-Week Six-

    Lessons Learned 

    Three things that I learned in this week's study were the importance of setting rules for your family and business life, the importance of always being able to accept a church calling, and the importance of being an entrepreneur because you love it and not for the money. All three of these lessons are important because they help me mentally prepare for this career field. They are like tools in my toolbox that can help me to be a balanced man on top of being an entrepreneur. Of the three that I chose, the most interesting one is the "setting rules" for family life principle. I enjoyed the author's story where he said that in his family they had rules about certain things that they always did no matter what. No matter how busy he was or how many things he needed to do, the rule that they set was to always have family dinner at 7pm every night. This was very important because it was dedicated family time and it was a rule that they never broke. This helped them to remain close as a family despite busy schedules. This is important to me because it is a tip that I think I will use in my own life in the future. I believe that it will help me stay close to my family no matter what.

 Lessons not yet learned 

     I plan on applying the rules principle to my own life. One thing I think could be beneficial is setting a family rule to always have a family home evening on Monday nights no matter what. This is something that we did in my family growing up and I helped us to always have a night when we were together just as a family. Going forward, I want to make specific commitments and rules with my family to ensure that we stand strong through the tests of life.

Week 14

  7 /24/24 Entrepreneur Journal -Week Fourteen-      Lessons Learned          This semester I have learned a lot from this course. I definitely was not what I thought it would be going in. I was expecting a more practical, informational approach to the intro to entrepreneurship topic. Really I would consider this class to be more like a "believe in yourself 101". There weren't a whole lot of business terms discussed or vocabulary used however, the information given in this class was useful in a completely different way. It taps more into the feeling of being an entrepreneur by using the advice and experience of others. If I were to give one piece of advice to a group of students, I would tell them that the core of entrepreneurialism is not making money or chasing wealth. Moreover, the true nature and soul of being an entrepreneur can be found through true passion combined with a realistic vision. That is what it's truly about. The p...

Week 12

  7 /12/24 Entrepreneur Journal -Week Twelve-      Lessons Learned           In the text this week we read about the values of virtue and integrity and how they can positively or negatively affect an economy. The author Charles Handy argues that these values are important because business is a system that relies on trust. To a certain fundamental degree, the business world would not function as intended if the values of virtue and integrity didn't exist. Elder D. Todd Christopherson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles gave a great talk on this subject titled "Sustainable Societies". In it, he argued that an economy or community is not held together by its laws only but instead by the integrity of the general public. He stated that laws are a desperate last resort to control an uncivilized people. We also read more of this in the book of Mosiah in the Book of Mormon. In it, King Benjamin explains to his people how they eradicated cr...
