An Entrepreneurial Journal

Over the semester I have learned many things one being to take risks. I fear often that if I take risks that I will fail. I was encouraged to take chances remember who I am and that God has a plan. I love this quote by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "We all search for happiness, and we all try to find our own 'happily ever after'...All you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow his plan". I hope that I can do that, even when it doesn't have to do with business but in my life. I think I forget to take risks. I have learned in the past that if I don't do what is part of God's plan then he will remove me from my place and make it obvious as to what I need to do. I have also learned to think through things before I make choices. Sometimes we need to make a big choice quick but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't think through it and find out all the information you can. It will be better in the end if you ask. I am thank...

This week what I got out of the readings was to do what makes me happy. I was intrigued by the amount of people talking about doing what you love and not doing a job that will make you unhappy even if you think it will only be for a little while. I think I often in the past have done things just for the money. I know that even if you hate the job but love the people you work with that it helps a lot. But I also think you need to like the company you work for as well. Right now I work as a personal assistant for my aunt. She tends to have me do the work she doesn't like to do. But I enjoy working for her and I like the kids most days. But I think a parent feels that way too. I just get paid for it. I don't mind shipping packages which is also what I do. And normally I love cooking. This week specifically has been hard because we are moving and my aunt and her husband are at Disney World right now. She left me with the kids and lots of moving. But I have loved eating feelings w...

This week one reading that stuck out to me was the talk from 2014 by Elder Holland, Are we not all beggars? I felt as if I was constantly being reminded of the Light the World program being put on by the Church this Christmas season. Elder Holland the Gospel of Luke: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and … set at liberty them that are bruised.” It made me think of how many people care so much more around this Christmas season, we think more about those around us who are poor in spirit or other aspects including finances. It made me think of my family's season of service, instead of presents we give acts of service during the year in the name of the person you are assigned. I was able to ponder my act of service as well as how we are all beggars, we all need prayer and God, just like he said. Based on what you read in the first two pag...
