Final Blog Post

    As I finish this course, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’ve learned and how it has impacted the way I look at entrepreneurship. If I had one last chance to share what I’ve gained with other students, I’d focus on the idea that entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business it’s about discovering who you are, what you’re passionate about, and learning how to overcome challenges along the way.

    One of the biggest lessons I took from this course is the importance of seeing failures and challenges as part of the process. Jeff Sandefer’s advice to treat life as an experiment stuck with me. Before this course, I felt like I needed to have everything figured out, but now I realize it’s okay to make mistakes, learn from them, and keep moving forward. This approach makes entrepreneurship feel less scary and more like an ongoing learning journey.

    If someone were about to start their own entrepreneurial path, my advice would be to make sure whatever you’re doing aligns with your values. One of the main things I learned is that it’s not just about making money it’s about finding purpose. I was inspired by the idea that businesses should aim to serve people and communities, not just chase profits. When your work has meaning beyond the numbers, it makes the hard days easier to handle.

    If I could give one last piece of advice, it would be to always act with integrity. In business, trust is everything. Building relationships with honesty and fairness is what will keep you going in the long run. When things get tough, being someone who sticks to their values will make all the difference.

    In the end, entrepreneurship is about growth, resilience, and making an impact. It’s a challenging road, but it’s worth it if you stay true to yourself.

Week 6

This week’s study has given me a lot to reflect on, especially in terms of business ethics, entrepreneurship, and how I approach money in My life. The readings and videos introduced some important ideas about integrity in business and the need to balance professional success with personal values. In the article "What’s a Business For?" I was reminded of how vital virtue and integrity are to the health of any economy. Without them, trust breaks down, and the economy suffers. Charles Handy’s perspective that businesses should serve society, not just maximize profits, really stuck with me. It challenges the typical profit driven mindset and pushes for a more meaningful approach to business. I believe this is something I should consider, especially in today's world, where consumer trust can be fragile. Handy's point about the "real justification" for the existence of businesses was particularly eye-opening. He argues that the purpose of a business goes beyond ju...

Week 5

This week was pretty solid, filled with interesting concepts that got me thinking about my own growth and future goals. We spent a lot of time studying Disciple Leadership and the idea of dreaming big, and while these aren’t entirely new ideas for me, they did make me reflect on how I can apply them in my life right now. Reading A Field Guide for the Hero’s Journey was a good reminder that any significant path we choose is going to come with its fair share of challenges. The first few chapters talk about the importance of resilience and courage, which I know are essential in both personal and professional life. It made me think about the obstacles I’m facing now and how they’re really just part of the process. Chapter 4 was particularly interesting because it emphasized that as we progress, new challenges and opportunities will keep coming our way. This idea of ongoing growth is something I can relate to, especially as I’m trying to figure out where I want to go in my career. The readi...

Week 4

This week’s study on the 7 Habits really hit home for me, especially Habit 3: Put First Things First. It’s not just some abstract concept; it’s something I’ve been struggling with on a personal level. The idea of focusing on what’s truly important, rather than just reacting to whatever’s screaming for my attention, has already started to change how I approach my day-to-day life. I’ve always found myself getting caught up in the whirlwind of immediate demands school assignments that are due tomorrow, work tasks that pop up out of nowhere, and even the constant buzz of notifications on my phone. It’s like I’m always playing catch-up, dealing with whatever is right in front of me, but never really making progress on the things that matter most to me in the long run. Habit 3 has made me take a step back and ask myself, What are the things that really count? What will have a lasting impact? It’s been a wake-up call to reassess how I spend my time and energy. Instead of just reacting to the ...
