Graci's Life

I have been able to reflect on this past semester for this entrepreneur class. I have learned so much and have been given great advice, and direction of what I can do to be successful. One thing that I learned the most throughout this semester is to learn how to take risks and learn how to not look back. One of the sections I love the most was about dreaming, big and how that can help us to be able to do the things we want to do. We talked about how when we are given a choice and we are given different challenges if we dream big and rely on ourselves and rely on others to help us then we can make it far in life. I love that this class would go hand-in-hand with all of the gospel teachings from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We can learn so much from our profits and apostles on becoming and doing better. This class taught us that we have all the right tools and all the right people in our lives to become more than what we think and to become what we dream of becoming. ...

This week we were able to learn so much about being grateful I am on the journey to find gratitude. One of my favorite parts about this week's readings and videos was the case study about the making of an entrepreneur. This case study was so inspiring as it talks about Randy’s life and how he reflects on leadership and the risks and rewards that he got to the point where he is now. I really enjoyed it as he talked about his own strengths and weaknesses and now he likes to look at them as they are very successful and how he is grateful for the minds and attitude that he had. He talks a lot about how when you change your mindset you can get more things done, and you can be very successful. And I type that a lot into being grateful and having gratitude. I think that at times we can let ourselves still frustrated because of our weaknesses that we have or the rest that we have to take.

We can learn a lot from the article  What’s a Business For? When Charles Handy talks about integrity and virtue, he emphasizes that these are crucial skills and attributes to develop when building a business. Integrity and virtue require a great deal of trust, whether between the customer and the business owner or among business partners. When we trust each other and hold one another to high standards, we can truly be successful and accomplish what needs to be done. He also discusses how business is not just for the satisfaction of the business owner or the customer, but for both. He mentions that when you combine the two—serving both the business and the customer—it makes a significant difference and helps create mutual support. One solution he proposes in the article is the concept of long-term versus short-term goals. Handy explains that this distinction provides businesses with a framework to determine which decisions need to be made immediately and which ones can wait longer.
