This week was another great week of study. I truly enjoyed listening to the talk by President Monson. I love his ability to tell a story. His stories of gratitude were truly inspiring and left me wanting to do more, especially at this tender season of the year. I love the story that he shared about his Sunday school teacher and the impact she had on the class when she asked them to donate their party money to a class member in need.
Larry North was a very inspiring character that was introduced this week. I think that it is wonderful to understand that our background and experiences we have can propel us forward to better things, even if those experiences were not the best. He took his difficult childhood and used that to fuel his successes. He had a lot of gratitude for the every day and for the mentors he had found along the way. It was truly inspiring to see!
I especially enjoyed the presentation by Ted Zoller about the deal-maker pathway. I found it to be interesting that working for larger companies tended to be a good way to be successful as an entrepreneur. I like the fact that we do not have to choose path A or B and stop dreaming. We can use the time working for larger companies to help us gain needed tools to be successful when we branch out on our own. I also like the case study about Randy Haykin and to see how he was able to wait for the right time. He worked for larger companies and then when the timing was right he was able to find great success launching his own business with partners he had worked with for years in one capacity of the other.
The last piece of wisdom that I want to remember from this week was from Stan Christensen. He talked about how we had a lot of decisions about what to do and how to figure out the path to take. He said that part of that decision should not be what we think other people expect or want us to do. He said that this is a way to lead to a lot of unhappiness and things that will not fulfill us. The advice to pick something that we personally enjoy was great advice that I want to use. It seems simple but it was so well timed for me this week!
