L11: Entrepreneurial Journal

Remember, the ways we see things are a combination of what filters others have placed in our minds. These filters, ideas, beliefs, opinions and teachings get into our minds when we are very young and color and form the way we perceive or see things and issues. That is why so many of us think just like our parents think on so many issues when we are young.

 The first thing we need to understand about money is that is not evil. Money is neither good nor bad. The Love of money or the obsession with accumulating money from others unrighteously, no matter what the method, may be evil, but money in and of itself is neither good nor evil.
  • What is your attitude toward money?
  •  At this stage of my life I have been able to understand and look at the money in the following way: it is important for our needs, but it is not what makes me happy, what really makes me happy is my family.
  • How can your view of money affect the way you live?
  • I think it would affect my vision as long as I am not in harmony with the spirit, it will depend on what stage of my life I am, how dignified I am, how faithful I am, and many other things, but it will depend on my relationship with God.
  • What rules are recommended for prospering?
  • Rule 1. Seek the Lord and have hope in him 
  • Rule 2. Keep the commandments, that includes the temporal ones, tithing and fast offerings.
  •  Rule 3. Think about money and plan how you can become self-reliant. 
  • Rule 4. Take advantage of chances for learning so you will not be ignorant of these matters. Education, as President Hinckley has taught us, isthe Key to Opportunity.
  •  Rule 5. Learn the laws upon which the blessings of wealth are predicated.
  •  Rule 6. Do not send away the naked, the hungry, the thirsty or the sick or those who are held captive.

L12: Entrepeneurial Journal

Based on what you read in the first two pages (pages 3 and 4), why are virtue and integrity so vital to an economy? Not everyone is so complacent. Markets rely on rules and laws, but those rules and laws in turn depend on truth and trust. Conceal truth or erode trust, and the game becomes so unreliable that no one will want to play. Virtue and integrity are the bases of trust. We cannot trust the man or woman who lacks morals or is unwilling to live up to the morals he or she claims to espouse. Interestingly, Handy says that markets rely on rules and laws that depend on truth and trust; I would argue that if all men and women had virtue and integrity, rules and laws would be unnecessary. Trust, in particular, is important to a free market. I am more likely to spend if I trust a merchant; I am more likely to spend if I feel secure; I am more likely to embark on an endeavor if I trust I will not be cheated. Without virtue and integrity, that trust diminishes, money stops moving...

Growth Mindset

  This life is a life of learning, constant learning, and in this days I have learned many things, and especially that this life is full of challenges, mistakes, either because of our fault or the fault of others that affect us. We will always be afraid of being able to go further, beyond our strengths and limits. Many people lack confidence and faith to be able to do things for themselves, think that the world and opportunities are made for special people, rich people, different social status or different skin color. We live in our own perjury to think what people will say .   Many people don't undertand our divine   potential and the ability we have to do great things. Today watching a video and reading an article by Carol Dweck confirmed everything I had always believed, and I am going to take some of your words: "A growth mindset is not just about effort." Perhaps the most common misconception is simply equating the growth mindset with effort Certainly, effor...

ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNAL - LESSON 3

This lesson helps me to be able to apply the virtue of integrity, no matter the circumstance, place or time. Money is not bad, the bad thing is being able to love money above all things. Our heavenly father does not care how much money one has, if not how we can serve others, there are 3 specific things:   Are building His kingdom including strong and valiant families. Are honest in your dealings with your fellowmen and using your God-given talents in their service;  and if you are filling your life with good works, that positively impact your community and world. I always want to keep myself in Grade A, I pray to my heavenly father never to get away from the iron bar. When I was 26 years old, I was part of a company, as a founding partner. This company was engaged in sales of internet, telephones and cable channels. We start selling well, and doing the right things, then we start billing each month between 50,000 to 70,000 sol...
