This weeks reading made me think about the men and women the Lord wants us to be. He has set standards and guidelines to help us be loyal, trustworthy, faithful and dedicated. These attributes not only help us on a personal level, but in our professional lives as well. When we are true to who we are at home and at work we become the individual others will want to be around and do business with.
"A Letter to Garcia" posed some good questions for self reflection. I try to be the person that is reliable and efficient. Reading the questions thought I did realize that sometimes I try and go the quick way and ask for answers rather then find out for myself. (like needing help on the computer, I often default to my husband instead of attempt to fix it myself) I think there needs to be a balance in this area. We need to be willing and able to ask. Sometimes things will get done better if we learn the right way from an expert rather then trial and error and "Jerry rigging" it. However, we also need to be accountable and willing to learn and improve for ourselves.
I enjoy the mentor sessions each week. I know that some feel that it is a lot of necessary work. However, I find a lot of value in taking the time to evaluate, contemplate, stratigize, set goals and make plans. I have spent a lot of years dreaming of what entrepreneurship can be like. Unless and buckle down and figure it out and actually do something, my dream will never become a reality. I believe this is a small investment of time that will help pay off for future success.
