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.

Jeff Hawkins as well talks about effective choices and his decision to eat breakfast and dinner with his family and he is a great entrepreneur that made the choice of always being close to his happy place.
