W07 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 

Based on the 7 habits from the W07 Study: Moving Forward With a Driving Passion activity, respond to the following questions:

·         Which of the 7 habits has the most meaning for you?

I had previously read the book “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” several years ago. Reading again about the 7 habits this week was a great reminder. All seven of them are important and meaningful to me. If I had to choose one that has the most meaning, I think it would be habit number one. Be Proactive. The readings quote the main idea for this habit by saying “We can choose our own response to any signals or information we receive. We have the ability to influence our own actions. Therefore, being proactive means to actively choose what our response will be in any situation rather than to react blindly.”

I love the idea of not reacting blindly. In my life, this is huge. I have realized that I have great power within my own home to create the climate. When I am living and reacting intentionally and being proactive about my choices, there is a great benefit in my life.

·         Why will the 7 habits help you fill your life with passion and purpose as you seek to achieve both a private and public victory?

The 7 habits will help me fill my life with passion and purpose as I seek to achieve a private and public victory, because once all of the habits are mastered I will be living a life true to myself and making intentional choices. I will have taken charge or my life and realized that I am not a victim to my circumstances- there is great power in this.

I enjoyed this week and all of the content that we studied. I believe that the things I am learning in this course are making me the best version of myself.

W04 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

We've wrapped up another amazing week of school. Each week I keep thinking that the content of the course can't get and better, and each week it does. Thinking this week about how I will measure my life really sparked some deep thinking and reflection for me. A life well lived really is about the small things. It is about being intentional with our time. And it is about doing good. Last week we lost a young member of our ward. He died unexpectedly and was a young husband and father. His services were a beautiful reminder of the importance of our little choices. Listening to all the memories and good things people had to say about this man caused me to reflect on my own life. What would people say at my funeral? The things in the course materials this week really went hand in hand with that thought.  I do not want my life to pass with me just filling time. I have had seasons of life when I was doing just that, and it does not feel good or fulfilling. I want to put good into th...

W14 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal Final Blog

  ·          If you had one final lecture to share with a group of students on what you have learned from this course, what would you share? This is not an easy question for me to answer, as I feel that this course has taught me so many valuable principles. I looked back through my notes and my journal, and I think that what I would share would be   centered around the fact that our little choices matter! Week after week as we studied and learned about entrepreneurship there were talks and resources that taught about the importance of making good choices, day in and day out. These great choices can be related to our physical bodies, our spiritual beings, our emotional selves, our businesses, etc. When we focus and take things one day at a time and make sure that the way we spend our time aligns with where we want to end up, we will get there. ·          What would be your last bit of advice to ...

W03 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 It has been another great week of classes. I can't believe we've made it through three weeks already.  What did you learn from the  W03 Study: Honesty & Business Ethics  readings and videos? To be honest, at first glance, I expected the content this week to be a little boring. Having integrity is something that I have heard my entire life, and I would like to think that it is a regular part of my day to day. I was pleasantly surprised to actually enjoy the readings and videos this week. Many points were made that I had not previously thought about, and I enjoyed hearing different perspectives than my own.  After studying and learning this week, I have a new and deeper commitment to always have integrity. I loved the reminder or the warning to avoid living a double life. I am reminded about the importance to be consistent across all areas of my life, including in business. It is important for people to know what they are going to get, and that they know I wi...
