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 I’m ready to grow. I’m hoping this class will help me build some real skills and give me a better understanding of what it actually means to be an entrepreneur. This is just the beginning, but I’m looking forward to seeing where it takes me.

W06 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

  W06 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal This week really helped me understand what it means to be an entrepreneur not just in theory, but in real life. One of the biggest takeaways for me was that entrepreneurship isn’t all about money or success. It’s about solving real problems, staying true to your values, and being willing to grow and change. That idea stuck with me because sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the dream of success without thinking about the work it takes to get there. The part about self-mastery really made me think. If I can’t manage my time, control my emotions, or stay focused, how can I expect to run a business or lead others? I’ve definitely struggled with procrastination and distractions, so this was a good reminder that becoming an entrepreneur means working on myself first. I also liked the video about The Entrepreneur and the Family. It reminded me that success doesn’t mean much if it comes at the expense of your family or faith. That really hit h...

W10 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

  W10 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal One key lesson I learned is the importance of writing down goals. When I put my goals on paper, they become real and help me stay focused.

This week helped me see that with hard work, faith, and a clear purpose, I can achieve more than I thought possible.

  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...
