Week 10

President Monson's Formula for Success
Fill your heart with love
Fill your mind with truth
Fill your life with service

Never put yourself in a situation where you can't say no! -Komisar

After reading the Attitude About Money article I really started thinking about how we can still be successful entrepreneurs and we can do well managing our money without becoming obsessed with money. Money should never be our priority. Money cannot buy as happiness. With that being said that doesn't mean that we should pay no attention to money. Everyone needs to pay attention to their finances to make sure that they can provide for and take care of their obligations. We can still focus on family first and let everything else fall into place. It doesn't mean because we focus on family as our first priority that we aren't going to be successful financially.

Another important principle I learned this week is the important of finding balance in your life. There is plenty of time in our lives to get the things done that we need to. We might just have to cut out some of the unnecessary items from our life.

Mentor Session 6
The mentor session 6 activity helped me to think about all the struggles associated with being an entrepreneur and helped me to think about if those things were really worth all the pros. I think that listing pros and cons is really beneficial and can really help you sort out what is important to you.

Week 7

This week I learned a lot about myself and my business goals and skill sets while completing the "Mentor Session." I think it is really important to sit down and evaluate yourself and see what kind of shape you are in to run a business. Not only do you have to be mentally prepared but you need to be physically prepared as well. I think it was also helpful to evaluate what skills I have a strong background in and what I still need to work on. It also helped me to decide when searching for a business partner what particular skill sets I will need to look for in another individual because of what I currently lack in my own skill set.
