What is important?

What is important? What really matter? This a deep question. Regrettably, the answer sometimes is where we don’t hope. Small things make great things. Sometimes, we can have lost our path looking for big things, when smalls thing performs all big project.

If you are not sure what is the important in your life, I counsel you to listen your heart. Praying, and look for divine help is a good idea.

You shouldn’t forget that preparation is important before start any venture. And, I am not talking just about academic preparation, preparation include emotional and physical condition to put face to the journey.

Is the hard work the key to success?

Hard work is important, but hard work don’t depend of long hours of work, it is much about how good you plan and execute your work. If you are working long hours without time for your family, you are in the wrong direction.

What is the perfect venture?

This is an easy question. You must to identify what you born to do, when you know what is your purpose, you must identify your gifts and what can you reach with your abilities, and finally with this sum of motivation and abilities put in the market the thing or service for that people are willing to pay.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

“Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things” Randy Pausch This week, I had the opportunity of watch by first time the video The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. I found it instructional and motivating, so I will share the YouTube video in this blog. If we analyze the speech of Randy Pausch, we face that he had many dreams in their children as much of us. He wanted to feel 0 gravity, playing football, being a Disney imaginer, etc. But the reason because Randy achieve his childhood dreams was because he taught that all things are possible, and he had the inspiration to make his best effort to accomplish his goals. Something important in the life of Randy is that he didn’t achieve his dreams as was originally written, he discovered that some dreams needed to be modified to be attainable, so he did it. Dreams were important in the life Randy, and in our life because give us an objective. Personally, I admire Martin Luther King because he ...

Successful Entrepreneur Attributes

This week, I was studying about some attributes of a successful entrepreneur. The first attribute that I learned was perseverance. When, I was a full time missionary, one of the principles that I enjoyed to share with people was “enduring to the end”. In the gospel, frequently, people make covenants with quickly, and the start to receive blessings, but suddenly a proof afflicts them, and some of them abandon the righteousness, and they lost the blessings that God had prepared for them. As people who abandon their covenants with God, some entrepreneurs abandon their goal when they see problems in the way. Only perseverant entrepreneurs have the joy of taste the sweet reward. Another attribute of a good entrepreneur is his ability to find and built a good team, and he knows how to use this team in a way that produce the best results. Number 3, a good entrepreneur has a firm grasp of which numbers are important. And finally, a good entrepreneur is a person who knows ...
