Week 10 Dream Big Dreams


The first thing that I learned from this week was the analogy of thinking big. I have seen how this has changed a lot of outcomes in life to be better than what we expected them to be. If we think and dream big, we will be able to accomplish a lot more. This was good for me because I tend to take a more logical approach to things, but I know that if I do truly think big, I will be able to accomplish more. When I was in IBC we were not making more than 400 dollars a day, so we decided to pick one day of the week and have a target of making 1000 dollars in one day. It was a crazy idea that seemed impossible, but we did it and we continued to do it three more times throughout the semester. 

I also learned about our emotional fingerprint. This has to do with what drives and motivates us. Whatever characteristics we feed those are the ones that will become who we are. The more good things we do the better we become and the more bad things we do the worse we become. These characteristics will ultimately form our personalities and our ability to work with others. In the video he talks about the analogy of a wolf. Whatever we feed lives and whatever we do not feed dies. This is why I learned that the things we spend time on now matter and the characteristics we build matter as well. 

The last thing I learned is that it is better to have assets of energy and motivation rather than having money. ultimately, these things will help you to grow and become more successful. In my opinion, our minds are the most important asset that we can have because they will help guide us. Knowledge and the ability to learn new things can be very important to our success.

 Week Two of my Entrepreneurship Journey First things first I have decided to switch to Blogger.com for my blogs. It seems to be a lot more user-friendly.  This week I learned a lot about myself by creating a bucket list of 50 items. I tried to imagine what it would be like if I were to die and what it was that I truly wanted to do in my life before that moment came. I strongly do not like writing in a journal but it was my top item on my bucket list. Not to just write in a journal but to create a journal that I am comfortable showing to my family. A journal that expresses accomplishments I have made and fun family memories. I want to be an influence for good and an example to others. Participating in this activity helped me to think more about the important goals that I have in my life rather than the more temporal goals.   I also learned a lot from a book called Launching Leaders To sum up the things I learned. It is okay to lose your comfort blanket, it is even ne...

 Week Three The Decisions on Magdalena Yesil In this last week, we focused particularly a lot on a decision that Magdalena Yesil had to make between choosing jobs. Without getting too deep into the story I learned that it is important to make decisions based on where you might see yourself in the future. In the story, she has two good job options presented to her and she has to decide between one or the other. I thought that she should turn down the higher-paying job to pursue the things that she already enjoyed doing. I think that this story can be interpreted in multiple different ways. I came to my conclusion because I like to envision myself making a similar decision myself. Something that I want to start considering in my decision-making process is whether will it still make me happy five years from now. With that I also like to think to myself if I were to go back in time is this a decision I wish I would have made five years in the past?. This is something that I would like ...

 Week 4 Launching Leaders I learned from a book called Launching Leaders this week. One thing, in particular, was "the formula." This is a statement found in the book that helps you live a better life. The formula is as follows: Get up early, Work Hard, Get your Education, Find your oil, Mark your mark, and Give Back. I plan on implementing these principles in my personal and professional life.  We also talked about facing our fears. Part of this explained how many successful people often face their fears and fail at them. What makes them successful is the fact that they keep trying. Part of this lesson also talked about how many of us have many fears but the truth is most of what we fear will likely never happen to us. The other thing is that if we do fail we just have to keep going and naturally we can always get back up there is never a lost situation. I believe that if you pursue a calling with diligence and you help others along the way, it would be really hard for your ...
