Week 13

I loved all of the articles and videos for this week. I learned from Ted Zoller that there are different paths to your entrepreneurial career. He said learn something in the companies you work for so that you can leverage it when you are building your entrepreneur career. I thought this was interesting, and to me it meant to gain and learn all you can from the different enterprises and corporations you will be working for because there will be a time where you can use it as leverage with building your own entrepreneur career. Another article that stuck out to me this week was President Thomas S. Monson’s article on An Attitude of Gratitude. Reading the article just gave me this deep gratitude for all that I have and especially for this opportunity to take classes through BYU-Idaho. After graduating high school, I always had planned to graduate with my bachelor’s degree. This opportunity to learn and grow at BYU-Idaho has made me so thankful for the chance to be able to get to go back to school and finish something I started out over 20 years ago. President Monson said, “This is a wonderful time to be living here on earth. Our opportunities are limitless.” I loved that he said this because it’s so true especially during this 21st century of so many opportunities! I also loved this quote from President Monson where he says, “We can lift ourselves and others as well when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude.” He is basically saying that we can choose not to be negative, and that when we choose this, we can lift ourselves and others and harvest within us an attitude of gratitude. I really liked this and printed out and put it up in my room so I could always remember this. I am looking forward to learning all that I learned from this week’s articles and videos and being able to apply it to my own entrepreneurial journey. I am also looking forward to experiencing learning all that I can from my mentor’s and from my classes to help me as well.
