W07 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

 W07 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

This week’s lesson on the “7 Habits” really got me thinking more seriously about how I live my life and pursue my goals. Out of all the habits, the one that had the most meaning for me was “Begin with the End in Mind.” This habit reminded me that without a clear purpose or destination, it’s easy to waste time on things that don’t matter in the long run. As someone who is trying to juggle school, work, and long-term dreams, this really hit home. I realized I need to constantly step back and ask myself why I’m doing what I’m doing and if it’s truly leading me where I want to go.

The 7 habits as a whole seem like a blueprint not just for success, but for a meaningful life. They emphasize both private victories and public victories. When we start by mastering ourselves, we’re better prepared to serve, lead, and inspire others. That’s something I want for myself not just to succeed professionally, but to be the kind of person who uplifts others along the way.

One of the other lessons that stood out to me this week was from a video that talked about aligning our work with our “driving passion.” That phrase stuck with me. It’s not just about working hard it’s about working hard for something you believe in. That really challenged me to start thinking more clearly about what I love and how I can turn that into a meaningful path forward. I’m excited to keep exploring that.

Overall, this week made me reflect more deeply on where I’m headed, how I’m getting there, and whether the path I’m on is aligned with who I want to become. It gave me both inspiration and tools to keep moving forward with more purpose.

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...

  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...
