own, but to also find ways to help those around them. The greatest thing that we can do during our time on Earth is find ways to serve those around us. As entrepreneurs we have the capability to provide services and products that will improve and help people on a daily basis. As we do these things we will become happier people, we will be blessed for our efforts, and we will lessen our chances of being tempted by the adversary, which are all crucial for those seeking to become successful entrepreneurs.

W03 Reflection

 Date: 08/10/2022 There were many takeaways that I got while watching, "A Hero's Journey", but the main ones that stood out to me were:  1. We need to learn how to listen and ask questions rather than focus on being the smartest person in the room 2.Reflect on the the things that you lose track of time doing, and find ways to pursue them. 3.Ask the people around you what you are good at  4.Find a way to satisfy a need in the world These things stood out to me the most because I have been struggling and trying to figure out my divine potential. I have so many passions, goals, and ambitions, but I often struggle to know what is best for me. I have been counseling with the Lord and my family for those answers, but I feel that this talk was part of my answer. I feel that once I heard these ideas, I had a better understanding of how I should move forward and now have a concrete plan to figure out what makes me the person I am and how I can use my talents and gifts to become wh...

W07 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journey

 Date: 09/05/2022 This week the things that stood out to me the most, were the ideas of having an attitude of gratitude and being a constant learner. The reason these things stood out most to me are because I feel like I lack a lot in both of these. I often find myself being very pessimistic and negative and letting the stress and possible negative outcomes rule how I think. I don't look at the hopeful things and a lot of that is because of the lack of gratitude that I often have. I felt very inspired as I studied this week, that I need to start looking for and focusing on all the amazing blessings that I have in my life especially when things don't seem to be going the best. I know that if I start doing this, I will become a happier, more uplifting person, and that I will find more success in my life. In regard to being a constant learner, I feel inspired that I need to find ways to continue to learn and grow after I graduate. I am a senior right now, and the fall semester wil...

W04 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 Date 08/19/2022 As we studied the overview of the 7 habits, there was one in particular that stood out to me the most and that was, "Begin with the end in mind." The reason that this one stood out to me so much is because I have always struggled with anxiety. A lot of my anxiety debilitates me from doing things, and causes me to put the future in a negative light. I always worry about money, my future home, providing for future children, the possible negative situations that could or could not happen, and all of the things that come with growing up. As I read the overview of this habit, and sat and thought about what I would want my "ending" to look like, it made me come to an important realization. When I am at the end of my life, I don't want to look back and think about all the things I missed out on, and all the time I sat contemplating about the future. I don't want to sit and think about what I missed out in the present because I was so worried about ...
