Week 10: Dream Big Dreams

 This weeks reading and videos were really good, as well as the discussion board that we had to do for class. It helped me to break down what I had learned and really what I had liked. I do have a dream of being able to help run a business one day, be the one to organize everything and have those abilities to be a leader. 

Elder Oaks talked about how important it is to become while we are here on earth. I really loved this because I have seen in my life what the opposite brings. I have a sibling that is Transgender. Ever since they have made this decision, which was about 7 years ago, they have never been happy. They count on external things to make them happy. They also are not becoming anything, and instead are choosing to feel that the world is against them. The Lord does not want this for any of His children. He wants to see us striving for new things, go after our dreams and finding joy because of the love we feel from Him. 

I also really loved the video "Think Big". It showed me that we should be excited and have passion for what we are doing. He was happy because he felt accomplished, but then he got excited because others also recognized it. He also said at the end of his video to always include the Lord in your dreams and to never underestimate yourself. 

As I think about the dreams that I have, like becoming a mom, having a successful career and being an amazing wife, the main lesson I am still learning is to involve the Lord as much as I can. He knows me and He knows where I should be. He will always lead me to achieving my dreams.

Week 12: Becoming a Change-Maker

      This week I learned a lot. It was really good to write the book report and to be able to make a summary of what the Hero's Journey is all about. The one thing that I really like about this book is that even though they were relating it to business and being an entrepreneur, it can be really relatable to you at any stage of life.      You will always need to figure out who you want to become and make goals to try and get there. I really loved how it talked about building that foundation and learning  yourself. Reaching out to others and gaining strong relationships with people that you trust. And then it talked about trials that you might go through.       My favorite part of the book was the chapter when it talked about days that are in the darkness. The days when our mindsets turn back to the perspective of a child. Dark corners are scary and a pile of clothes in the dark can look like a monster. This I found really...

Week 3: Honesty and Business Ethics

 This week’s readings were wonderful, and I learned a lot from them. The first thing we were prompted to read were the next couple chapter of the book Launching Leaders. So far, I have enjoyed reading this book because it has the perfect balance of personal experience and information to help you improve.  These chapters focused on setting out our course to become the person we want to be in the future. Chapter 4 started out with the author telling a story about how he randomly developed a fear of flying in his adult years. At the time he traveled here and there for work and this fear was causing him to not have confidence in himself. I read that story and it was exactly what I needed to hear this week. There are fears that I have randomly developed later in life that sometimes get in the way of my day-to-day activities. It was such a comfort to know that I am not alone in that experience, and to also know that there is a way to solve it. He learned more about flying by learnin...

Week 1 Reflection-Getting the Gears Turning

 I'm not going to lie, I have never really thought of myself as someone who could be an Entrepreneur. I have the skills to learn things quickly and I have the memory to use that knowledge for my advantage, but I have never understood how to use those things to my benefit. Where do I start?  Lessons Learned: When I first saw all of the reading I had to do it was a little bit daunting. It has been two years since I was last in school, but I am reading to challenge my mind again. Some of the main things that really stuck out to me were first from Elder Bednars address to the students at Ricks College. He talked about the Law of Consecration and that it can apply to any part of your life, no matter what you end up doing. When you are willing to sacrifice everything you are for a purpose greater than yourself then you are living that law.  Living Life as An Entrepreneurial Hero by Jeff Sandefer had a lot of points that I really connected with. One of them was that you will bec...
