The Value of Leadership
Leader- A person who takes other to higher ground

Leaders cause things to happen and motivate others!

Good to Great

1. Good is the enemy to great
2. Get the right people on the bus
3. Possess these 3 characteristics
    -Great Product
    -Believe you're the best
    -Passion for your product

"We were not sent to this earth to be a mediocre player"

Hiring Ethical People
*Create small teams
*What is moral? It's generally being nice. Caring about each other
*Create an atmosphere where people want to stay
The goal of business is to weld customers to you. The best way to do this is to treat them the way you want to be treated.

Trust
1. Trust others and they will trust you
2. Be a baker-trustworthy people are bakers
3. Default to yes-when you meet people think, "How can I help this person?"

Leadership and Capability
Ask a question and hear the answer
Customer satisfaction will judge the success of a business.
Celebrate new ideas
Try new things
Keep learning every day!

The people who keep learning are vibrant!

This week has been interesting. It was nice to take a look at the "harder part of the business". What do we do when things are not going as planned? How do we keep pressing forward when it seems the odds are against us? How do we fix the problem? I really enjoyed the videos and readings for the week. I love that as a student at BYU Idaho there is so much of the gospel integrated into the courses.  President Monson's talk was very insightful. He gives direction, council, and hope. I will refer to this talk often in the future. Looking Back and Moving Forward https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2008/04/looking-back-and-moving-forward?lang=eng I also enjoyed Elder Holland's talk. It was a bit long but had some good stuff. I learned to never give up! Never! Even when it seems things are never going to work out. This is a great piece of advice for anyone in the business world. There will be hard days. ALWAYS! But that is never a reason to jump ship. However Long a...

10/14/17 Week 5

This week was a great week of looking into myself and analyzing what I'd like to see in my own business. I learned several great tools to use in my current business and for any future business opportunities. Key points from "A Hero's Journey"  When I am older I will most likely ask myself: 1. Have I contributed something meaningful? 2. Who did I love and who loved me? 3. Am I a good person? These are three excellent life questions and they can also apply to a business owner. Upon retiring I want to be able to answer these questions with confidence and be happy about the answers. "Never give up on your search for your calling" Something interesting to try-Ask 5 people I know what I do better than anyone else in the world. I've learned that the secret is to do something that brings me JOY! I good way to measure this is to think of the last time I lost track of time doing something because it was so enjoyable. *I need to remember that A call...

10/28/17 Week 7

This week I finished the book Mastery. It's an excellent resource for learning about mastering our thoughts and actions. It helps in all aspects of life, not only business. Mastery, George Leonard "The human individual is equipped to learn and go on learning prodigiously from birth to death, and this is precisely what sets him or her apart from all other known forms of life." "the mastery of skills that are not genetically programmed is the most characteristically human of all activities." "How to begin the journey? You need only to take the first step. When? There's always now." I also enjoyed reviewing the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Here's the link for future reference. https://content.byui.edu/file/3dda7de4-cd79-4390-9bcf-3cb660c48dd1/1/The%207%20Habits%20of%20Highly%20Effective%20People.pdf The talk by President Hinckley impressed me so much I shared it with a friend. I want to save it for future reference. *It is impor...
