The Start...

September 21, 2013

Officially a blogger! I am so glad that I was required to have a blog because I probably would have never looked into blogging. Please bear with me as my blogging journey begins today.

Anyways, my first week of class and I have already learned many important lessons that will help me in my entrepreneurial journey. Way to start the semester if you ask me.

The assigned readings and videos had plenty of helpful information but I compiled a short list of things that I felt would help me the most down the road.

The four principles that stood out to me the most are: (1) prepare to be a Disciple of Christ, (2) have faith and be competent and there will be nothing you can’t achieve, (3) study and do what you love, (4) always do your best and don’t sell yourself short. 

These teachings were simple but so inspirational and serve as a guide for me. First, I need to work and prepare to become a Disciple of Christ. As I do this I will build discipline and leadership skills that will help me in my journey. Second, I need to seek to have a solid faith and be competent so I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. Faith and knowledge together can be a powerful tool. Third, study and do what you love. In his video, entrepreneur Guy Kawasaki, discouraged people starting a business based on what’s trending. He suggested we follow what we love to do and it will be more rewarding. (4) Lastly, always do your best, and don’t sell yourself short. This is a great principle for me to remember since I tend to forget my potential because of the minimum effort I may put into a task.

I know that as I strive to apply these principles today, they will help me build confidence in my future business endeavors. I am excited for what is to come!
