Alvaro Loran Week 9 Reflection Entrepreneurial Journal

The speech on transitioning from good to great really stood out to me from this week's study materials, especially as a future business owner. It was very interesting to me when they talked about how being good can be the enemy of becoming great. This reminded me that even if I'm comfortable with where I'm at I need to continuously work harder and focus on learning. This made me realize that I need not settle for being good and instead be all that God intended me to be. The speeches focus on how important it is to have a great product also stood out to me. With how consumer-based society is it's very easy for others and myself to forget that products should hold true value. This includes both monetary value and important value. These themes make me realize that I will need to focus on high quality and high value in my products so that they actually meet the needs of my target audience without just being another thing to buy. I also really liked how this speech talked about the importance of believing in yourself. I often find myself caught in the trap that I'm not good enough but one day I will be. Through this speech, I realized that I need to believe in myself now so that I can obtain my potential and become great instead of just good. This speech really motivates me to be confident in myself and know that no matter what I can achieve what needs to be done especially as an entrepreneur. Overall this speech really inspired me as I look to the future of becoming a business owner. It helped me create a plan to make a great business instead of just a good one. It made me realize that I do not want to settle and instead, I want to really achieve greatness and go beyond what a normal entrepreneur does.

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...
