Week 14 Reflections

If I were to summarize the greatest lesson I have learned this semester in this class it would be this: That we each have a mission on this earth to complete. And this is so important for each of us to really believe, let it sink in deep, and then to figure it out. When we can figure out why WE are on this earth right now and for what purpose, it not only helps us move on that path, but it gets us ON the right path and helps us feel good in finding our purpose. That feeling of finding your purpose is so important and feels so good. I feel like this class has helped me realize that Entrepreneurship is the path for me. I don't know what that means for me exactly as of right now, but I have great faith and trust in God that He will help me find my way on this path. That He will help me prepare and be ready for the right opportunities as I prepare.
And that is why I am quitting school again for at least one semester. I realized this semester a lot of inner work I need to get done. Both inside of me and inside my home and how we run it right now. I am so excited to work on these many things so I am better prepared and organized in my mind and home  for the future when I have the time and energy to start a business. Right now I know babies is my day today calling and that is fine. But I look forward to the future for me to start something new and exciting for me. I look forward to helping women both through employment and service. I hope to help as many women as I can in my life by providing so many opportunities and look forward to seeing how this happens and where God leads me. How blessed we are to have loving Heavenly Parents who guide us and lead us in this earthly life.

Week 7 Reflections

The habit of the 7 Habits that had the greatest impact on me as I read was Habit number 3: Put first things first. Ever since I read it the other night, I have been trying to evaluate how I'm using my time. Am I putting urgent, non important things first? Or even worse-Non urgent, non important things first? I have realized I do a lot of nonimportant things first in my life and that's not great, no matter how I frame it to justify it. And as I have thought about this, I have realized how the church and gospel ask us to put non urgent, important things first. These things include reading scriptures, saying our prayers morning and night, serving others willingly through ministering, fulfilling callings, etc, etc. These things are super important, but don't have deadlines, except self imposed ones. And no one is giving us a grade. So it can be hard to make time for them, and to make sure they get done in a time frame that they really should be done. And to establish regular pa...

Week 12 Reflections

This week we read the article "What's a Business For?" and it was very insightful. Some things it points out right at the beginning is how important virtue and integrity are. There are so many instances in the recent path of people being dishonest and screwing up lots of companies around the country due to their selfishness and greed. When people are honest and having integrity and feel a need to be ethical and fair in their choices then everyone gets treated fairly and no illegal activity is taking place, for any reason, at any time. And everyone benefits from that. Plus, when people inflate numbers in their company or do little tricks to make their business appear a certain way, it affects the economy on the way up and on the way down from those lies and exaggerations. The real existence for businesses is to help people progress and to give the good things of life to those around the world and make them accessible to all. The way business is set up can help to spur tho...

Week 4 Reflections

This week the readings were really insightful for me. Okay, they are every week. But the principle I really liked this week was hit on in two places. Clayton Christensen said how while at Oxford he dedicated one hour a day to pondering and reading and figuring out what his mission on earth is and he said it was a sacrifice but it helped him a lot. I really need direction like that in my life right now. Then one of the videos talked about a guy who decided to study himself like he studied bugs as a kid and wrote down his observations in a notebook. About himself. For 2 YEARS! That's a long time and a lot of dedication to figuring it out. Which really is a representation of reality, but disappointing that it can't take less time. But I think I'm confused enough to really pursue this and work to dedicate time daily for this answer for myself. I am a bit overwhelmed right now with school and my 6 kids under 8 years old. And so carving out that time is hard to do, but I have tri...
