Last Lecture
How time flies. I can't believe that we have come to the end of a semester and that we are finishing up this course. I don't feel that I have had a course before that has caused some much thought and prompted me to ponder in such a way as this class has. It has been great for me to be able to listen, read and learn about other entrepreneurs and the "why" factor that leads them to accomplish what they have. There has been many different thoughts and ideas that have been running through my mind throughout the semester. That being said, there are a couple of different aspect of the class that I felt most impactful. I wish to relay those in such a way that it highlights the feelings that I have had.
The first book that we read, I learned the importance of teamwork that we need to cultivate within ourselves. Whether that be without a spouse or with the Lord, it is the same. When we look to solve issues on our own or strive to think that we know best, we set ourselves up for failure on a large scale. On the other hand, having the ability to be able to collaborate with our spouses and with the Lord, opens the door to success that may not ever be opened without such discussions. I found that this sets a foundation for success through the ups and downs that will inevitably occur throughout the entrepreneurial process.
Fear and doubt are natural to the process, but should not be so strong to inhibit us to move forward. The assignment which we completed the what-if scenarios taught me that no matter how difficult things may be or how I fearfully look at those difficulties, in the end, all will be ok. Having an eternal or even a view of the future can replace the fear and doubts that we may have as we sit here today.
Lastly, doing things for the right reason. It was interesting to me how different lessons pointed to this concept. The right reason has to be determined by each one of us. That determination will direct and guide us in the decision that we make. I enjoyed where we were taught that we should seek after and endeavor that benefit's the world. When that is our priority, the success, including financial, will be a by-product of such an endeavor.
