Hang in and Hang On


 
When reading The Five Why’s we learn that “for every technical problem, there’s a human problem that caused it. And if you don’t find out what those human problems are your never really going to learn and make progress.”   This is so true, there are so many people who take the “short road” and only do what they must do, but do not think about the ramification that this can cause in other areas. I have found this a lot in past jobs. People not training people the correct way, please not putting processes together and take the steps to ensure something is done properly. You find this all over.

In one of the videos we watched, someone said that we need to find the solutions to the problems first. That if we go into our entrepreneur career thinking this, then we can develop the solutions before to help prevent things in the future.

One of my favorite quotes of the week was by Elder Holland “Sometimes days will be long and the journey difficult, but entrepreneurs hold on to their passion and don’t give up easily” He goes on to say that we need to hang in and hang on. I do not think I can say it better than he did. He said, “


I have had a lot of challenges in my life and some of them have affected me in this very way he is describing.  I know that if I have faith in the Lord he will guide me through and I will be able to hang in and hang on. I will not give up, and I will let Him guide me.

Last Lecture

WOW, the semester is over. I have learned so much in this class. In my last blog, we were asked to give out "last lecture". If I had one final lecture to share with a group, it would be the following. We must decided early on what kind of person you want to be. What do you want your code of conduct to be? What moral compass will you use? And finally, "Who am I" and "Who do I want to become." Two very important questions that we should ask ourselves on a regular basis. The answers will change over time as you grow into the person that you strive to be. I may not know exactly what I want to become at this point, but that is part of the journey that we go through. The key is to believe in yourself and always dream big and take risks. Create your own Personal constitution. Create goals both long term and short term and list how you are going to execute those goals. Create a Stars and Steppingstonges chart to help you along your journey. And lastly, create ...

Attitude on Money

I had a great week. The lessons this week were very relatable to my current situation. I enjoyed the case study activity. There was some great information shared through the discussion group this week. One person said:  "W ork and family cannot be separated one from the other. We need to work to support our family, and working is an expression of love towards them, providing for them. However, we need to remember that our family needs also to be provided with emotions, love, teachings, that can be provided when we spend time with them." This really touched me. I know there are some areas that I can work better at. It was nice to see that other people had some of the same ideas. The case studies gave me great ways to help support my family and ensure that they are number 1 in my life. I am grateful for that. This week we also read an article called Attitude for Money by Stephen W. Gibson. One of my favorite quotes from this was:   "The possession of excess Money ...

7 Habits of Highly Effective People

“That which we persist in doing becomes easier - not that the nature of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased.” — Emerson  This week we learned a lot about the 7 habits of highly effective people. It provided a lot of insight into things that I know I need to work on. Such as time management, being proactive  and keeping the end in mind. I am all about now, and what needs to happen right in this point of time.  Habit 1 - Be proactive.   Being proactive means to "actively choose what our response will be in any situation rather than to react blindly. " It was said to be the granddaddy of all of the 7 habits. We need to take care of our life and take the lead.  Habit 2 - Begin with the end in mind. The main idea that was provided said that "beginning with the end in mind means using an image or paradigm of your character at the end of your life as a frame of reference or criterion by which everything is examined. Each part of your ...
