My Learning Experiences From this Week

I am currently taking "The Introduction to Entrepreneur" course. This course is not to help me prepare a business plan. However, it will help me explore about me and prepare my personal plan before any business plan. 

This is a startup of me where I will know how to explore my calling, how to create meaning and how to measure my success. 

Life will have a lot of twists and turns and sometimes failures. I am committed to have the courage and commitment to get up and move on when I fail. I can get up because I will have the strength from my instructions, videos, case studies, and other books (my friends). 

This course will help me know what I need to know, skills I need to attain and changes I need to make. Most importantly, there will be guides where I know how to navigate my journey independently and collectively. 

Here are the things that I learn from my reading this week: 

Elder David A. Bednar: 

We must be faithful and competent. If we have skills, techniques, knowledge and FAITH, we can achieve ANYTHING. We must build real power to have a strong resistance, not just the academic path of least resistance where we only want to get through or pass the test only. We must sacrifice and consecrate to be better in building the Kingdom. 

Living Life as an Entrepreneurial Hero by Jeff Sandefer:

Entrepreneur digs, discovers, changes and enriches lives. He reorganizes difficulties for growth. He never gives up and can live independently. We can dream big and start small. Small plan cannot stir the blood.

To learn about calling, we look at the intersection between our gift/talent, joy/passion and world's deep needs. 

Here are my 4 goals:

1. To discover my callings, the startup of me;

2. To choose constructive habits and characters;

3. To select my next stepping stones;

4. To embrace disciple leadership;


The 3 questions that will shape my ethical guardrail

1. What have I accomplished?

2. Was I a good person?

3. Who did I love and who loved me?

I am looking forward to reading the books that will be introduced to me. I want to learn how I can change myself and apply the knowledge along the journey.

A Course That Blesses My Life Right Away

  From January to April 2023, I took the course on the introduction to entrepreneurship. This course is a big blessing for me. This course changed me right away from the start. I have learned about the creating of life of meaning , the three questions to ask to measure my life; the stars and steppingstone and ethics; the gratitude and the celebration of my life.

My Most Meaningful Habit: Begin with the End in Mind

  Out of the seven habits of highly effective people, my most meaningful habit it “Begin with the End in Mind”. The book reads “ There’s a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation. The first creation can be either by conscious design, or as a result of outside pressures. In real life, w hen the artist draws something, he already has a clear picture of what he is drawing. It is not possible that he draws when he is thinking about what to draw. If I have a clear vision of my destination, my efforts would be more effective and productive in my daily activities. When we begin with the end in mind, our lives cam be more meaningful and stay on the righteous personal constitution. The book explains that a personal constitution is a written standard, the key criterion by which everything is evaluated and direct. Personal constitution shows the end state in mind. It shows who we are, what we do and what valued we are based on. Without it, we will wander around back and ...

Gratitude, Lifelong Learning, Hurdles of the Enterprepreneur and the Risks

  This is week 13 of the course of Introduction to the Entrepenurship. This week my Church leader taught about the gratitude. We should reflect and thanks those who have been helpful to us such as father, mother, teacher, friends, and especially God. After that I had to answer questions for my assignment. Question: How did being a lifelong learner benefit Haykin's career? How could it benefit yours? My Answer:  Kaykin is a lifelong learner and his lifelong learning benefits so much to his career. He went to study at Harvard Business School. He focused on entrepreneurship and technology. His professors persuaded him to get experience in sales and dealing with customers so that he would become a leader someday, and he took the advice. He learned from his responsibilities as a Multimedia Developer Program manager. He had to do many tasks starting from development until product delivery and to work with many people. He learned to notice extra opportunities.  He learned a...
