Week 6: Spiritual Aspects of being an Entrepreneur

     This week’s lesson from school was really short but also very good. I love hearing and learning from those that teach at BYUI and also from LDS church leaders because I feel that they have a greater understanding of what the Lord wants from un entrepreneurs. I also believe that they know and teach that being a successful entrepreneur with millions of dollars in the most important thing in life. Jan Newman on March 7, 2011 said in his talk that he had a calculus teacher that said “You believe that the Lord had put you in these situations to make lots of money to build up the kingdom of God, but you’re wrong. You know what the Lord needs from you? He needs you to do your Home Teaching!” This is a perfect example how one keeps the true perspective in life, having God, then family the most important and those that you are required to take care of. This morning I became discourage because while working on my ultralight business, then I listened to this talk and realized that I need to be on the Lord’s side and if I show the Lord that I am his then I know he will help me out. So right after these videos I emailed both my home teaching families to set up an appointment this month. I also told my wife a long time ago that I didn’t want to have a “job” because I wanted to go to the temple each week. Well last week I decided that I was going to the temple each Tuesday morning but today came and I didn’t go. I believe that probably was the reason why this morning business session didn’t go so well. So do I go each week or not? Now is the time to decided how dedicated I am to God.
