W04 Reflection

 Hello everyone welcome to my blog. So this week I learnt from the book on “How will you measure your life” by Clayton M. Christensen. It talks about how to balance work and your personal life so that you will be able to spend your time on earth happily by not just been focused on money and career but also family, friends, and your personal self. It creates a balance in your life.

He talked about how we want to be remembered, how do we want people to remember us when we leave this world. Our relationship with our family and friends is very important and it a source of happiness for our lives. Once things looks like it is going well we should not be deceived to invest in the relationship. 

 We should not loose track of essential things and we should make sure to allocate resources appropriately. He sighted examples of some of his classmates in business school  who had it in mind to do great things in the world but ended up with student debts and had to take jobs to pay off their loan for the main time. 

Later in future they were able to make it, they had their dream jobs and were cash out money and along the way they lost track of what is important in their life. According to him how you allocate your resources is where the rubber meets the road. You  need to have a strategic plan for you career and future. 

According to him,  as you’re living your life from day to day, how do you make sure you’re heading in the right direction? Watch where your resources flow. If they’re not supporting the strategy you’ve decided upon, then you’re not implementing that strategy at all. 

I have decided to be follow a strategy so that I will have plan in life to reach my career goal and also for my family. This will help me create a balance in my life.

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...
