Week 5 post

This week in class we were asked to choose 7 people as our personal board of advisers. We could choose anyone living or dead. After a lot of thought, I chose the following people:


My husband Derek would be my chairman. He knows me better than anyone. He knows when I am taking on too much or when something is bothering me. He is my cheer leader He does everything he can to make me happy. He is extremely intelligent and doesn’t make decisions without thoroughly thinking them through. I love and respect him completely.

Jesus is obvious. He is our Savior. He is perfect and knows exactly what I need. He can see the whole picture and can guide me through life in a way that will get me to the Celestial Kingdom. He loves everyone and can give me the support I need.
George Washington was amazing. The founder of our country. He led us to victory in the Revolutionary War. His strength, determination and incredible faith gave him the ability to lead thousands. All who were led by him respected and admired him. He was tactical, knowledgeable and fearless. He is the perfect addition to my personal board of advisers.

Rachel Hollis is the newest sensation in self-help. She wants to change the world, one person at a time. She is full of positivity and energy. She wants every woman to fight for and attain their dream. She knows how to set goals that will result in dreams being achieved. She is inspiring.

Dave Ramsey would be on my board to help me with all my financial decisions. He is extremely smart with money and investing. He teaches people how to avoid debt and save for retirement. His financial advice would help me become debt free.

Harriet Tubman cared more about human rights than anything else in her life. She wanted all people to be free and lead numerous people to freedom. Risking her own life to get them there. She also proved how strong and capable women are. Her strength and determination would be a great addition to my personal board of advisers.

Oprah Winfrey is just amazing. She is a black woman that against all odds became the wealthiest woman in the world. (I think). She is self-made and learned how to overcome adversity and become stronger each time. She is constantly searching for peace and love and equality. Her accomplishments is furthering women’s rights are numerous.


I also came up with an idea for my book this week. I plan to write a book of short stories. My family and I have had a lot of strange and hilarious things happen to us. I want to get it all written down and publish it. My best friend is the funniest person I have ever met and she will help with the book.

Week 6 Journal

"Plato said: “The first and best victory is to conquer self; to be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile.” And da Vinci once said: “You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself.” Then he goes on to say that “the height of a man’s success is gauged by his self-mastery; the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment. … And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.” In other words, he cannot be a worthy father or leader. Solomon in all his wisdom made this meaningful statement: “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” ( Prov. 16:32 .) " N. Eldon Tanner "Success Is Gauged by Self-Mastery “We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things,...

Week 1 Journal

September 21, 2019 First Journal Post for Entrepreneur Class. It feels a little strange to create a journal that will be read by more than just myself. I am taking this class because I am curious about what it takes to start a business. I plan to get a master's degree in school counseling but I would like to create workshops for teens. I want to create a place where they would feel safe to open up to each other and teach each other.  Lessons I learned What I learned this week. It is important to find what I am good at doing. I need to learn what my gifts are and focus on those when creating a business. In "Living Life as an Entrepreneur Hero" Jeff Sanderfer says if you don't know your gift, ask a friend. It is often something you are so good at you don't even realize you are doing it. He also says being an entrepreneur is like living life like an adventure. Guy Kawasaki says that your last focus should be money. You can be poor and miserable and you ...

Week 2 Journal

"Within this interplay between your vision of the world, your place in it, and your personal goals, are the age-old questions of philosophy: What is the relationship between the part (the individual) and the whole (the community)? What is “real” and what is not? What is permanent in this world and what is subject to change? These are all questions that must be asked on a successful journey." "Stars and Stepping Stones" by Jeff Sandefer The Acton School of Business  Plan your life goal. Start at the end (about age 80) what do you want to be know most for? We are really only capable of doing 2 to 3 things well according to Sandefer. What are we willing to sacrifice to do the other things well. Now work backward decade by decade with that end goal in mind. What needs to have happened at each milestone? "Your steppingstones are not a rigid plan. Instead, they are a way of dealing with reality. Even with all the careful preparations and millions of calculations ...
