There were a lot of things that I really enjoyed in the
reading. The things that I liked were the following, “The old saying that
“money will not buy you happiness” turns out to be supported by all of our
latest scientific research. You likely are as happy today as you ever will be.
More money, power or sex will have little, if any, effect on your long-term
happiness, satisfaction or fulfillment. Despite all of your daily worries, you
likely will end your life quite satisfied, though not necessarily fulfilled. The
greatest threat to you leading a fulfilling life is a misguided pursuit of
happiness that blinds you to the possibility of a more meaningful Hero’s Journey.”
The thing I also liked was when it said, Live in a free country that minimizes
life-threatening poverty. You will not be happy if someone in the government
controls your life. There is a marked difference between people who live in
countries controlled by authoritarian regimes and those who live in freedom.
While the effects of material wealth are limited, extreme poverty does breed
unhappiness. 6 More money does not result in more happiness once you are barely
comfortable, but poverty that threatens life itself leads to long-lasting
unhappiness. I really liked these.

This week's class assignments were really exciting and
enjoyed them thoroughly. some of the things I enjoyed were Heart of an
Entrepreneur reading and I learned some cool things. I also enjoyed the talk A
Challenge to Become by Dallin H Oaks. I really liked when Dallin H Oaks said, "Now is the
time for each of us to work toward our personal conversion, toward becoming
what our Heavenly Father desires us to become. As we do so, we should remember
that our family relationships—even more
than our Church callings—are the setting in which the most important part of
that development can occur. The conversion we must achieve requires us to be a
good husband and father or a good wife and mother. Being a successful Church
leader is not enough. Exaltation is an eternal family experience, and it is our
mortal family experiences that are best suited to prepare us for it." I
think this was really cool and I know these are just as important as the things
we learn about business. We need to know
what things we have as an priority and know that we just are not entrepreneurs
to make money but are entrepreneurs to support our families. It's all very
important.

There are several things that I really liked in the reading
and assignments we had to do this week for this class. The first thing I
enjoyed was in A Message to Garcia and it said, frequently report your progress
with objective measures. Whenever possible, provide samples of your work.
Instead of asking how to accomplish a task, show what you have done so far. If
you are off course, you’ll get immediate feedback to put you back on the right
path. I really liked that a lot because it shows us that we can get help when
we need it and the employer will show us when we got off on the wrong path. The
second thing I liked was from the same reading and it said, “Everyone has
special God-given gifts. Discover yours and accept challenges that allow you to
practice and perfect these skills. Develop a reputation for mastering a discipline
and extraordinary opportunities will seek you out. I really enjoyed that
because it shows us that we need to discover how we can take our god given
abilities and how we can take those and grow them and make them strengths. I
think that is highly valuable in today’s business world.

I this week in my
introduction to entrepreneurship class was really interesting to say the least.
Their were a lot of things that I enjoyed. The thing I enjoyed most was when I
read the What's a Business for was really powerful. There were several things from
that. The first was when it talked about the economy. I think virtue and integrity is vital to the economy because
we need honesty people to but rejuvenate the economy by buying things and that
money goes back into the economy. If they are dishonesty and steal instead of
buying then money does not go back into the economy. That was the main thing
that I got out of that. Other things that I got out of it was that those who
contribute their skills to the economy are just as important as those that put
their money into the economy. I think that is so important to realize that
influences the economy so much. I think these are all so important
for entrepreneurs to know why it is important to value the customers of your
business and that they are just important towards being an entrepreneur. If
there are no customer than you can’t be an entrepreneur.
