Intro to Entrepreneurship last post

Thinking back at this semester, I have learned some things about failure. That sometimes you have to give up on stressful things and enjoy the better things of life. This has been one of the tougher semesters that I have had since coming back to school. Everything has been going at a rapid pace. Even though it's been fast, I would have to say I still appreciate the things that I have learned. There is not enough time to make up the work that I have missed. So I have to suffer the consequence of having poor grades. Because the assignment was to post about what I have learned and to give some advice that would be helpful to others, this is it! Just enjoy the time you have. I am a mother of two great teens, I am worker bee that has three jobs because I like to shop way to much. I am a wife that feels like a failure and doesn't know how I got so lucky with an understanding husband? I use to compare myself when I was down to others good times. I use to think that my life wasn'...

Work life balance

We are just trying to find the place with the craziness of life. However, I have been using the ideas and principles to my current job and how I can...

Change Maker-Week 12

I love reading anything from Elder Holland. He has such a way with words that it makes me want to be better. With his talk that was "Are We Not All Beggars?" I know that I'm a person that needs different things than others. I try to give my things away to others when I no longer need them. People ask do you want me to pay you? My answer is always no. I have been blessed to have a steady job and to be able to buy things. Some of my co-workers don't have those luxuries. Luckily I can help. When I am done with my clothes, since they haven't been used for a that long. I bring in bags full of clothes for them to go through. It makes me feel good that I can impart my substance to others. The questions from this week's Quiz asked, why is virtue and Integrity important in business? My answer is they are important because they help people be accountable for their actions. We see is all the time with businesses that they end up closing up shop because someone in the b...
