Final thought on the Entrepreneurial Journey

 How to start the Entrepreneurial Journey


I have thought a lot about what it means to be an entrepreneur a lot during these last few months. I think that one needs to figure out firstly what they want their life to look like. Think about what makes you not want to have a job. Think about why you want to do something that forces you to be creative, and on your own. How come you have that desire in you? I think when you recognize that, when you feed that desire and realize it, then you have your Why. This will allow you to have clarity on what you really want in life, what you want your life to look like.

I would say that this is the most important thing to remember and identify on your journey to be an entrepreneur. You will face lots of uncertainty and challenges doing your own business or creating an idea for products that haven't existed yet, or starting a new service that hasn't been given yet. Remember what excites you and what you hate about where you're at right now in life. This will continue to give you clarity and motivation for building your business/creative idea. 

The last thing I would say to build your entrepreneur lifestyle is to have a real, set in stone game plan with some kind of mentors. You can have a business partner, someone you look up to and get advice from, someone in a similar industry you can get help from, even if they could be a competitor. You will need someone to guid you a bit on getting started. If possible, get a mentor that will be there the whole journey for you. This will give the best support to you when times get hard later down the road. Having someone that isn't like your mother or father or just best friend to guide you will get you farther in life than if you are alone.

How to Discover Who You Truly Are

 Do you know what your passion is?     One of the things that I've learned this week is that you need take time to truly think about your life, where you are going, where you want to be, and how you want to get there. We need to map our goals out, and list 'stepping stones' that will get us there,-which can be different jobs, experiences/opportunities, volunteering, or other network connections, like meeting people. We need to take control of what happens in life, and not just go through life passively. When you know what your passion is, then you can take control of your life and feel your purpose. In order to have a fulfilling life, we need to take action steps to work towards building that purpose.     One of the things that Randy Pausch was able to do, was to live his life intentionally, following what I stated above. He challenged the things that stopped him, put a block in the road, and were an obstacle for him. He let his dreams move him and lead him to a...

Gratitude

 How to be grateful at all times Have you ever thought about why it's hard to be grateful even in hard times? Why do people say it's important to be grateful in times when life is hard? I feel like people often say that, but we don't hear the reason why it's important to be grateful, especially why to have that attitude in hard times. It's easy to be thankful when life's going well, and you have what you want, and nothing is changing too much. However, we forget all the sudden the good things we have, when something bad comes along all too often.  In the videos about an attitude of gratitude, and the readings that I had this week for my class about how to be grateful and positive, really helped me understand what it actually means to be grateful. We usually think of it as being thankful for what is happening in life at the moment and thankful for what we have. But, I think I learned that it means not letting those negative things that can happen in life, affect...

How to Dream

 How to Dream Big Have you ever thought about what it means to have a dream? What do you remember from when you were little, and said 'I want to be _____ when I grow up?' We often forget about those dreams when we grow older. Why did we have that dream when we were little, then? What is it about children that makes them feel like they deserve those dreams or that they are capable of achieving them? You have to remember when you were little and confident in yourself, to remember who you are really inside. Often, we can still really keep those dreams in mind when we grow up. When we keep those dreams, we can feed ourselves hope and a purpose in life. In order to grow your business as an entrepreneur, you need to think about the general theme and main reasons for your dreams that you had when you were a child. This can help you figure out what you really want out of your business that you are creating now, and why. This will drive your vision for your business today. I think that ...
