Week 09 Reflection Entrepreneurial Journal


Throughout the course of this week, the study materials were tremendously beneficial to me, each topic in the readings and videos has taught me a great deal lessons as a person aiming for higher ground in my career. There are number of insights that I learn that will go a long way that will ensure my way forward and save me from making decisions that will damage my career. 

First and foremost, I will share some insight learning from "Good to Great"

  • Good is the enemy of great.
  • Most good people find a comfort zone in their goodness, and never discover the joy and inner peace that comes from discovering greatness.
  • We were not sent to earth to be mediocre player, but we have the responsibility even to learn the lessons of greatness and then use them to take ourselves to higher ground.
Second, insights learning from "Achieving Higher Ground"
  • A leader is someone or a person who takes others to higher ground.
  • Leaders stand up for something of importance and they motivate others to do the same without rewards
  • Leaders cause things to happen and motivate people by their willing conviction. 

Third, insights from "A Message to Garcia"

  • The ability to execute is more valuable than education or talent, because it is far rarer.
  • It is impossible to build an effective organization without delegating important tasks to talented and capable people.
  • Courage isn’t the absence of fear but rather the ability to act in the face of it.
Each week I looked forward to great learning experiences in this course and to use what I learn to foster and mitigate the things I learn.
In conclusion, this course has been great, as a student I am learning to move from good to great.

Week 05 Reflection Journal

I oftentimes find myself reflecting upon my life if I haven't found the gospel of Jesus Christ, where would I be? What would I be doing? The gospel does bring light and truth to my life.We are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, He loves us unconditionally and will always provides ways for us to overcome our challenges in this life. Since lately my faith have been tested in so many ways, but because of my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ I keep pressing on, feasting upon the words of God and continue in faith and prayer. In General Conference an important lesson was shared by Michelle D. Craig that we must see ourselves as God sees us. That really stood out to me because sometimes I feel like I'm not who God wants me to be. This week I learn so many insights from the videos and readings, however, I will share from the lessons that resonate me from the Hero's Journey and perseverance by James E. Faust. Lessons learn't from the Hero's Journey We should b...

  Article of faith 1:13 said, "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul . We believe all things, hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." Sheri L. Dew suggest seven things that will help us become men and women of integrity that resonates me. Decide today, once and for all, that you will be worthy of trust Decide today, once and for all, that you will be worthy of trust Make covenants and keep them .   Stand up for what you believe Expect your integrity to be challenged Don’t give up Covenant–or perhaps I should say, renew your covenant–with our Father and His Son to do what you came here to do My individual learning from this course is that I must stand up for what I believe in and be true to myself and others no matter...

Week 13 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

    This week I want to reflect on Thomas S. Monson talk, "An Attitude of Gratitude" Accentuate the positive  Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mr. in between President Monson counsels us that, o n the Sabbath day our thoughts should turn to our Savior Jesus Christ who atoned for our sins, who showed us the way to live and how to pray, and who demonstrated by His own actions the blessings of service. Born in a stable, cradled in a manger, this Son of God, even Jesus Christ the Lord, yet beckons to each of us to follow Him. Ten lepers were healed by Christ, the expressed gratitude by one merited the Master’s blessing, the ingratitude is shown by the nine, makes Him disappointed. Like the leprosy of yesteryear are the plagues of today, they linger; they debilitate; they destroy.  Their pervasiveness knows no boundaries, we know them as selfishness, greed, indulgence, cruelty, and crime. Surfeited with their poison, we tend to criti...
