What I learned this week
I think that what I really enjoyed doing this week was the mentor session. I have been saying that quite often. It is actually pretty funny because a lot of times I procrastinate getting it done, because of various reasons, but every week after I get it done I realize that I really enjoyed doing it. I love to be able to get a deeper look into myself and why I want to do things. I always knew that I wanted to help my community and my family with a business but I didn't really think about why. I also really loved seeing that I could have some kind of plan in mind to be able to move forward in opening my business and becoming a better person.
What I am looking forward to learning
I am looking forward to finishing the mentor sessions and exploring more things that I want and things that maybe I didn't know that I wanted. I want to be able to see progress in myself and moving forward toward the goal of being able to open my business. I am excited to be able to take what I have learned and what I will learn and using it to better myself, my family and my community.

Week 7
What I Learned
This week I have learned more about myself. I realize that a business is a lot of work and will take time and talent. I also realized that I don't have everything on my own that it takes to own and operate a business. I know that I do have skills that I probably don't think about and that I also can learn more skills, but it will be important to be able to find and work with other people who have skills that you will need to make your business successful.
I really enjoyed reading the LDS perspective articles. They always help lift me up and think that I can truly do anything that the Lord wants me to do. I know that it is important to learn from mistakes you have made and then continue forward with the future.
What I Want to Learn
I am looking forward to learning more about myself and also figuring out the skills that I will need to have and develop so that I can get my business started. I also want to learn how to use the connections that I have in order to help me to learn the skills that I need in order to grow and develop my business successfully.

Week 6
What I learned this week
This week I learned about the importance of integrity, honesty and virtue in the work place. Through the readings, I realized that I do have integrity, honesty and virtue in my everyday life, but when it comes to running a business will it be that simple. Will there be more chances to maybe bend the rules and do something that you wouldn't normally do? It made me think back to when I was a youth and the lessons in Young Women's about choosing now to do certain things or to say no to other things that way when faced with the choice it will not be a hard decision. I think that the same principle applies to business. Choose now not to bend the rules to make a little more profit. Choose now that when confronted with the choice to do something unethical that you will say no. That way it won't be a hard choice in the future.
What I am looking forward to learning
I am looking forward to doing the next mentor sessions from the book. I have been learning a lot from that book about myself and what I really want from my future business. It makes me excited to learn more and look deeper into myself so that I can get started with this business.

Week 5
What I learned this week
This week I learned that we have to be good stewards over everything we have been given. We have been given things like children, a good place to live, clothes, money to live on, food, talents, etc. I hadn't really ever thought about the fact that we will be held accountable for the use of my finances and how well I handle them. I know they have very temporal consequences. For instance, if you spend more than you make you go into debt and have to pay interest. If you spend all that you make, you won't have any money to retire on. If you spend less than you make, you can save up to buy the things that you need without having to go into debt as well as having a good retirement for when you are older. I understand these consequences very well and always have. I just never thought of it as having spiritual consequences as well.
What I am looking forward to learning
I am really excited about exploring the spiritual consequences of our finances. Finance is always something that has really intrigued me and so I am really looking forward to studying this new aspect that I have found. I am also looking forward to finishing all of the mentor sessions and seeing if I really feel like I want to be an entrepreneur.

Week 4
What I learned
I think what I enjoyed learning the most this week was the Mentor session in the book. So far in this class I feel like I have learned a lot but haven't really been able to apply it to actually starting a business. I think that it has helped me to think about what to do with a business but not really what type of things I need to be thinking about before I start it. This mentor session I think helped because of the specific questions that it asked as well as asking which traits you think you have and which ones you can improve on. I really liked being able to really think about myself and analyze things that can be beneficial to my future business.
What I want to learn
I am really looking forward to the coming mentor sessions and being able to take a deeper look into myself and discovering what I can do and what I need to improve upon. I also really enjoy the LDS perspective assignments because they help me to think about how these principles can be applied into my life right now as well as later on and in a business that I want to start. I look forward every week to those assignments and what they teach me.

Week 3
What I learned
I really enjoyed the video call Do What you Love. I think that it is a hard thing to find something that you love that somebody would pay you money for. I really enjoyed the three circles and how he focused on the what you were born to do circle. I think that the other two circles are easier to find something so focusing on that one is essential.
I also really like the video about making wiser choices not longer hours. I really like that idea. It seems like people work so hard and so long and don't get as much out of it as they may have thought they would. I want to be able to spend more time with my husband rather than having him work all of the time.
The Start up of You book was very enlightening as well. I think that I need to come up with different ways to incorporate what I learned from it into my life so that I can use it to improve my life.
What I want to Learn
One thing I wish I would have liked to have learned from the Do What you Love video was what steps you can take and how you can find what you are born to do. It is easy to say "focus on that circle" but how do you find what you were born to do?

Week 2
What I learned this week
This week I really enjoyed the talks by Sheri Dew and Lynn Robbins. I think too often I get caught up in the technical side of things and don't really think about how the gospel ties into them, because I ties into everything that we do. I sometimes just want to know how to do it and be done with it, so the LDS perspective is what I learn the most from that benefits me in my life. I really loved Elder Robbins grading system and it made me think about my life and even though I am a stay at home mom what I can do to improve my ethical behavior at home and be able to receive that A grade.
I also enjoyed the videos especially the one with the top ten things to do when starting a business. It was very insightful and I enjoyed thinking about what we would do if my husband and I do decide to open one. I really didn't like the Rich Grad video. I don't really think that the most important things in life require money. Most everything does and there are very important things on that list, but when I think about what is most important to me in life, I don't need money for those things. Especially prayer. It doesn't matter how rich or poor I am, Heavenly Father will always listen and answer my sincere, heartfelt prayers.
What I look forward to learning
I do look forward to learning and applying LDS principles into the idea of entrepreneurship. Even in my little direct sales job with Heritage Makers, I feel like if I were to incorporate more of the principles that I hold so dear that I will be able to excel at that as well as other things.
