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.

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...
