Business is best

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...

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 essen...

I learned so much this week about myself and what I need to do to be a successful Entrepreneur. I love this Gospel and the light it brings into my life and the world itself. Truly the prophecy spoken by the prophets that this earth will be filled with knowledge is being completed. I believe that the most important principles I learned are Confidence through spiritual guidance, the worth of goals in our everyday lives, and that obedience to our Covenants brings success in our business endeavors. The fact that we have a all powerful loving Heavenly Father who wants us to be successful helps so much!! I cannot believe how graceful and loving he is to give us the Holy Spirit, a member of the God Head. Such a gift give me the courage to move ahead with our many plans as a family. A important factor to remember in revelation and guidance is that the Lord expects us to do a lot to receive good answers and I believe that goals are a excellent way to bring productivity and answers into our li...

I enjoyed reading about the different subjects and especially about Magdalena the entrepreneur. It seems to me as though the idea of risk taking is essential in Business but that there are definite constraints that must be put into place as well called ethics. Frank Levinson put it perfectly when he stated that there is no point cutting corners and ignoring ethics because it will always turn out bad in the end and someday it will always come out no matter how hard you try to hide it. This along with ideas from Magdalena about how to be successful helped fuel my desire and ambition to continue in my chosen course. Magdalena was all about feeding her passion of learning and eventually funneling all of that passion and learning into her love of working with and starting new small start-ups. Her passion and repetition with her amazing capacity and desire to learn helped her master the art of entrepreneurship and she became successful doing something that she loved that the world needed. Th...

This week has been a week of great growth for me. My mentality on the world is changing thanks to this class and my MicroEcon class. I don´t see things as I used to, I used to weigh my options based on the emotions I felt at the time or based on the knowledge that there might be something better in the future. Now I base my decision making in marginal opportunity costs and that the thought of failing the first few times is ok.  Marginal opportunity costs occur when a person logically chooses one option over the next best thing. In every single paper or videos case, all of these highly successful people made many sacrifices by giving up many other possible choices in favor of taking risks that happened to pay off later. It seems to me as though a very large and important part of being a Entrepenuer is refusing to allow fear to cloud my decision making and being willing to put myself out there no matter the odds and no matter how many times I could fail. I loved the video by...

I have greatly enjoyed what I have learned so far in this course. I began by doing to readings on how we are in control of what we do and that it is our responsibility to become something. We cannot blame anyone else for our failure, life isn't fair and it is ultimately up to us to make a better world. The best people, the most powerful experiences usually involve experiences where one or more refining fires have purified and helped perfect the individuals that were involved. Business in general when combined with virtue induces greater opportunities of progression and improves the lives of others. There are very few forces that hold more power than this, without good business interaction it seems as though much of what we enjoy today would be impossible. When different people choose to survive by specializing in one thing, and then joining together in trade, this allows for great prosperity and economic security. This is a situation that manifests when individuals begin to focus o...
