The Beginning: Week 1, BUS 110: Introduction to Entrepreneurship. 

For this first week, I read some very interesting notes full of insights about me and my divinity. Well, not just my divinity only but also, everyone's divinity! 

We can do hard things, I can do hard things! was pretty much the topic of the lesson this week. 

I have always known that I love learning, by seeing others and personal experiences and by also reading other people's experiences. I know many things, I just need to find a way to communicate that with my own self and be more aware of things I know and what things I can keep learning over and over again.
Elder Bednar said, "A disciplined and educated mind is a tool for reasoning and inquiring and evaluating and discerning.  These abilities are not merely the requirements described in a course syllabus; rather, they are essential skills for a spiritual, happy, and productive life. " 

I have run many races and I have learned that you have to be disciplined and know how to run but mostly how to breathe while running. That little part in my life called, "training for a 5K or training for a Half Marathon" had taught me that life is like running a race. 

Elder Bednar also said, "You have a responsibility to your family to become a diligent student as an expression of your appreciation for and gratitude to them." My kids are little and I know very well that I'm sacrificing time with them and they are sacrificing time with me so I can learn and grow. Is it worth it? Of course, it's worth it.

I'm always wondering, what should I know or what should I study so that my skills and talents would be greater use in God's church but also in God's kingdom in the life to come.

While reading the lesson this week, I wrote down some of the keywords I feel they go well with my life and who I am and who I can become as an entrepreneur.

These are the words I wrote:
Garden

Money- $0 Debt

Cooking

Independent woman

Willing to learn

Renovation

Teach 

Life Skills

Always on time, "Better never late"
Goals, goals, goals
Sustainable living

And, to finish this entry I would like to share the following quote by elder Bednar, "We must consecrate unto the Lord both a faithful heart and a strong mind and only our best is good enough for the Lord."
