W05 Insight Sharing: Share It!

This week I spent some time reading in the New Testament and one thing kept standing out to me. Jesus talks a lot about being ready and paying attention to what is important. In Matthew 24 he says, “Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” That made me stop and think about how his return could happen at any moment and how I don’t have to wait to start preparing. The big truth is that Christ will come back to reign but the lesson I can take into my life now is that I can practice being ready every day through praying, repenting, and serving others. What really struck me is how the small everyday choices we make actually matter. Preparation doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about the little steps I take consistently.

W10 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 Something that I really liked from the first video was when he talked about how normal/regular of a guy he was and how him and his company were able to achieve great things. They were ranked in #11 the first year and #6 the second year. I really liked that he mentioned to never underestimate yourself. He said something along the lines of "if you include the Lord in your decision making, you can do the impossible". I really think that is a great statement because it can be so easy to think that we know what we are doing when we move on to the real world. He knows better than any of us what is best for each and every one of us. Something that I thought was really cool from the video "Action Hero Kath Huber" was that at MIT they had entrepreneurs come to the school and throw a problem at the students and had them help to find a solution. I think that is a really great way to learn to think outside of the box. That is something that I could practice now. I could reach ...

W09 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

  The biggest thing that stuck out to me this week was Guy Kawaski’s talk. He talked about trust. I think that trust is something that has kind of gone down the drain in these last few years. I think that it becomes harder and harder to trust people every day, but I do think that there are still trustworthy people out there. He talked about the importance of trust when you are running a business. He gave examples of Amazon, Zappos, Nordstrom, and some others. I think that it is definitely an interesting concept. He talked about how people can take advantage of these companies, but they usually don’t. For example, Amazon allows you to return things like books. He said that just about anybody can read a book and return it within the allotted time, but people don’t. Amazon goes out on a limb to trust people and in turn, people trust Amazon. I really like the idea of trusting people before they trust you. A thought that popped into my head was “well if I just trust everybody, I am goin...

W14 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal Final Blog

  If I had to look back over the semester and find the things that stuck out to me most in all of these lessons, I would say that honesty was the biggest one. Honesty is something that I feel most businesses do not posses. A lot of people will tell small lies or they will just not tell you the full truth. They think of it as no big deal. Looking at all of the examples that were given, I think that it goes to show that honesty is going to work out best for you. There are many instances where if somebody was honest and straight up about a mistake, they would have gotten a lot less grief for it. Another thing that really stuck out to me was setting rules for myself. These rules will help me to maintain a healthy life. For example, some of the rules that I set were to be honest, don’t let work affect my marriage, keep the Lord involved in my decisions, don’t take the easy road, and many more. Setting these rules allows me to have a guideline for what is okay with me and what is not. ...
