In a talk by President
Thomas S. Monson, he said “Throughout the journey
along the pathway of life, there are casualties. Some depart from the road
markers which point toward life eternal, only to discover the detour chosen
ultimately leads to a dead end. Indifference, carelessness, selfishness, and
sin all take their costly toll in human lives”.
I loved
this entire passage. His words are a great reminder of the need to make wise
choices and have a plan in our lives. In addition to that plan we must have the
determination and discipline to stay constant in our journey and avoid detours.
Heath Bradley – Acton’s
Hero’s Journey
Nobody wants to buy a
service, but they want to help you accomplish a cause or meet a goal. When your
business has a goal that people can support, they are more willing to support a
goal or dream instead of feeling pressure to buy something.
Don’t be afraid to get off
the roof (take chances). Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Be real.
In our reading it came up
that some people don’t want to acknowledge their inadequacies, but those that
do will be massively increasing the chances of success. If the potential
entrepreneur prefers not to face his human limitations, they might be better
off staying in a traditional job. I liked this because it put the information
out there and gave the reader a chance to realize the entrepreneur route is not
a bad one, it just clearly has some tough challenges you’ll have to go through.
It was a nice dose of reality.
It was also a great piece
of advice in our reading that one of the greatest strengths of successful
people is the ability to get things done because this means understanding what
you are good at and then delegating the rest. Make sure you are clear on how
you can add maximum value and then find others to help with everything else.
