Entrepreneurial Journal

Week 8:
     This week had a lot of great readings and videos. We learned a lot about the perfect leader, Jesus Christ. We heard from prophets about his examples to us and how we should try to emulate him not only in our personal lives but also our business lives and by doing so we will be successful. Religion and business are two things that seem like they shouldn’t mix, but they do. The go together perfectly and if we hold true to our beliefs we will not only be successful, but also blessed in other ways.
     I did not make any real progress on the $100 challenge this week because I am traveling right now; there was a wedding and baby shower in my wife’s home town. So, we made the 12-hour drive there and haven’t made it back home yet, but I hope to start painting parking lots this week and hopefully make the required $100 by the end of next week.
     I am enjoying the lessons I am learning from this class and love that this course puts such a focus on our savior when it comes to business. I know that I will be trying my entire life and never reach the level of Jesus Christ, but by reading how he is our example in something that seems very secular I know that working to be like him is the most important thing I can do in my life.
