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.

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.

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...

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...
