If I can give a lecture or advice and direction to someone to begin the entrepreneur journey will be to myself. I choose myself because I learned that whatever you wish for you, wish it for everyone else. I would put a title of the Letter of Emergency that is advised in the book Hero’s Journey by Jeff Sandefer and Rev. Robert Sirico. Emergency Letter Remember why you choose to be here, what fuels you to be in this journey? and I want to remind you that this is your place and is not an easy one. Sometimes I want to think that entrepreneurship chooses you and not the other way around. Entrepreneur road is not an easy one and you were ok with this. Remember your rules, your safe guardrails which are: I will always put my God and Family first. I will always conduct myself and my business with integrity. I will always look to help and benefit others with my actions and business. I will never disrespect someone's culture, values, or beliefs. I will never be dishonest in my doings and business. I will never work or make someone work on the Sabbath day. Jan Newman advised, “Always be a light to the world through your actions and your integrity”. Mastering needs practice and patience with yourself and if you are reading this letter is because you need more patience. Don’t get obsessed because you see everyone around you reaching their goals first but concentrate on your perspective of what you want to accomplish. Jim Ritchie is one of your favorite entrepreneurs’ authors, always go back to his counsel the Formula of Happiness is “get up early, work hard, get your education, get trained, find your oil, make your mark, and can get prepared to serve or give back” I think that this can’t be clearer because though this formula you find yourself and your purpose. Don’t please anyone if your happiness and no one will be handed to you easily. You have to be ready always to learn from around you and the next step will come. Remember to always have time for yourself and recharge for when the trials come to play a hard time in your road, you will be ready. Never forget you are an entrepreneur through and through.

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...
