Uncertainties

This week was great. I did my selling part for my group project in the sell anything challenge. My group won! It was not easy for me to sell in a different language, especially at girl apartments. I got lot of rejection. It was hard the first time but then I realized that everything is training. I had fun even if did not get the expected success. I think selling is great. It makes you be mature in some ways. It makes you master your emotions.

I learned that we do not underestimate what we can do. We can do anything with the strength of the Lord. We must persevere and take action as Nefi. 

I learned that the most important skill of an entrepreneur is the tolerance for ambiguity. It is hard to be an entrepreneur because there is lot of uncertainty in this path. Nothing is granted. This is a skill that most of the people do not have and is something that we can develop. A good example of that is Roxanne Quimby. I read about her and how she created Burst’s Bees. She learned how to live with uncertainties since she was young. She could bootstrap a business from zero to make it a company of 3 million dollars sales revenues without going in debt. Because she lived in poor conditions when she was young, she said that she could operate her business without fear of losing. It was very interesting to see how having not fear makes a difference for an entrepreneur.
