 My last lecture

This semester has been a great opportunity to expand my business knowledge through this class, there are a lot of key points that are fundamentals to understand the entrepreneur meaning, because this course helped me to recognize what is the definition of entrepreneurship.

Therefore, I will like to start sharing this tip. The first thing that we have to do, is to begin to walk the business mastery path investing in ourselves, especially in acquiring largest knowledge, when we invest time and money in our formation we will have results in a world that actually is very competent, so the formation of every individual is key.

Another way to begin the big road of business is to determinate what branch of business are you going to follow, because BA has a lot of emphasis so we will need to decide in which one we will feel comfortable, for example I like BA with an emphasis in entrepreneurship.

I believe that the best word to define the beginning of entrepreneurship is to be a Hero because entrepreneurship is a journey full of danger, trials, stumbling blocks, devastating defeat, emotional, psychological, and physical scarring, and death. We are all travelers on this treacherous journey, each striving to find happiness and success.

For that reason we as heroes must have some sense of who we are and what we might become. We won’t know who we are until we takes our first step on this journey. This may be considered the first great dilemma of life. How can the hero begin the journey without knowing exactly which way to go? Many will get stuck on this first stumbling block. If so, their progress towards a successful journey comes to a halt.

The hero takes action; perhaps he embodies the quote by Zig Zigglar:

“Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther” (some sources credit the quote to J.P. Morgan). In the journey of life, the first step forward is often more important than the direction of the first step.

Remember our world desperately needs heroic people—people who shape events, who act rather than watch, who are creative and brave. Such people are needed in every field, in every realm of life—not only law enforcement and disaster response but also science, education, business and finance, health care, the arts, journalism, agriculture, and—not least—in the home.

For that reason let´s be a hero in the business field!

The process of Learning

Through the road of learning we can find different obstacles that shape our filter to see the reality where we live, this is what happen to me.
This course helped me to recognize the meaning of entrepreneurship, a hero way.
Therefore I will like to summarize what I have learned in this course.
What is a entrepreneurship, I will define an entrepreneur as a person who believe in his/her dreams, and work for that the entire life, a person who knows his calling in the world and its prepare to do everything to accomplish it,that is why I am an entrepreneur.
Inside the universe of business as entrepreneurs we need to walk step by step to have a successful career, where our dreams  will be part vital of the life of others.

So in my own words Entrepreneurship is:

1) Power
2) Believe
3) Preparation
4) Character
5) Failure
6) Challenges
7) Love
8) Two families
9) Perseverance
10) A resource to help our fellows

I know that my dreams will come true is I work hard and patience, there are going to be times of difficulty but the good things will come. The most important thing about my own entrepreneur journey is the importance of learning, a process that never ends, even with experience, years of formation, etc;the learning is a lineal process, that will be learning day by day.

What is Business for?

• Based on what you read in the first two pages (pages 3 and 4), why are virtue and integrity so vital to an economy?

Business is a game of powers, where the appearance gives us the opportunity to convince the environment that is around us. In the actual capitalism system there is hangover reality that the rich always want to expand the gap between the elite and the society. Therefore, we can see the virtue and integrity as key characteristics in the business world but for the business these terms has many definitions, we can say that is an attitude that create  a balance in the business actions but instead, the elite uses this power to change the rules of the game anytime that they want.

So, I believe that there are people in the elite that work to share the richness of the world with everyone but also I know that there are a lot that just show their skill to hide the truth. Therefore, the advice is to always be virtuous, conscious that the power will always try to reject the pure love of the savior that we can share with our fellows.

Integrity for me means to work with the town to conquer the capitalism system. 

• According to Charles Handy, what is the “real justification” for the existence of businesses?

The creation of business had in the beginning a different view, the people began to create their companies for the passion that they had for something specific also for the benefit of work, the opportunity to aid more people to get a job, etc.

But in this actual time, the companies just think in numbers – money, they don´t share a same vision with their employers , the just want people that act like machines, the importance is to obtain money not to think about the rest of the people, so the filter changed, I believe that although our first goal is to be financial successful we should always remember that one of the biggest callings that we have is to share our richness with our fellows, that´s how we can understand the model of heavens.

• What are two solutions proposed by Handy that you agree with? Why?

I think that the possible solutions can be a part of the changing but is not going to change the entire filter of capitalism, the real problem is that society taught us to obtain a goal and to don´t help others that are pursuing the same goal, it´s like a fight for the death we want the power and we don’t want to share with anyone, so I just imagine one possible solution.

I believe that the key solution is the principle of believing in God, but to understand that everything that we are reaching is by his hand not for us, comprehending that He guide our path, when we know this we also understand that “our richness” are there to share with others, to create a better world, where the balance can be in the rich and poor.

So we must eradicate the pride that we have, to believe that the company exists because our intelligence or our power, the reality is that God gave us these corporations to help others, to create a kingdom of equality. 

Money . . .

Money,

What comes to our mind when we talk about money?

Well, we can say that the actual system we´re we live is management by the power of money, but what is money for? And how we can use it?

I had these type of questions long time ago, and we can find different types of answer, we can talk about money as a state of slavery or as resource, etc.

But the real point here is what type of filter are we going to use to define this word?

Well, I will share with you my personal feelings about money. 

The money was created with a specific purpose to help us obtain whatever we want to, we must be worry to understand how we can use the money to achieve our temporal goals, and then we can do everything we want to.

We need to see money as resource to accomplish our dreams in this world, because if we prepare ourselves we can learn how to use and also how to help others when we will have the opportunity to do it. Furthermore, it´s important to see money as a way to work, because if we see it as something that we can´t obtain it´s going to affect the way we live because we are putting limitations to the resource that can give us opportunities to grow. 

I believe that the real meaning of richness is not to just to have everything instead share more with our fellow who needed, that´s how we can help others through the richness. We should be generous with our fellows. 

Therefore let´s change or attitude and let´s use the resource of money to create and help others.

Here the key rules:

1. Seek the Lord and have hope in him Rule 

2. Keep the commandments, that includes the temporal ones, tithing and fast offerings.

3.Think about money and plan how you can become self-reliant. 

4. Take advantage of chances for learning so you will not be ignorant of these matters. Education, as       President Hinckley has taught us, is the Key to Opportunity. 

5. Learn the laws upon which the blessings of wealth are predicated.

6. Do not send away the naked, the hungry, the thirsty or the sick or those who are held captive.
