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 are good habits, they will grow to help you become the person that you want to be. When deciding what good habits you’d like to practice, you should council with God and ask for guidance about what you can improve. The last thing that I talked about was how important it is to give back. Something that a lot of people do or say is “I will give back when I have more money” or “I will give back when I am in a better place or when somebody helps me”. I think that this is a very counterintuitive approach. If you give back now, it will help to make the world a better place now.
