Alvaro Loran Week 8 Reflection Entrepreneurial Journal

From this week's readings, the thing that stood out the most to me was the video you can do anything. As someone who plans to own their own business in the future, this video really made me think about the fact I truly can do anything. I especially appreciated the fact that the speaker talks about the story of Nephi and the importance of pushing forward even through difficulties. The speaker's focus on the importance of pushing forward really spoke to my soul. I know that when I start my business there will be plenty of challenges that I'll need to face as well as overcoming my own self-doubts. This video is a reminder to me that good things never come easy. Like in the scriptures when Nephi has to push forward despite his brothers and his family fighting against him at times. It's very important to me that I realized that everyone needs to face obstacles but that doesn't mean that their progress will be stopped. I know as I start my own business that I can do what I need to do. I believe that with God and the help of my family that I don't have to worry about the challenges I will face and instead I can focus on becoming the person God needs me to be. Another thing that stood out to me from the video is the importance of knowing our potential. I know for myself personally that the more I think I can do the more I'm able to do. When I'm focused more on what I can't do I notice that I'm unable to do a lot of things that need to get done. Overall I think the video really made me think that I need to stop focusing on what I can't do and instead realize that I can always reroute and become better.

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...
