week 7

Week 7

This week was not really productive in what I did, I have been struggling with social media and making my time more productive, but for what I did from school and what I read in the book Mastery was amazing. I ask myself if I just plan every single day and have a schedule similar to the one that I have in the mission I could accomplish and learn many things, and that is my new goal for this couple next weeks.

This is not from this week, but from the couple months that I have been back in school (at lees online), I use to hate school, and I have always said that to everyone, but now from what I have been learning is making me change my idea from school and actually changing it from been in a program and trying to get a certificate to do it just for learning, and that has been even more fun, and I have been enjoying it!! Now I do not feel of dropping school anymore, I just have to do whatever my instructors ask me for and turn in every single assignment, and I will be find, I do not have to be the most intelligent guy, I just have to learn, not only to do my homework, but to really learn and apply it to my life.

Something that I learn from this week’s reading from the book Mastery and I have seen in my life, is the why is harder for older people to learn something faster than the younger people, and that is because younger people are willing to learn, in other words, sometimes our pride prevent us from learning, we must put it aside and accept that we are imperfect and we should have the mind of a learner at all times.

Week 6

This week has been a little bit easier because we did not have that much homework. Something that I realize because our less homework is that I also lay back a little bit more and I still left some of it at to the end, which is not right, the good thing of this is that know I really know in what I need to work in order for me to be better at school, have more time for myself, not been stress when the due dates are close and spend my left time better.  I know that if I do not work on this now it will be and it will be a problem in the future, and it has been too. I have to be better at managing my time, and priorities.

            Something really important that I learn this week from the reading “How Entrepreneurs CraftStrategies That Work” is that as an entrepreneurs we should not take or put too much time in investigating a business idea that we are thinking to implement or to work on, which doing it is not bad, but at the same time others could have the same idea and implemented before you, or the need of that idea for your prospect costumers can pass and the necessities of them will change with time. “By the time an opportunity is investigated fully, it may no longer exist”. To investigate is not but, what is bad is taking too much time in doing it.

            In the video ”Loyalty to God and Family” from Jan Newman, he shares and experience that he had in one of his calculous class at BYU, he said that his teacher said something like this “many of you will make a lot of money in your careers, you probably think that is what the Lord wants you to do, because He is putting you in this situation so you can get this education to grow and make so much money to help grow the kingdom, your wrong, you know what the Lord needs from you to do? He needs you to do your home teaching”. This make me thing a lot, because I was really thinking that by making money and building a business I was able to help way more people than just magnifying my calling right now (which I always try to do), but as he said in a 1000 years no one will ask you what company you build. I am actually doing this and trying to do my business to be able to help many, but sometimes I forget that I can still doing it now.

Week 5

This week we read a case study that I really like, because it was a little bit more realistic from others, I said this because this person was not really rich or started with a huge project or investment, she even started with something that a par member family paid for, and she made it grow as she could.

This give me a little bit more confidence in what I am doing and also what decisions she needed to take.

Also from the readings that we have this week I reassure myself with what is truly important in this live, what truly brings you happiness and what is our propose here on earth.

From the book Mastery. I knew that practice makes the master, but I really like the idea of even practicing regularly and hard for no particular goal at all just for its own sake, helps you to master.

I also saw again the importance of doing something that you love and like, and not something just for money or because you have to. If we do something that we really like or love help us to do our best and put our best effort in it, even if we felt we will be able to wake up and try one and other time until we get what we want or at less we learn what we have to. I believe that by trying to do what you love it will be easier to find our true purpose in this live, and it will help us to be not only what we want but what God wants for us to become. We will be happier and our practice and effort in it will be easier.

And last point from this week, I do not need to take everything that this society is asking me for, but what I personally really need!

Best
