Alvaro Loran Week 7 Reflection Entrepreneurial Journal

Out of all the habits in the book, the first habit to be productive stood out the most to me personally. This principle stood out to me because it made me feel like I have control of my life and I'm not just somebody who can be controlled by my circumstances. To me being productive means that I have the power and the choice to be in control of my actions. This includes making sure I'm reaching my goals and making small steps every day that progresses me to where I need to be. Overall, this simple principle makes me feel more capable of making my own choices and becoming the person I want to be.

This simple habit also changed the way I look at difficulties and problems. This habit made me realize that I don't need to dwell on my mistakes or things that I can't control instead I need to focus on what I can do and make goals to move forward each and every day. This includes realizing that I'm a master of my life and that if there's a problem, I need to solve it. By being proactive I can more fully change my mindset to someone who can achieve anything. Realizing that I make time for things that are important and that my life won't control me. Being productive makes me personally responsible for my own success. It also helps me to realize that the choices I make are the things that determine if I will be mediocre in my life or if I can actually begin to have success.

By embracing this simple habit into my life, I feel I will be able to grow personally and as a business owner. As I recognize the power is mine, I can make goals that improve my life and professional development. Overall, this principle makes me personally responsible for being productive each and every day. This habit has made me realize the power is mine and every time I don't do what I need to do and make excuses that it takes away from who I could be.

Alvaro Loran Week 11 Reflection Entrepreneurial Journal

After going through this week's materials the reading "Attitude on Money" by Stephen W. Gibson stood out the most to me. I really resonated with the message of this reading as I also believe balance when it comes to money is very important. I think too often people tend to assume money is either good or bad. I personally believe that like the reading said that it's most important what you do with the money as opposed to how much you have. It's easy to say money is evil however we all need it in order to survive. On the opposite side, it's also easy to say money is all good. However with this assumption in mind if someone spends all the money on negative items that only hurt others and themselves that can't be seen as good. I believe someone's view of money can significantly impact their life. If people only see money as the goal of becoming an entrepreneur it's very easy to get overwhelmed and think that if they don't make money immediately the...

Alvaro Loran Week 10 Reflection Entrepreneurial Journal

As a future entrepreneur, the video that stood out the most to me from this week’s material was Elder Oaks' talk on “The Challenge to Become”. Sometimes when I think about owning my own business I get focused on how I will make money and become successful. When I watched this talk I realized I need to focus more on who I want to become. One of the things that stood out the most to me was Elder Oaks' focus on progression. I know especially for myself I tend to get overwhelmed when I focus on trying to get everything right the first time. I really appreciated how Elder Oaks focused on progression instead of perfection. This helped me to realize I only need to focus on the things within my ability to do. I also appreciated how Elder Oaks talked about the importance of knowing your values and following them. I want to make sure as an entrepreneur I have strong values. I feel like that is what has been lacking at my past jobs. I feel like sometimes I just go through the motions with...

Alvaro Loran Week 14 Reflection Entrepreneurial Journal

If I had one final lecture to share with a group of students on what I learned from this course it's the fact that we all need to have a purpose. I really appreciated how throughout the semester every time we had studies there was always a general conference talk or speech included. For me personally, I know I tend to get overwhelmed by the idea I'm alone and I need to get things done. Especially as an entrepreneur, I felt like the journey would be long and hard. However, as I've started going throughout this course I've realized that being an entrepreneur doesn't need to be lonely. Instead, I’ve learned that as long as you have a focus on what's most important that you'll never be alone. With that purpose, you'll be able to get the support of the Lord and attract the right people to you. This makes me feel that no matter how difficult my entrepreneurial journey might be I know that as long as I have a purpose and a mission that the right people will com...
