     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.
