Week 1 Reflection

 What did you learn from this week’s readings and videos?

I think that a lot of things stood out to me. Something I enjoyed learning was that we should be having Plan A, Plan B, and Plan Z. I think it is something really important and a lot of times, we end up focusing on just one option that could definitely work out, another that could maybe work out and then our worst nightmare. I think by providing ourselves with different options and being open to seeing what will work best for us in our paths, is an incredible thing. Apart from this, I also enjoyed learning about the steps to become an entrepreneurial hero. I think a lot of times we look beyond what really goes into becoming an entrepreneur, and just say "oh, that person has a lot of money." But, by reading and studying the topics this week, I have come to realize that it goes beyond that. Living a life of intent and trying to make the world a better place not only helps us further our goals, but can ultimately help change the world and others. 

What are you looking forward to learning and experiencing?

I am looking forward to learning and experiencing a lot of things during my time in this course. I sincerely believe that I will be able to learn and grow, depending on the amount of time and effort that I personally put into this course. I enjoyed what Elder Bednar said when he shared that, "we should avoid (the) academic path of least resistance." I think in today's world, we get so caught up in choosing the easiest things because that is what we are offered everywhere we look. I think it is important to recognize that if you put work in, you will get a great reward. I truly believe that this class will push me but will also be a good thing that will not only help me in my personal life, but also as a businesswoman and entrepreneur. I look forward to continuing my education and working towards my goals!

Week 13 Reflection

This week was great and I felt like I was really able to learn a lot of things from the Week 13 readings. I genuinely enjoyed what I learned from the case study we did on Randy Haykin. I felt like I was able to see so many different things in that case study and recognizing things I wish to do in my future. Randy's story is really a remarkable one, seeing the way that he was able to become an entrepreneur. It seemed as though he was almost pushed into the life of an entrepreneur due to deciding what was most important for him. It was so incredible and impactful to understand that when someone else was making a choice for him on what and where he needed to be for work, he decided that he wanted something else for himself and his family. He was able to make an incredible choice and figure out what was really important to him and in his life. He was able to make a big decision and never look back, and from there he started his entrepreneurial career. Randy was also able to triple his ...

Week 5 Reflection

 I really enjoyed this week's studies and all that I was able to learn. I especially enjoyed the case study that we reviewed on Mills and her business. One of my favorite things to learn about this case study, was seeing the importance of Mills and everything that went into the decisions she made. I think a lot of time, I personally have judged people who own businesses and do not really understand what goes into creating those businesses. I think it is important to understand the time and hard work that go into them. Personally, I feel like reading this case study helped me understand more about what I want to do in the future and how I would like to go about growing my business. I think that I would choose the faster growth option and be able to focus more of my efforts on the things I am really good at, but hire people out for the parts that may be harder for me to manage and/or understand. I think that this would be helpful for Mills in her business. I am excited to continue to...

Week 12 Reflection

     There were a lot of interesting concepts that I was able to learn and better understand this week from the study materials that I had been given. I thought it was very interesting to learn more about how entrepreneurs work and how they can grow to experience and find success. I learned more about the importance in finding something that you are passionate about and feel that you could do every single day. This can end up being something that helps you become very successful in your life and business. I also thought it was interesting and great to learn about how you can figure out how to better yourself in whatever you do end up pursuing.       I am excited to figure out how I can better apply these principles into my professional and personal life and how they can help me better. I think that a lot of the times the best things we can do for ourselves is figure out how we learn and grow and learning from others or from our own experiences are espe...
