W04 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

This week I have learned a lot. I reviewed the notes that I took from the book “Launching Leaders” by Steven A. Hitz. Some of the things that I covered in my book report were how to develop core values, how to adopt and use mentors, how to implement habits for success, and the importance of giving back. There is so much power in developing core values that align with God’s will. I thought really hard and pondered about what my core values should be. I came up with a list that I feel really good about and I am proud of. I also reviewed how and why we should find mentors. Mentors can be somebody who helps to elevate you to the next level. They should be somebody who lives the principles that you would like to life. They should be somebody who believes in you and uplifts you whenever they can. Mentors can be such a great tool to help you achieve your dreams and goals. Another thing that is paramount to success is developing and practicing good habits. When you strive to plant seeds that a

W03 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

This week I have learned many valuable lessons. I have learned that it is extremely important to include the Lord in big decisions that you are planning to make in your life. I have learned more about the importance of ethics in the work place. In some of the study material that we were given, it was pointed out that you should always be honest in a work environment. If you do something that is wrong or deceitful, it will catch up to you. It will come to the surface sooner or later. That is why it is better to make decisions that you think are morally and ethically acceptable. This week we were given an assignment to ponder and create a personal code of conduct. I really enjoyed this assignment. I put a lot of thought and effort into this. I thought about it throughout the week and I observed and pondered some of the decisions that my coworkers have made. Some of the things that have happened at work this week have helped me to really understand the things that I find most important. O

W02 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 I think that Randy Pausch was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams because he saw a brick wall as an opportunity to show how bad he wanted something. This mindset helped him to achieve so many of his goals because he decided that he would find a way around, above, or through that wall. Brick walls are there to stop people that don't want it as much as others. He quoted "If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself and the dreams will come to you." I think that this quote is important because a lot of people will do anything for success. And yes, a lot of them will be successful, but I don't think that it will be fulfilling to them.  I think that dreaming is such an important aspect that should forever be a part of our lives. If we don't dream, we won't have goals. Dreaming is like a shimmer of light in a world that can be a very dark place. If we do not have goals and dreams, we wouldn't have successful people in life

 This week I enjoyed reading and listening to the videos that were provided to us. I really liked the video of Guy Kawasaki. He had a couple of quotes that stuck out to me. One of them being "You should truly study and do what you love. I can't promise you if you do that, the money will come. But I can promise you, if you take a curriculum or you start a company simply for the money, you will probably end up miserably. Now, you may end up miserable and poor. You may also end up miserable and rich." He then encourages us to do what we love. He also talks about if you do what you love, you will probably do really good at it, and if you love it enough, money won't matter. It makes me think about college students that are just ready to graduate and are striving to get the highest paying job they can find. Yes, money is important, but if you do not do something that you love, you will be miserable.  Something else that I found within the study guide is "Living a life
