Key points from Lesson 1 of B283:
• Those that seek help in their entrepreneurship are more likely to achieve their dreams
• Start a business within your realm of passion and to help others before you help yourself
• The word “CAN’T” doesn’t exist if you want to be the best entrepreneur
I am loving this class, mostly because it uses the books and materials that I am already using to create my own business; it is a good confirmation that what I am doing is on the right track. I also love that we get to create a small business and donate all the earnings to Kiva.org, where we will be able to help others like ourselves achieve their dreams. Another aspect of this class that I like is that the teachings are blunt, truthful and supportive. I feel that in the world, there are too many people ashamed of never following their dreams and as entrepreneurs when we share our dreams we get pulled down. Not in this class, the first lesson was about dreamers and dreaming. I feel at home in the class.
I go into phases when I write in journals and don’t. I already have a business journal that has my dreams, goals, steps, actions, notes and doodads. But no one sees this personal journal, so having to have my heart open to the world will help me stay true to myself, answer for my posts, and be honest to others and myself.
So far for my $100 challenges, I still have not come up with the exact business I want to do. I would love to sell different flavors of root beer pop, but I want to make a business that can run without me being present every second of the business. And if I had to be present my business’ income would depend upon the hours that I spend on it. I need to solve peoples’ problems or needs without me having to be there every second.
