My Business Journal

I have been learning so much in this course. I really enjoy the videos. They are not too long but very informative. I need to always remember that the gospel can be interweaved into every part of my life, especially my career. *Keep a copy of "The Ministry of Business" on the shelf at all times and always refer to the things I've highlighted. Great read and excellent reference. I learned a lot from this video: "The Formula and Happiness" https://vimeo.com/63363173 (access code is (ll) two lowercase l's Here are some key points: Jay Paul Geddy 1.

This week was very insightful. I enjoyed making a bucket list. It really got me thinking about my life so far and the life I have left to live. Some of my top bucket list items: bake a delicious cheesecake, serve a mission, and go skydiving. I also want to finish at BYUI with a bachelor's degree. I also learned a lot from the readings and videos. The biggest take away for me is that I need to dream big and then work toward living that dream! It's ok to fail as long as I can get back up and keep trying. The following are some quotes from I reading I particularly enjoyed and found helpful.                                               What is your calling in life. Jeffrey A. Thompson "As an example, let me share with you the story of some people I have recently studied: zookeepers. I chose to study zookeepers because they are passionate about the work they do, even though...

I'm excited to start on my official path to earning a business degree! This week has been very insightful. The biggest take away from the lesson was something I already knew but was reminded of as I studied the material this week. In a business world, those who succeed the most, are those that are doing something they are passionate about. This success isn't always monetary. It comes in the quality of life they are living. There are very rich people who are not passionate about what they do. Are they financially successful? Yes! Are they achieving a rich quality of life? You be the judge. I was also reminded about reputation. It's very important to have a good reputation when dealing with others, especially in the business world. Building quality relationships will come back to help so much. I need to remember to always be the best me I can when dealing with others. A small gift of gratitude or service now may come back one hundred fold in the future! I really liked this...
