Week 10 Thoughts and Quotes

The biggest concept I learned throughout this week is that entrepreneurs should take risks.  You don't want to be a trustee when you can compete and do great things through taking those risks.  Also I enjoyed the quote by Taylor Richards when he said not to underestimate yourself , when you involve the Lord you can do great things.  Also, in license to pursue it was very interesting to hear how 2 1/2 times the output was made when google introduced 20% time to their employees. They gained more out of the employees using their personal time  to work on projects, then when they were normally working. By letting them do whatever they want, they were able to fuel their creativity and innovation's which in turn made more products to sell for Google. 
 After hearing from brother Richie, I would love to read the book you're emotional fingerprint, it sounds as if this would be a great book to help out our endeavors through the entrepreneurial process.

Week 8 Thoughts and quotes

Thoughts this week 8- The readings and videos were both really interesting this week, however, I particularly enjoyed the readings.  Elder Holland and President Monson both had excellent talks.  The point and greatest lesson I took away was perseverance in spite of what challenges life throws at us.   Taylor Richards in the video You Can Do Anything, says that we should keep moving forward and do the right things but always remember to involve the Lord. He also said don't ever under estimate yourself or the Lord. I think that if we can remember these aspects throughout our lives it will help when we end up facing trials.  David Carrington said we normally find the problems to solutions instead of finding the solution to the problem. We need to come up with solutions and when we do that can make us great entrepreneurs.  In order to be a good entrepreneur we need to clearly know who we are and what the brand is that we want.  In the book, A Field Guide To ...

Week 13 Thoughts and Quotes

Thoughts: This weeks readings continue to solidify my stance on how we should balance or lives and the directions we need to go to make that happen.  What I’ve noticed from reading and watching the videos is figuring out where you are at in your life and the struggle to decide which direction is best to get you to where you want to be.  As always, making goals are a huge part of that.  Most of the advice I’ve noticed throughout the semester and especially this week in watching the videos is in regards to starting things out right out of college.  Most videos agree to start with an enterprise to get your feet wet before moving on to your life’s greatest desires.  They caution to make a job fun!  Don’t go into career knowing you are going to hate it but struggle to get through it for a few years.  You should take a job that matters to you and that you will enjoy. My final takeaway this week is in regards to your entrepreneurial business.  You’ve s...

Week 6 insights: The readings were so great and informative this week.  The Harvard paper was lengthy, but some of the information was really great.  Learning about the many ways one can create their own business venture.  Such as, taking a product and making it better.  Buying out an already existing venture and making it your own.  Starting a new venture from scratch, and creating a new venture based on a product that is new and being developed.
