This class was awesome! I sure did learn a lot about entrepreneurship and what it takes to start u your own business. It takes lots of motivation. There will be many many trial and error experiences if you choose this pathway but often times if you can make it through the reward will be worth all the trials you had to go through to get there. To be an entrepreneur you have to be a dedicated person and have a lot of willpower to continue when faced with failure. Overall the biggest lesson I learned in this class was to stick through and endure till the end and don't give up when faced with challenges.

This week we learned about gratitude. It is important to maintain a positive outlook on life and to look around you and count your blessings and to realize how much you have and to be grateful.

This week we talked about becoming change makers. To me this means to do something in your life or career that makes a difference for other people.

This week we talked about having work and life balance. I think it is more important to be with those you love than to spend your whole life working and miss time with your family and friends.

This week we got to interview someone who was an entrepreneur. I enjoyed doing this because I learned about their experience and struggles in starting up their own business.

This week we started looking into interviewing someone who is an entrepreneur. I think this will be a great thing to do because it gives us a chance to talk with someone who has been successful with their own business so we can learn from them.

This week we talked about overcoming challenges. I really enjoyed the talk by Jeffery R. Holland. That is probably one of my favorite talks of all time. There are many obstacles in life and we have to make the choice whether to give into them or overcome them. What u think the biggest obstacle for me to overcome in school and business is becoming better at learning math so I can figure out financial problems better. Math for me has always been something that has taken me longer than other subjects to understand so I feel like it’s going to be something I will really have to work at when I have to take those difficult classes.

This week I wrote a book report on "Mastery" by George Leonard. This made me think back to all the important principles taught in this book on how we can become successful. My favorite principle taught in this book was "All significant learning is composed of brief spurts of progress followed by long periods of work where if feels as if you’re going nowhere.”

This week we learned about what it takes to be an entrepreneur. We also learned about how to balance out life such as jobs, family, church, and hobbies. I enjoyed this weeks lesson because it has helped me to take a step back and prioritize things in my life better than I am currently doing.

This week in my class we learned about a case study called spreading happiness where a lady in canada named Erica Mills started a small greeting card business that she grew over a few years. It was interesting to learn about how you can start with so little and then grow it into a much larger business.

This week in my entrepreneurial journal, I wanted to write about what I learned about facing fears in business this week. This week we had an assignment about deconstructing our fears in business. It made me realize that when starting your own business there are a lot of things that we have to worry about and take into account in order to keep ourselves above water in case the business doesn’t work out. After doing this assignment something it made me realize that is important is to have some money saved up in case your business fails and you need time to pay back loans and you haven’t got another job yet. I think that we should all try to have 6 months worth of rent and basic living expenses saved up just in case things don’t work out. That way there is a cushion in case you need it.

This week in my class we discussed honesty and business ethics. The church teaches us to always be honest and it is also an extremely important thing when it comes to doing fair business with others. It is also important to have integrity, which means doing the right thing always even when no one is around to see what you are doing. These two qualities are vital when it comes to facing ethical dilemmas. One must know before hand what they will do in a situation that questions their ethics. If they already have it planned out in their mind that they will do the right thing and they will stick to their personal code of conduct or ethics then they will not have an issue when it comes to making a hard decision, because their mind is already made up.

This week as part of my journal I wanted to write about the importance of having goals. In my class we learned about having goals and taking the steps to reach those goals and the ethical boundaries we must set for ourselves when it comes to obtaining those goals.

Entreprenuership

This week in class I learned a lot about why I would want to be an entrepreneur. I really liked the video from the lesson titled "Do What You Love." He explains in this video about pursuing what you really want to do instead of wasting time, effort and money on something you'll be bored with your whole life.
