I Continue Learning

In Good to Great book, we learn that good is enemy of great because when people are comfortable with their results, they are not able to fix better and higher goals.

Also, James C. Collins invite us to choose the correct people for the company. This people, and you must be disciplined people, this mean that leaders must be humble, commitment, organized, inject personal capabilities, and make meaningful contributions based on talents, skills, good work, etc.; after you have selected people, then you can make assignments for members of company. The author teaches us the importance of disciplined thoughts, this mean confronts the true facts, and understand the hedgehog concept. And finally, it is important to create within the company a culture of discipline, and implement technology accelerators.

This week, reading the document “A message to Garcia,” I learned that one of most valuable abilities is the ability to execute. In the document, I learned the following steps:

1. Accept a mission, and get started
2. Be curious, and seek answers
3. Sketch out a plan
4. Ask for necessary resources
5. Enlist help when needed
6. Report
7. Under promise and overdeliver
8. Expect to make mistakes (this is the cost of learn)
9. Put results before schmoozing
10. Replace your voice in your head with positive actions

Continue your Journey

In the entrepreneurship journey, the most important to reach the goal is staying in the way. Most of entrepreneur don`t reach their goals because they abandon their purpose, or they don’t see a soon happy ending. Elder Holland teach us about blessings, and how sometimes blessings could delay, but for all whom are faithful, blessings will come. Sometimes projects are not following a good way because we are making any mistake. So, it is important during our journey make a step back, visualize the way, make pertinent adjustments, and start to walk to the main objective.

This week, I had the opportunity to interview an entrepreneur who works in the tourism industry with a travel agency. This experience helped me to learn some basic and universal principles about what define an entrepreneur as successful. During the interview, I learned that he never focused in money or income as a goal, but he focused so much in the following aspects: 1. A happy family is the main goal of any project. 2. An important asset of an entrepreneur is his network. 3.

An entrepreneur is a creative person, a person who don’t fear to mak...

Fulfilment, satisfaction, and happiness are reasons because we want to become entrepreneurs, spouses, parents, recognized, or whatever. President Thomas S. Monson shared a formula to success in our live. The 3 steps that he shares are: Fill our mind with truth Fill our live with service And, fill our heart with love I have proved that 3 steps work to have a happy life. Sometimes, entrepreneurs and people in general search for happiness in sensual pleasures (good food, drink, and sex), but at the end, they discover that these pleasures don’t fulfill them enough, and don’t give them the happiness than they are looking for. President Monson suggest “that when we search for truth, we search among those books and in those places where truth is most likely to be found.” The knowledge from good books help us to avoid bias in our path to the happiness. Service, it is one of the best ways to enrich our life of happiness. Implicit factors in service are to be grateful wi...
