W06 Insight Sharing: Share It!

 This week I learned a lot about the need to be prepared for the second coming. As I was reading through the scriptures, I made general list of the times that it mentions the importance of being prepared. There were stories that were compared to being prepared. In Matthew 24:42-44 it talks about how if we were waiting for a thief to come to our house, we would be ready to defend our homes and our families. Similarly, because we don't know when Jesus will return, we need to live in a way where we are prepared for His coming. I learned about how we need to do more than just occasional acts of devotion, we need to constantly be creating habits of prayer, service, faith, etc. to be ready for Him to come back. Luke 21:36 also emphasized the importance of always watching and praying so that we can be worthy to stand before Him. I have been trying hard this week to just do little things to help me be more spiritually aware. For example, when things got stressful this week, I just said a small prayer to help me feel His love and I did.

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...

W12 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 I have learned many great things from the material that we read and listened to this week. In the video with Sarah Endline, she talked a lot about how important it is to search and find gaps and opportunities where you can start a business. She talked about how important it is to really research your business before you decide to start it. Something that stuck out to me was “never get stuck in the mud”. To me it meant that sometimes you will not always be in control of what is going on, but you need to consistently be a problem solver. If you want to be an entrepreneur, you need to be a great problem solver. Running a business is not a spring, it is a marathon. One of the videos that really stuck out to me talked about how you don’t necessarily need to own your own business to help have a positive influence on the world. You can do great things wherever you are. In the video and talked about how you can make changes in ordinary things. She gave an example of how somebody turned th...

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 ...
