Intro to Entrepreneurial Class BYUI Studies

Things learned: 

"What you do and how much you make are not as important to the Lord as

1. Building his kingdom

2. Honest in your dealings

3. Filling life with good works and helping your community."

                                                        -Lynn G. Robbins

Our goal in life should be for our primary motivation 

to be the love of God and our fellowmen and secondary income.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF: 

                    

                    Can you ask the Lord's blessings on whatever your endeavor is? 

                    Does your product or service hurt society? 

Decide now what my standards are...In life expect your integrity to be challenged.                                                                  IT WILL HAPPEN.

Things to look into/think more about: 

Winners Never Cheat -Huntsman Sr. I have heard several times in the last month or so reference to this book. I need to add it to my book list. 

How to partner more in my life with God. Not be so independent. 

Spend more time on others, service, community.

Pray every day to be sensitive to the spirit, to listen, and to follow.

When we put God first as our priority other things in our life will be taken care of.

When a good thought pops into my head write it down in my notes on my phone, or in my paper book on my nightstand. follow through with those thoughts. 

Look into Yoga/Contemplation as a daily habit. Good time to reflect and listen. 

Our worst nightmare we have fail in comparison to not living the life we are intented to. Looking back on my life and having regrets. 

    

    

 Week 2

      "The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people." Randy Pausch

    I think this quote sums up one of the reasons why Randy Pausch was able to achieve his dreams. He never stopped reaching for them. Also, I feel that positivity plays a lot in people who are successful in reaching their dreams. Randy seemed to be a very positive person. 

Dreaming Good or Bad?

    I am split a little with the subject of dreaming. I am a little jaded when it comes to dreaming. I think that it is important but what I think is more important is a plan to achieve the dream. If all you ever do is dream but have zero action behind it, I feel like it is worse to have dreamed in the first place. 

Childhood dream: Hair Dresser

I grew up the youngest of 6. The oldest 5 were boys. My mom did not know how to do hair or wasn't interested. This is funny on its own because my grandmother, on my mom's side was a hairdresser. I started doing my own hair maybe 5 or 6 years old. I actually don't have any memories of my mom doing my hair so possibly even younger. I could french braid my own hair when I was 6. I loved to braid. I always thought going to hair school would be fun. The older I got the less of a dream that became. I believe if I wanted that same dream I could achieve it. I think instead of going to hair school I would just apprentice with a hairdresser. This way I could learn the craft and not be in Cosmetology school.

LESSONS LEARNED

Sometimes those with exceptional talents have a hard time staying on the path of mastery.  

1987 interviewed athletes who said that hard work and experience over raw talent. 

When setting a new goal enjoy the process, not just the destination. I would add to that in anything in life enjoy the process not just the end goal. 

There are fast learners and slow learners. Both have positive and negative to them. Fast learners sometimes don't take the steps and time necessary to really learn a new craft. Slow learners can take longer but in the end, can have a better skill set. 

Positive people get sick less than negative people. 

Acknowledge the negative but Accentuate the positive. I love this and feel like I have tried hard to be this person. It is not what happens to you in life it is how you choose to react to it. 

How to get more energy to do things. Exercise more! do the thing that you think you don't have the energy for and it will give you more energy. 

Dedicate to life long learning. 

Guy Kawasaki is the name of the entrepreneur that I have been looking for business advice.
