My Entrepreneurial Journey Week 2

 My Entrepreneurial Journey Week 2                                            9-25-21


WHAT I LEARNED

This has been a rough week. We found out some bad things happened in our family. Not our immediate family, but closely related. It has taken a toll on our family emotionally as we help other family members navigate through their feelings. We also had an unexpected death in the family, and on top of it all, I started my (insert bad  descriptive word here) this week. Which means heightened emotions, bad headaches and excruciating cramps. So to say the least, school work was not in any sort of order, other than trying really hard to get it done on time, and with good effort. I took a lot of notes, and would like to say that I remember them. However, I have had to go back and look at them quite a bit. I did however, learn some fun things about myself. I learned that I haven't gone too far off of my career path of choice that I had as a child. When I was young, I always wanted to be a teacher, or a writer. In taking a career test I learned that a lot of the career paths that coincide with my passions and desire for my family have to do with teaching in some sort or another. I never would have thought to even contemplate becoming an Adult Literacy Instructor. I am super excited to dive a lot more into this career choice, as well as my next two choices of becoming a Writer or Author, and also Social Media Specialist.(*A)

My favorite new random fact that I learned this week and have shared with my husband and daughter is how WD 40 got its name.  Which is W- Water, D- Displacement, 40 because Thomas Jefferson tried and failed 39 times to make the correct formula, but succeeded on his 40th try. (*B)


WHAT I STILL NEED TO LEARN

I am really finding that as I study about Stars and Steppingstones that I am fascinated by this. I am excited to dive further into this course and this concept to learn more about myself and the career paths that fit my personality and desires.  I still have several terms to learn, like Protagonist, synthesize, and haphazard.

Week 5 of my Entrepreneurial Journey

WHAT I LEARNED I feel as though I am being tested to see how badly I want this! Will I be like Erica Mills (*a), and take every opportunity, good and bad to learn and grow? Will I just say, "I am a mom and wife and that is where I need to be", and push my entrepreneurial journey aside? This isn't even a real question to me after this week! We have had two very unexpected deaths occur in the past week. One was a very beloved lady in our ward. Seemingly very healthy, and this news came as a huge shock to all who knew her. Glee lived her namesake, that's for sure. The other happened just a few days later. My husband's uncle had just spent two weeks with his daughter and their family, before traveling cross country to live with his sister and brother in law. He did not make it. He was found face first on the side of the road by a trucker. Again, young, healthy and a complete shock. The next huge event was one we have been dealing with for a couple of months now. We de...

My Journey continues with week 6

                                                                                                                                             10-23-21 WHAT I LEARNED I would like to say that this week was a phenomenal one and that I learned a ton. The reality is, this week stunk so bad! My family has had so many trial lately, as have some of our best friends. Plus everyone in our house was sick a couple of days. I found myself very thankful for a light week with school. On top of it all, I rolled my right ankle so badly, that the outside was swollen to the size of a softball....

Week 11

                                                                                                                         11-27-21 WHAT I LEARNED This week was a crazy busy, yet very blessed Thanksgiving week. My favorite part about this week was by far reading "Formula for Success", by Thomas S. Monson. The part the stood out to me the most was the following; "From those parables I would like to suggest that if we are really to be, a chosen generation, we have the responsibility to be prepared, to be productive, to be faithful, and to be fruitful as well........" He goes on to explain how we are to accomplish this. He says; "First, f...
