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

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 ...

She was an example of how to become an entrepreneur, she was not the founder of any profit or nonprofit organization, but she left her personal mark in the mind of a big population.

Acts like that motivated people around her to become part of the same enterprise: to serve others. She did not die as a rich woman, and she never received a public r...

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 ...
