A hero’s Journey video for this week taught me these key takeaways, first “Find great role models and ask them great questions” this is a very inviting and reminder that we are not alone and we can always have allies in our way to becoming that we want to accomplish. Another powerful key that I will treasure forever is three questions he asked 1) Have I contributed something meaningful? 2) Was I a good person? And 3) who did I love, and who loved me? These questions I will apply to me and my search for my calling in life to one day I can contribute to someone’s entrepreneur way. I am eager to apply the experiment to help to find my calling. The speaker in the video suggested asking 5 people that know me very well and ask them what I am good at and what do they think that my calling is in life? And I agree sometimes people around us can pinpoint that better than ourselves. He also said “think of the last time you lost track of time while doing something”, that is a deep reflection, and as I think more about that my mind goes to my hobbies. He invites everyone to write down and have the determination to set ethical guard rails, to protect ourselves when a big temptation to cheat or do something that we can get into trouble, surround ourselves with extraordinary people that help us to grow and not to set up back. All this speech is powerful and so many people think that being successful means have a lot of money, this speaker in the “Hero’s Journey” said that being rich is about spending less money than you make so your time belongs to you. I remember that I heard on one occasion that in the end we want time for ourselves with our worry about our needs. Sometimes we don’t need all the money in the world, but we need our world to be a happy place our families take care of and harmony, that is a success.

Dallin H. Oaks quoted this story about a father that told his son: “All that I have I desire to give you—not only my wealth but also my position and standing among men. That which I have I can easily give you, but that which I am you must obtain for yourself.” It will be easy to just expect everything that our Father in Heaven has for us handed with no effort. This week I interview a great example of entrepreneurship and she mentions that her daughters are anxiously waiting for her to pass the business to them and she said that she will never do that unless they are willing to work and learn from the bottom of the business up. Taylor Richards mention that after establishing his boat dealership they were invited to have this count down of the best dealerships in North America and the first time they ranked No. 11 and the second time No. 6, he said that he is a normal person with a great team. This teaches me that yes we want to become entrepreneurs but we need help along the way and ...

This week I had the opportunity to listen Randy Pausch Last Lecture and he mentions about when he was little his family went to Disneyland and he had this dream to create things like that. But what I think help him to achieved those dreams are his parents that didn’t stop him for dreaming. The video mentions that his parents let him write in the walls mathematical formulas and those are still on the walls until this day. He asked all the parents a special favor that is their kids want to paint their room, please let them. This request could have come pretty handy if my parents would have listened to this request earlier. One summer me and my sisters wanted to paint our room in pastel colors and my parents didn’t let us and the following summer my parents went on a business trip and we painted our room by the time they came back, there is a saying that said “Is better to ask for forgiveness then ask for permission” and that is what we did. Going back to childhood dreams, I think those ...

When Jim Ritchie mentions in this week’s video that our time is almost over with his videos. I felt first that I need to go back and listen to his videos again and then I got a little sad that this time is going fast because I feel for the first time the joy of learning. Jim Ritchie mentions some key qualities from a leader that covers all the other videos and readings for this week. He said, “My favorite definition of a true leader is a person who takes others to higher ground”. Sometimes we don’t need to have the leader title to take other people to higher ground, I like how Guy Kawasaki said that there are pie eaters and bakers, pie eaters take the chance to get the advantage over other people, but we know that the bakers are seeking actively to make more pies and reach out for everyone to have what they need and help everyone, even help the pie eaters. This is how bakers take others to higher ground. Carly Fiorina said, “think leadership is about three things: capability, colla...
