LESSONS LEARNED

This week has been full of learning. For starters, I have no ideas what I am doing, starting a blog. I know that as I go forward in this class, I will learn, mess up, adjust and learn some more. I learned a lot about navigating the BYUI Introduction to Entrepreneur class page. I learned that I will want to start my assignments for this class on the first day of the week, as it is far more work than all of my Pathway classes put together. I learned why it is that we should always start with the end in mind. I have hard this phrase many times before. It wasn't until I read all the assignments and watched the videos that it actually made sense to me though. I learned that it is "much greater to be faithful and competent" (*A) than it is to be one or the other.  I learned the difference between sacrifice and consecration. Sacrifice pertains to only mortality. It is giving up things of this world. It is motivated by faith. Consecration as taught by Ezra Taft Benson is a covenant that we make of our time, talents, strength, property, and money for the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God. (*B)


LESSONS NOT YET LEARNED

There are a lot of things that I have read about this week, and look forward to applying them to my life, as I learn them. One of those is to DREAM BIG! "Make no small plans for they have no power to stir the blood." (Daniel Burnham) I like this quote, and will be praying about it, and trying to understand it better, as I learn to Dream Big!(*C) I came across a few words, that I have no clue what they mean. I wrote them down, so I can go back and study them throughout this course, and learn what they mean. These words are; Socratic Teaching, archeypal patterns, protagonist. I am learning, but don't completely grasp the meaning of Ethical Guardrails, and Stars and Callings, Blogging, and how to reference and categorize. I have a lot to learn, and look forward to doing so each week in this class.


REFERENCE AND CATEGORIZATION

(*A)  "Your whole souls as an offering unto Him"

(*B)   "BYUI Mission Statement"

(*C)  "Living Life as an Entrepreneurial Hero" By: Jeff Sandler

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...
