Before reading this topic, my attitude toward money had always been ‘make money and give my family the best life they deserve”. But after reading this article, I have realized that my attitude toward money has changed to “seek money righteously through hard work and be a blessing to others”. Money is the driving force for people’s hard work and I hold a strong believe that we need it to do so many things as far as temporal things are concerned. I believe that having money is a good thing. The scriptures teach that we are to “seek for riches..” but more important is “..for the intend of doing good..” Having money is one thing and what you use it for is another thing. The Lord has counseled us to not let pride swallow us become of the abundant material things we have. When pride sets in when we b

                                                            WEEK 10 This week was amazing with lots principles taught. These principles are the guide to entrepreneurial journey. As an entrepreneur, one thing you should be guided by is; Thinking Big. Most often than not, people enter into entrepreneurship believing that they are going to do well, get the money and live good lives. Along the path, they start to doubt their capabilities when challenges come along. But first, every entrepreneur must have the enthusiasm to do more; to do more than now. Dream big; think big. In order to do this, entrepreneurs should not over underestimate  yourselves. Every person can do anything, you just need faith and believing in yourself. Entrepreneurs should have the courage to say ‘I can achieve this’. Set good goals and visions and work on them according to priority. Pursue your goals and never let anyone weigh you down. However, in every step along the path, involve your maker. Pray for help and

                                                                    WEEK 09 Aspects of Building Trust In building trust with others, you need to first trust them. You trusting others will enable them trust you as well. When trusting business in business, you need to “set your default to yes”. Listen to what they have to say regarding a particular subject of interest. Listen to understand them not to answer them. People in businesses feel confident if their leader resorts to their help in solving a pending problem. You should help people that work for or with you. Build them to become better at what they do. As an entrepreneur, your biggest assets are your human resource. So, helping them to help you should be an important matter to you. Instead of focusing on what others do to help you, rather consider asking yourself “what can I do to help this person?” Hiring Ethical People Hire people who are generally good people and kind people. People that have compassion towards one ano

                                                                      WEEK 08 This week was really both an inspiring and motivational lesson. Now these are some of the awesome things I learned from the video lessons. As an entrepreneur, I learned, you can do anything you set your heart upon. Looking at the example of the Nephi, a Book of Mormon prophet, his brothers ridiculed him when he tried building a ship to sail through the great waters. With God and hard work, the ancient holy scriptures, the Book of Mormon, records, he was able to build the ship. Why? Because he trusted in the Lord. As an entrepreneur, you need luck and the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t work on your own strength. Subject to the whispering of the Holy Spirit to know what to do and what not to do. If you include the Lord in everything you do, He will increase your knowledge and open more doors for you. Another thing to consider as an entrepreneur is don’t underestimate your capacity. Believe in yourself and whate

                                                        Week 07                                                                         Out of the seven habits, I really loved the first part; “be proactive”. In business, being proactive is very key. It changes the stages of the whatever you invest in. We are able to change the course of business when emergencies come along. We have the ability to own our actions. So being proactive means to activity choose what your response will be in any situation rather than to react blindly. Being proactive exposes us to learn and understand the business trends and what is expected of us. I learned some pretty good stuffs that I want to share out here. There is really something very significant I learned about “Passion and Money” in business. The golden rule is that you don’t enter into business because you want to be rich. That in it sense is beginning of failure. You enter into business to change the world. You venture into business be
