We can do it, but not at the expense of Family

I enjoyed and was slightly surprised by the talk that essentially told us that to be a Entrepreneur is not for everyone and that start-ups are not recommended for couples. I believe that there was a lot of sense in doing what they all recommended especially the parts about never compromising God, family, and spouse relations. Businesses require a great amount of time and effort so it can easily encroach on family time and church, but when properly regulated, businesses can bring great happiness and financial blessings to not only the family but also to many other Children of our Heavenly Father.

I also enjoyed the video of Wences when he declared that being a Entrepreneur isn't what we do, it is what we are! Such a mindset is sure to bring about success and happiness in all righteous endeavors. The entrepreneur has a great ability to bring about good and bless the live through both consumers and employees. I believe that to be a good entrepreneur one has to be good at building others and creating good relations through honesty and kindness, motivated by healthy mutual self-interest so that the market itself can function. I enjoy and hope that my time to learn will be beneficial for all of my future business endeavors.

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.
