WO 07 Final Reflection

 

This semester has been full of knowledge on the true meaning of entrepreneurship. Before taking this class my understanding of entrepreneurship was something like money hungry people who value success in life only about accumulating wealth. Thankfully my knowledge has deepened, as I now understand entrepreneurship is more then pridefully building an empire.

If I were to give one final lecture about entrepreneurship it is to approach it as a way to be beneficial to all humankind. Finding a niche that provides people an avenue to have a better life is a great thing that we can all experience if we put our mind to it. There's nothing wrong with money in inherently in itself, as long as you use that money for good and not for evil. For instance, when you have one you are required to give a liberally. As disciples of Christ, we have agreed to take the name of Christ upon us and part of that is providing for the sick needy and inflicted. People who live in poverty have less opportunity to help others then ones who are financially responsible. Commit now to move a life of service.

As a last bit of advice to help someone wanting to begin their entrepreneur journey: please do not worry about finances in the beginning as an obstacle. Through faith and hard work the financial avenues will open for you to be a successful entrepreneur. You have the power to create something big. One word of caution about starting your entrepreneur journey. Be humble be faithful and Heavenly Father will direct you. You can make change happen in the world around you if you are willing to change yourself.

In closing remember good things come to those who wait. Persistence is the single most important factor with being successful. Most historical leaders are known for this quality. President Uchtdorf once said “Patience is actively working toward worthwhile goals and not getting discouraged when results don’t appear instantly or without effort.” I use this quote as my motto as I work to become an entrepreneur.
