W13 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 Hello everyone, this week, being the 2nd to the last week of this semester, I learnt a lot that really opened my mind to a lot of things and how to go about my career . I would say this course really gave me insight on a lot of things. This week i learnt about an attitude of gratitude, according to Elder Thomas S. Monson, when we reflect on our lives, we would discover much to prompt our personal gratitude. We have gratitude for our mothers, fathers, teachers, friends, our country and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.



I also learnt from identifying and exploiting the right entrepreneurial opportunity material that many entrepreneurs have pursued an idea that he or she believes would be a success, often with considerable zeal. Regrettably, ideas are not often grounded in economic realities. Realistic opportunities might also entice entrepreneurs into enterprises that take them to locations they don't want to go. Perhaps, they lack the necessary skill sets. Or the amount of time and travel involved is too much for their families. Alternatively, they may feel as if they are surrendering their ideals. There is an analytical framework for deciding whether your entrepreneurial idea is the proper opportunity for you based on where you are in life and where you want to go. It starts with an overview of entrepreneurship and ends with some thoughts on balancing an entrepreneurial career with a personal life, as well as the pursuit of possibilities in general.



I also learnt from the video, avoid the wrong job by Stan Christensen. According to him, people end up in the wrong job because of their unhelpful assumptions. Some of the assumptions are resumes, we often do things because we believe that is what other people want to see which is very wrong. Instead do things you have passion for and you will see people who have similar minds or those who appreciate your experience and are ready to find a place for you. Secondly, people take jobs that they hate and just set their mind to do it for maybe just a year or two just for them to get experience or for them to move to the next level. We are mighty to do jobs that we are happy doing, that we have passion for and we have fun doing it not the other way around.



In conclusion, I learnt that I should have an attitude of gratitude. I learnt how important it is to not just identify my opportunity without looking at how real it is. I also learnt that I should not just take a job so that I can please others or so that I can gain experience or money. When I know that I hate the job, I'm just forcing myself to work. Instead I should be real with myself, i should find a job that i am passionate about to help me build my career.

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...
