Week 2 

Entrepreneur Journal:




The inspiration that I gained from this week came directly from the speech given by Randy Pausch. He was a Professor of computer science and believed in childhood dreams should be our pathway to individualism and a better life. He stated, "It's not how you achieve your dream but how you lead your life. If you lead your life the right way the karma will take care of itself." Although Randy has a profound reason to encourage us to live our childhood dream, he did so in a courageous and hopeful way. Albeit, these are the blessing from Heavenly Father in accordance with living a faithful life and working towards accomplishing goals.

 I realized that when we dream, we should inherently put them to the test. A dream is just a thought or expression of one's imagination until we put it into motion. I have learned from Tom Kelly that we should treat life, dreams, and aspirations like an experiment. I truly believe that failing forward helps us achieved many of our dreams through the process of experimentation. Nathan Hawthorne said, "Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."

My childhood dream was to be educated, be self-sustaining and own a business. Throughout the years, I have achieved these dreams and realized that there are more obstacles like brick walls that cause cessation of your abilities to keep you from further success. Thus, only allowing you to be just a dreamer. Despite the difficulties, I have faced, I took the necessary steps to start my educational journey starting with Pathways. This dream has led me to see my potential and given me a light to better experiences

I have learned this week to create a path of steppingstones to ensure the balance, alignment, and accountability. In addition, we should find our own star and life is not a destination but rather a journey. Also, remember that we can all strive towards perfection through the atonement of Jesus Christ. 

BUS 110 Journal

Week 1 

Entrepreneur Journal:

        In this week's learning, I was able to see the potential of having a journal and writing in it weekly. The value of the lesson goes beyond what my thoughts and understandings have been to the subject. I have owned my own business for years before returning to school, and I can see the value of the amalgamation of the process. Having a preconceived notion that there was no value has been due to poor judgment and comprehension. Thus, I have gained a new insight into learning and how this can be a powerful tool for success today and the future. While I was in operation, I could have kept track of my daily, weekly and monthly progress, goals and aspirations.

 Starting with a date for each entry, combined with Lessons Learned section, Lessons Not Yet Learned section and a reference and categorization method will help keep it organized. The Lessons learned section should consist of observations, real-world exercise, and reflection. The Lessons Not Learned section should consist of things that you don't comprehend and mastered yet. In the reference and categorization method, you will have previously encountered problems and the skill used to solve it. In addition to that, adding an index will help keep everything organized with a quick reference guide.

 Taking time to reflect on daily activities will help me be better engaged in my operation and will hold me accountable for decisions and the functionalities related to my company.  However, my input is only as good as I apply the theory to my practice. In addition, what are the things that I can use to my advantage and incorporate for further success? I hope to build upon my reflections as well as gain new insights and strategies. New methods of my personal affair will include my instructor, classmates, family, and friends.
