Now this weeks’ videos felt like there were specially for me. I have always felt that sometimes I am all over the place and in the video with David Carrington he said “the first step of entrepreneurship is really to embrace thinking backwards, not problem solution, solution to problem…to thinking randomly. They take all kinds of input and then come up with solutions that no one else would think. And that’s what makes them entrepreneurs” These words are encouragement to me because I felt that thinking randomly and different process and at the same time come up with where some kind of disorganization or that the entrepreneurship concept was lost for me, but with what David Carrington mention I felt that is a common action of an entrepreneur. Taylor Richards mention Nephi with his challenges and his great enthusiasm to always keep pushing ahead. He also said something that really got to my bones “not underestimating yourself - and the Lord and the great things you can do”. I have experience what Nephi went through with people telling me I couldn’t start my new goals, or que impossible that this could be but we need to ignore the Laman and Lemuel in our lives and keep pushing forward. Eric Ries talks about situations that we con encounter that need little steps to get a solution and sometimes the solution is not what we think, the root of the problems are from other places, and we apply the step by step then we can diagnose where and how to the solution. Now lets mention the message by Elder Holland, his words of encouragement came in the right time in my life, this is what he said: “Don't you quit! You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon. Some come late, and some don't come till Heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be alright in the end. Trust God, and believe in good things to come.” When I was listening to this message this week, was very clear that this words were exactly for me and what I needed to listen to don’t give up, that I am different but is good because I am an entrepreneur.

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, an...

What’s a Business For? Was a great informative article that emphasizes virtue and integrity and the vital role in the economy and according to the author Charles Handy, he compares trust with fragile china that one’s cracked is never the same. He brings his comparison to a business and the trust people put in a business and those who lead it. Because we do business with companies to cover a need and both the company and the customer get the benefit, but now the benefit has been shifted to only the shareholders and not even the employees. But greed has taken over and according to the article there has been a report “that CEOS in America earn more than 400 times the wages of the lowest-paid workers”. With this evidence then integrity and virtue are vital to have the customer's trust and so far we don’t have that and the little we do is getting extinct. According to Handy the real justification for the existence of business is “to make a profit so that the business can do something m...

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...
