Introduction to Entrepreneurship

This week was centered in something very important in business, I would say in something ultimately more important than business. It is about integrity, about honesty. I loved the passage in the scriptures that was also stated 2 times in the readings of this week. It says “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?”. When we lose sight in what is the most important, then every other aspect in life lose meaning. That is why we must just not have a star, but also set guardrails, limits that we set as a warning that we are playing in the edge and that we must recover the safe track. So, there are some “I will not” that we must state now and that keep us safe. I need to work on this list this week. Something great was to read about the importance of covenants. It is great to have books of authors that have experience in business but also who have a vision of the eternity and that can teach you from a point of view not...

This journal entry has the name of Follow Your Heart because I think that was the message of the materials that I was studying. I learned from The Ministry of Business about personal revelation and how important is to follow the impressions that we receive in our heart. Something important is to act at the right time. I think this is something that I will need to consider because I feel sometimes I procrastinated some things in the past that later brought me blessings, but that I always will wonder what would have happened if my response would have been sooner.

It reminds me of a lecture that I heard that said that success is the progressing accomplishment of your dreams. So, we must have an ultimate goal, but it must be related to what we deeply want. This is our star. TO get to our star, w...

The first week of my course Introduction to Entrepreneurship has passed. I think that the content of the week has a clear message that serves as an introduction to the entrepreneurial life. I think the message of this week was that is good to risk and fail, because those are necessary steps to achieve what you want, your dreams. It is a very different mindset than what society is trying to show us nowadays. The mindset in the average people is find security, to feel save. It does not matter if you are not doing what you love, you must do it anyway because then you are sure. I always ponder about it. Life is short and sometimes we do not enjoy it. Or we work hard in things that do not satisfy us. If we are mean to work hard, then why we do not work hard for what we love? So that is inner call of the entrepreneur. To set aside and begin a different path. To not be a finished product but as is stated in The Startup of You, to be in permanent Beta. Keeping improving is keeping fa...
