Never Be Somewhere You Can't Say No

I was deeply impacted by the concept of never being somewhere I cannot say no, especially to something that is dangerous for moral or ethical reasons. I greatly appreciated this concept and believe that this will be something that I will keep at my center. I must work to create a better me by instilling this principle and the many others I learned. It is true that as a entrepreneur our ability to manage a business and family time is very difficult and I hope to learn more of time management in the hopes that this will bless my family and future. I hope to learn more about how to make money in a wise way and how to use it correctly like Jim, I really respect him and love the idea of retiring at 35 and serving for the rest of my life. I have set the goal that My wife and I will retire at the age of 45, maybe 7-8 years sooner than my father is going to retire, he is planning to retire at the age of 53-54 as a financially independent adult. I hope to learn these strategies and especially how to invest, I really must become more acquainted with how to invest money.

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 ...

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...
