I would
like to take this opportunity to review what I feel to be the most important
things that I learned the first few week s this semester to bring it back to
the front of my memory. This was a great class and the first few weeks were especially
motivating.
Class in review
1. The
Start-Up of You
a. The
first week we learned about the importance of investing in ourselves and building
the startup of us.
b. We
got to meet our fellow classmates and have fun playing different games to get
to know them better.
c. The
best advice I would give for this week is to be sure to have read all of the
material before class even though it is the first day.
2. Create
a Life of Meaning
a. The
second week we learned about setting goals for the future and making guard
rails to make our lives have more meaning.
b. The
best advice I would give for this week is to really think about where you want
to be in the future, it makes it a lot easier to think about what goals you want
to set for your future and where your ethical guard rails need to be.
3. Honesty
and Divine Guidance
a. The
third week of class we learned about the importance of ethics in business.
Without them we cannot be trusted in a management or even an employee position.
If we are ethical in our business dealings we will be happier and be more
successful.
b. In
class we went over the guard rails that we had been learning about and what
they mean to us and how they can save us from ourselves.
c. The
best advice I can give for this class it to take it very seriously and really
ponder what ethics are important to you and where your limits are so that you
can make good decisions not only in your business life but also your home life.
4. Taking
Control of Your Life
a. The
fourth week of class we learned about setting our priorities, we all have our
free will and get to make decisions for ourselves whether its business decisions
or decisions for our home life.
b. This
week we did our first case study. It was about Italia Factoria, an Italian buffet
style restaurant. It talks about how another restaurant felt that they had
stolen their ideas and wanted financial compensation for it. It was pretty
interesting especially since it was about our teachers business.
c. The
best advice I can give for this week is to have an open mind and realize that
when they say that this is your life, you get to make your own decisions it is
true.
