Interview with My Father

This was my favorite week of the class. My father has been a dog breeder my whole life. I got married and was doing hair outside of the home. I hated leaving my kids everyday to work for so little money. I decided that I wanted to get a couple dogs and breed them. I needed to just make what I did part time doing hair. I was so grateful for the leg work of my father in the business. I already had a foot in the door. When I interviewed my dad I got to tell him how grateful I was for his work. We went to lunch and had a good time. I loved being able to ask him about the advise he would give his younger self. I was surprised by the answer. He wished he stayed more present. Life moves really fast. We grew up fast. He can't turn back time. He told me that I need to slow down and spend time with my kids. Great advise. He sees the value of family. I'm so grateful to have grown up in a family that had the gosple. Family is the most important thing in this life.

The judgment or disapproval of others? Physical harm? Endangering the ones you love? Embarrassment? My biggest fears are about failing. My business failing and no...

BUS 110 Entrepreneurial Journal Week 1 Your journal isn’t just a place for you to store what you know, but also how and when to use it. Just write. It doesn't have to be perfect. Live life as if it is an adventure. Dream big. No one ever really wants change. We fear change. We want safety and stability and comfort. That’s why big leaps help focus our attention outside, toward the horizon, away from our own daily fears and petty insecurities and sloth. What brings me joy? Accept that life is hard and seldom fair • Know that you must persevere to develop the habits and character that will determine your destiny • Understand that choosing doesn’t mean you are in control, and that real entrepreneurs learn to fail quickly, cheaply, and often • Find the right fellow travelers, because you will tend to become like those who surround you When I die what do I want to be known for. Was I good person? Did I love my children? Starting my own buisness was the hardest thing I've e...
