Week 3 Reflection

 I think that something that was really inspiring and resonated with me, was the fact that a lot of information was shared about the importance of Ethics. I think a lot of times we forget about the importance of Ethics, unless we are experiencing or seeing something unethical going on. I think that it is important to recognize that you want the best for your company, but you need to also create a company/business where being the best you is accepted and enough. I think it was especially interesting to hear about the stories mentioned by Frank Levinson, and how he mentioned about the two men he had at the company. One who did some things he did not particularly like, and the other who was smart but was very dishonest. It seems that by letting go of the first man, and going with the second, that he made a mistake because the second one made up lies about him and ended up costing him his job. I personally think it is important to recognize the type of people we are letting into our businesses before it is too late. You want to create an environment and have boundaries within your business, and ethical codes that will allow great people to thrive. But also be weary of those who do not have ethics, and make sure that you can recognize that before it is too late. I hope to be aware of this, and continually better myself to understand more about ethics and how it can work for my business so that I do not make any detrimental mistakes in my company.

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 especially helpful. I desire to do thi
