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 because your services are going to change certain aspects of human life. The focus should be to bring relief to people. Because there are a lot of people that have changed the world with their business but are or were never rich. Riches may come along the way, but should not be your primary focus. 

Most entrepreneurs fail in business not because they don’t have ideas or are not smart enough but because their focus was on wealth not passion for the business. So, we they realize the money they expected is not coming, they feel they are losers and failures and end up quitting their business or selling it to others. So, as an entrepreneur, your perception has to change from many money to having passion for it. “No matter how a person works on their attitude, they won’t change if they don’t change perception”. 

These are the 7 things in order that can really be helpful to  entrepreneurs;
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. Set your priorities and put first things first.
4. Think win and win
5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
6. Synergies and,
7. Sharpen the saw. Take time off and nourish yourself spiritually, emotionally and physically.

I look forward to seeing what lesson 8 has to offer. I’m excited for this week’s lessons.

                                                                    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 yours...

                                                                  WEEK 14 My final lecture to everyone is simple; The entrepreneurial journey is one for people who are not easily gag down by failures and disappointment. This journey, the entrepreneurial journey, is one that is full of struggles and failures, but one thing I have learned from this course is every entrepreneur can be successful—only if they don’t give up and quit when trials come their way. Entrepreneurial journey is a journey for the Heros; people that have the spirit of not quitting, or getting discouraged along the way. Every successful entrepreneur we have seen or known have, at some point in the entrepreneurial journey, had to deal with disappointments and failures. Had they gave up, maybe, the world would not be the way it is for us. We are all famili...

                                                              WEEK 13 Finishing strong this week*** One thing really interesting that I learned this week is the pathway to success. It’s interesting how a potential entrepreneur can make the most of his career by working for other companies. Working in corporations or companies before starting your own exposes you to gain in-depth understanding of how to manage your own business better. It also gives you more understanding on how to run, relate with others; customers and workers alike, how to manage challenges when they come, and the exposer to many risks and how to tackle them. It doesn’t mean that successful entrepreneurs must necessarily have to work for corporations before venturing into their business, however, having worked with a corporations before starting your own business...
