What if?

The phrase 'what if...' has tortured more souls than any other phrase, besides maybe 'if only I had...'. I have found that the entrepreneur's journey is not easy, but it is so worth it to go for our dreams, even if they do end in what we see as disaster. Thomas Edison failed far more than he ever succeeded, yet his success as an entrepreneur/inventor literally lit up the whole world! I believe that it is very similar for us today. We take educated and well thought out risks knowing that we could very well fail in a few endeavors, but we also understanding that even if only one of those endeavors succeeds, it could change the world. My goal is not to become a rich millionaire who squanders away millions for frivolous pleasantries. I wish to provide something that will bring relief and happiness to others and fill some gaps that have been left open. By looking at life through this new perspective I believe that I can achieve the entrepreneurial dream and do something great in this world. There is so much to be done and so little time to live life, I do not want to look back when I am dying and ask the question 'what if only I had done _______. I want to look back with satisfaction knowing that I have been a blessing to all around me and to see a wonderful family that was raised by the Lord; then I could die content.

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 ot...

People who execute are number one

I have enjoyed learning about the attitude of a successful entrepreneur and that profits do not define the success of a business. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning that the attitude for success is a win-win situation by leading with our examples and through love. By doing our best to bless the lives of others and listening to what they need rather than simply trying to guess at what they want, we will experience success in our various occupations and start-up attempts. Because of this course my wife and I are now contemplating the idea of creating our first little business, a small restaurant! Plans are being made as we apply what we have learned and we hope that what we are going to learn will help to fill in the gaps that we have right now. This week I learned about the attitude of executing orders and commands to the best of my abilities. I have learned that by being proactive I will differentiate myself from others and that I can gain other people's respect by doing rather tha...
