This week felt like a very slow week for this class! I really enjoyed the videos, especially the one from President Hinkley. I want to save that talk and share it with my daughter in a couple years when she become a young woman. One quote that stuck out to me in regards to business was:
"Look for the good in those about you, and emphasize that good. Never go around gossiping about your associates or speaking unkind words concerning them. Such words will only backfire to hurt you."
Gossiping is not only hurtful in a social context, it is also unprofessional and hurtful in a business setting as well.
I also enjoyed reading What's a Business For? I agree that it would be nice to take the government out of regulating everything, and we the people do what is right simply because it is right! My husband and I had a good discussion about this over our lunch date. We both also liked the concept of more productivity in 35 hours a week instead of 40!
I've learned each week that instead of becoming more nervous about being an entrepreneur, I am become more excited. I was going to school out of inspiration, not desire. I was terrified of failure in school and with my business. As I learn in all my classes and learn about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship I feel more capable and excited about the possibilities!
