B 183 S Entrepreneurial Journal Week 12 entry 13
This week the theme was: A Journey of Gratitude. We turned
in a book report “So You Think You Want to be an Entrepreneur?” We started reading: “A Field Guide for the
Hero’s Journey.” We studied Thomas S. Monson’s April 1992 “An attitude of
Gratitude.” We watched E corner videos
“Avoid the Wrong Job” by Stan Christensen and “Paths to an Entrepreneur Career”
by Ted Zoller of the Kauffman Foundation.
A few things I really liked about President Monson’s talk was the poem:
Accentuate the positive;
Eliminate the negative,
Latch onto the affirmative,
Don’t mess with Mr. In- between.
He helps remind us about those individuals in our
lives to whom we have and should have much gratitude for: Our Mothers, Fathers,
Teachers, Friends, Spouse, Country and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Stan Christensen teaches us that “bad decisions
come from making unnecessary assumptions.” He teaches us to “Not try to
outguess what someone wants to hear on a resume, tell YOUR story.” “To avoid the wrong job, we should “pick
something that is fun and that we enjoy.”
He also teaches us to
“Position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities when they come up.”
Ted Zoller showed us that there are many paths to
success. They look differently for each
individual and industry. There are some
similarities, but it seems that if at some point, you “start a company, then go
fuel a company for a big corporation and then back into a small company, you
will find the sweet spot for entrepreneurs.”
It has been a wonderful week filled with appreciation and
wonderful blessings from recognizing those blessings.
