W01 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal Blog

W04 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal This week’s readings and videos really hit me more deeply than I expected. How Will You Measure Your Life? wasn't just about business or career it was about what kind of life I actually want to build. I’ve heard people say that success isn’t just about money or titles, but this week gave that idea more structure and made me think about what I truly value. One of the biggest takeaways for me was the importance of intentionally deciding how I want to measure my life not just drifting or doing what everyone else is doing. The idea that our careers and relationships often evolve based on small, seemingly harmless decisions over time made me pause. I realized that it’s easy to focus all my energy on being “productive” while unintentionally neglecting relationships or personal growth. Looking forward, I’m really excited to keep learning how to make choices that reflect what matters most to me not just what seems urgent or expected. I want to build ...

  W03 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal This week I started by taking a quiz about the material that I've been learning about for the past couple of weeks. They included a couple of lectures on how to start your own business and how to be a successful entrepreneur. This might sound funny to say but I realized that staying honest in the business world is harder than it sounds and way more important than I thought. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was how doing the right thing can sometimes cost you something in the short term, but in the long run, it builds real trust. That’s what really stuck with me from the Magdalena Yesil case. She didn’t just talk about ethics she actually lived it out in tough situations. I admire how she made decisions based on her values, not just what would make her the most money the fastest. Another part of this week that I found meaningful was writing the “I will never” and “I will always” statements. It was more challengin...

Meaning of life W02 Reflection: Achieving Dreams and Creating a Life of Meaning This week while studying Randy Pausch’s “Last Lecture” I couldn't help but think about my own life. Watching and reading about a man who knew his time was limited but still chose to focus on joy, purpose, and childhood dreams made me reflect deeply on my own goals and direction in life. I think Randy was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams because he never stopped believing they were possible. He worked hard, stayed positive, and didn’t let setbacks stop him.  I feel that for me personally dreaming is important. Dreams give us something to work toward and help us see beyond the everyday stuff. Without dreams, life can feel like we’re just going through the motions. Even if we don’t achieve all of them exactly how we imagine, they still push us to grow and keep going. One of my childhood dreams was to make movies. I used to imagine creating stories that people would watch and f...

W01 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal Blog This week was the start of my entrepreneurship course, and I’ve already been hit with a sense of responsibility. I thought I had a basic idea of what entrepreneurship involved, but now I’m realizing there’s a lot more to it than I expected. It’s not just about starting a business or making money it’s also about mindset, habits, and personal growth. I didn’t fully realize that those things would be such a big part of this course. One of the things that really got me thinking was the idea of figuring out why I want to be an entrepreneur. At first, I thought it was just about having more freedom or being my own boss. But after going through the materials this week, I’ve started to realize it’s also about doing something meaningful and finding purpose in the work. I want to create something that matters not just to me, but to other people too. I know there’s a lot to learn, and I’ll probably be pushed out of my comfort zone more than once. But...
