This week offered a lot of encouragement! I was excited by the talk and video from Elder Holland. He always offers sage advice and wisdom. One of the best things he talked about was when he offered the advice to just keep moving. He shared personal experiences that help you to understand that no matter what it looks like from the outside, no one gets an easy ride. It takes a lot of work and effort and a lot of putting one foot in front of the other with small progress. Rarely do we get to where we are going in grand steps. I also enjoyed the videos. The 5 Why's by Eric Ries was a really great idea. I think that using that technique is something that can help any entrepreneur.
I was excited about the prospect of the interview. I spent time contemplating my options for entrepreneurs, but finally decided upon one person. I was able to spend time thinking about interview questions and the purpose of the conversation. This conversation is meant to be meaningful, so I wanted to make sure I knew the kinds of things I was interested in finding out. I was able to make an appointment for the discussion for later next week so I can spend more time in preparing for it. It will be great to interview someone who started small but has found great success in multiple business. I look forward to that opportunity.
Reading the chapters in "A Field Guide Hero's Journey" were also helpful. I think that this book is very well written and has a lot of great insight. The Stones in the Road chapter helped me to realize that it is not going to be an easy journey. I think that sometimes you get the impression that if you do your homework and prepare, that you can have an easy road. While preparation is key, there are always going to be obstacles to overcome. Knowing this ahead of time will help you to persevere when things become challenging instead of just assuming we have failed and quitting. That is one of my biggest take-away's from this week. We are going to have to work hard and push through the challenges, day after day to find great success!
