Life is too short to waste

This week I had the opportunity to learn about never giving up. I learned that God loves us and that if we trust in him, have faith in him, and then endure everything that comes on our Hero’s Journey, everything will eventually turn out ok. I also learned interestingly enough that it is a bad idea to be an entrepreneur starting up a company if money is the main objective. Our objective is not that of the world, our objective is to help others through serving them with our specialized services. To use our God given talents to bless others, but to get those God given talents we must search for what brings us flow, what comes naturally, what is our purpose in life? By answering these questions through talking with others and meditation with God it is possible to do more than we ever previously imagined. It is not the skilled Entrepreneur who wins, it is the persistent daring entrepreneur who is willing to work who will gain the prize. I believe that like a kite moral boundaries are essential to having true success and I know that I need to find my calling, set my boundaries, and then take the next step towards success with my wonderful family.

The Monster We Grow

I learned about the importance of having faith in oneself as an entrepreneur and understanding that risk taking is necessary but also wisdom and patience is important when seeking the prize. Corey Kesler, a great entrepreneur and mentor for me, shared that his biggest regrets involved not charging enough for what he did and the amount of time having a business takes from family life. The complexity and diverse forms of operation within a business is fragile at best, and must be considered with great care. The balance between family and entrepreneurial endeavors is precarious and is not a game to be taken lightly. It is imperative that creative thinking and reason be entwined together to create feasible innovation that increase the marginal revenue of production. By innovative thinking and utilizing capital in efficient ways we make production less expensive dramatically increasing revenue and increasing profits of the company. Investing in capital is necessary to bolster revenues, but ...

Good habits cleaves to good company and good living as well.

This course so far has been great to me, I have learned so much this past week about the importance of habits and how to become a successful person. I believe that by being ethical in all of my decisions and perusing the path of mastery in all areas of my life by applying good habits that I can be successful and bring much joy to my family as well as the world. Entrepreneurship is not a easy course and is not for everyone, but I have a dream and believe that this course has been invaluable to me personally. I look forward to learning how to actually manage and run a business, what is it really like to go all in?  I also hope that by following the advice of my own mentors that I will be able to better myself and my wife and I's entrepreneurial endeavors. I loved learning about the 7 highly effective habits of successful people and found that by looking into myself that I could see different qualities that I liked and other ones that I wish to better.

End!

There are very few things in life more terrifying than the thought of being on the death bed and realizing that your life was a waste and that your legacy will not carry on to your posterity. Being an entrepreneur is not about how much fiscal success one can obtain, how much recognition we receive, or even about whether or not the business itself was a success; it is far more profound and powerful than mere success. The Entrepreneurial journey isn't about what we can make, it is more about what we become in the process of creating this journey. My father once told me that creating a business is like creating a monster, it starts out so small, just a little debt to get things off the ground with just a few low risks. But as time progresses, and we continue to feed the monster, it grows, and grows, and grows and left unchecked, it will consume the soul. Being a entrepreneur can literally drain away life and consume a man. It is imperative that we control the monster and keep our head...
