Entrepreneurial Journey

  "After ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek  them for the intent to do good - to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the  captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted." Jacob 2:19 What is your attitude toward money? I have a love-hate relationship with money. I am the first to admit I am not good with money. But yes I have gotten better with my views and respect for money over the past few years. How can your view of money affect the way you live? It has been interesting to me to see and learn how much money can affect a marriage. I have always been afraid to tell my husband no, that there was not enough. I felt like by telling him, no that I had not budgeted good enough, or done my part. He worked hard and by telling him no, I felt that I wasn’t letting him gain anything for his efforts. My husband has a good job, gets paid well. We have just had a few years that have been fill...

       This week we have talked about dreaming and becoming. We all have dreams. Dreams of striking it rich, being famous, or creating the next new fade. But many of us never move past the dream stage and begin to act on those dreams. We fail to believe in our abilities or the realities that those dreams could ever become true.       It goes beyond this, many fail to believe in themselves as a person. The world is ugly and tends to pull the ugly out of us all. Beating us down and telling us we cannot, instead of yes, you can do it. Because of this, we hold ourselves back from becoming who we are meant to be. We are limiting ourselves.      What if the world was different, the opposite of what it is today? What if everyone pointed out the positive, encouraged each other, and lent a helping hand? Do you think we would have as much depression, homelessness, drug abuse, or crime? I don’t think we would. I think we beat ourselves down th...

  "Brothers and sisters, it is destiny to live in a remarkable time. It is a time of turmoil and great wickedness, but also a time of miracles and heavenly blessings. With your future in mind, we have sought to prepare you to become disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and leaders in our families, in the Church, and in the world around you. President Kim B. Clark This week we studied leadership in my Entrepreneurship class. I am sure I just like many of you who have had their share of varying experiences of being a leader and interacting with a leader. We have all had the so-called leader who was more of a dictator and then those leaders that made an impact on our lives for good. Those are the leaders that we remember their names and most importantly how they made us feel. On the flip side, most of us had had the experience of being the leader. I can’ only speak from my own experience but I have had both negative and positive experiences of being a leader.  Some of those times I...

  Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days. D&C 64:33–34         This week's readings and videos were all about overcoming obstacles. This was by far my favorite readings so far this semester. Obstacles and trials are things one always wants to avoid at all costs. Who is their right mind looks forward to obstacles and trials? I see them differently. I see them now, more as a molding process as a way to grow, strengthen, and stretch.      Looking forward to life as an Entrepreneur, I have realized that my biggest obstacles for myself and my business are going to be “ME, MYSELF AND I”. If I can overcome my self-doubt, fear, and negative self-talk. Then I believe that will be half the battle. If I ...
