W13 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 

  • ·         What did you learn from the W13 Study: A Journey of Gratitude readings and videos?

    This week the readings and videos contained some really amazing information! In relation to entrepreneurship, I enjoyed learning about different paths and approaches when it comes to starting a business. Learning from others experiences is extremely valuable. On a more personal note, I absolutely loved the talk An Attitude of Gratitude by Thomas S Monson. In it he gave a list of people we might have gratitude for. After reading this I was reflecting on my own life and these people and even decided to send some messages expressing my gratitude. The list included showing gratitude for mothers, fathers, teachers, friends, our country, and finally, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am grateful for the reminder of what a grateful heart and mind can do for our lives. I loved thinking about the people in my life both in the past and present who have shaped things for me and taught me many lessons. Thomas Monson said in his talk “We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues.”

    ·         What are you looking forward to learning and experiencing?

    It is hard to believe that next week is the final week for this course. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed and gained so much value from the content we have been studying.  I hope that the classes I take next semester live up to the standard this class has set. But I really am looking forward to continuing my education and studying business. I plan to make the best of this final week and want to thank Sister Milton for being a great instructor.

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...
