12/02/17 Week 12
This week it was fun to hear about Sarah Endline who has a candy company. She truly took something she loved and turned it into a business. I have done that to some extent with my preschool. I enjoy teaching and I'm able to do it out of my own home while I raise my kids. The only thing that made my eyebrows raise is that she said she needed to do it 24/7. That's intense!! Here's the video for future reference.

I also enjoyed Elder Holland's talk. I love how the gospel is interwoven into all of my studies. That is the greatest part of attending a "church" school. It is so true that we must always give back. No matter what our circumstances we can always give. If not our money, then our time.
I love this quote about President Monson. It's so true! I think he will always be known for his service to the widows. "More than any man I know, President Monson has “done all he could” for the widow and the fatherless, the poor and the oppressed."
I also enjoyed the video on effective leadership. It is so true that when we know how to lead correctly we will see success. I'm glad that there are so many teaching opportunities at BYU Idaho and that I have a lot of training in my callings as well.
Questions:
Virtue and integrity are vital to an economy because there is a lot of trust involved. When people are dishonest they cannot be trusted. If there is no trust an economy will crumble. When there have been problems with the leadership in the economy a lot have stemmed back to dishonesty issues.
This is the "real justification" for business according to Handy, " The purpose of a business, in other words, is not to make a profit, full stop. It is to make a profit so that the business can do something more or better. That “something” becomes the real justification for the business. Owners know this. Investors needn’t care."
One solution I agree with is to use the old model and flix it's flaws. I think often times we get too caught up in trying to come up with a whole new system when in reality we can get by with just fixing minor flaws in the old system. I feel too that we need more democracy. More say of the people. This will make the people feel like they are more a part of things. Many people think business owners only want to make money. This is not true. Most set out to see something great happen. This is done when all parts contribute.
