Honest and Business Ethics

 

Hello everyone, welcome to blog. This is week 3 in introduction to entrepreneurship. This week I studies Honesty and business ethics. This week I learnt a lot about why ethics is important according to Frank Levison. In the video, he told a story of how he started his first company and how he met a fella who like 30yrs older than he was and the man was a smoker and calls the women at work honey and he does other things but he was loyal but dishonest so he fired him.

 According to him, there are right way of doing things and there are right ways to treat people. He said at his company they don’t care if you are black/white, gay/straight just be good and have good working ethics.

I also learnt the top 10 must have for a startup, firstly, I need a comfortable, cheap chair.  Secondly, I will put up a sign to tell the world I am in business. Thirdly thing is little money, then next thing is to need common sense, I need support from my family, also I have got to like surfing real waves, I should not try to make everything on my own. 

I have to have confidence in myself that I’m going have thousands of great ideas. The ninth one is sales, I should make it better, and I have to have customers. And not give up no mater what. And the last one is to get a great patter which is the most important of all. I have to choose my partner carefully and the partner most not be same as me and the person must be fanatical ethical. I must be loyal to the partner too. The partner has to protect and defend me and the person I go through things with.

I learnt a great deal this week and hopefully I’m able to apply it to my business.

W08 Overcoming Challenge

  Hello everyone, this week I learnt about how I can overcome challenges especially in my business and career and I will be sharing few of the things I learnt. I learnt that I will face some delays and disappointments at this formative time in my life and feel that no one else in the history of mankind has ever had my problems or faced those difficulties and when some of those challenges come, I will have the temptation common to all to say, “This task is too hard. The burden is too heavy. The path is too long.” And so, I might decide to quit, simply to give up but I should not give in to the thought. I should never quit, I should keep doing the right thing and the Lord will help me every step of the way to accomplish great things and if I involve the Lord in what I do, I will see him open doors. I will see him provide ways , I will see myself do great things and be able to take advantage of great opportunities. I also learnt about the 5 whys, and t he idea is that wh...

 Hello everyone,  Welcome to my blog.  Today I will be reflecting and describing what I have learnt this wee in Introduction to Entrepreneurship. The material living life as an hero thought me that to begin my journey as an entrepreneur, I have to firstly dream big, according to Daniel Burnham, " Make no small plans, for they have no power to stir the blood'. In order words, to start I have to dream big and not small, i have to picture myself going big in future. Secondly, all epic journey and all paths to mastery begin with a first step, that means I have to take a step to start and I should not be scared of taking the first step.  There are some difficulties I'm going to face while trying to start but I will have to accept that life is hard and seldom fair, persevere from difficult decisions to habits to character to destiny, I will get to chose but I'm not in control and that I should choose my fellow traveller. Then I  should ask if it would be worth it at t...
