Retaking an educational life

After almost 6 years without studying this decision I have made has been an extremely exciting and blessing experience. There is a power in the educational system of BYU, and when we combine the spiritual and edutacional kills we will all develop throughout our new journey we can expect to be real Disciples of Christ.

This 1st week has been imperative for a clear understanding of my purpose here at BYU and the expectations that the University, my family and the Lord have with me. President Hinckley and Elder Bednar were very direct addressing this subject and considering their wise point of view, there are just more than good feelings about this new challenge and opportunity in my life.

I love businesses and I am able to spend  a great part of the day thinking on different ideas or projects that may benefit others and that could also be great business opportunities.

I have pondered a lot over the words of Jeff Sandefer in Living Life as an Entrepreneurial Hero when he says, "Extraordinary things happen when you surround yourself with smart, talented, driven, good people who share your mission." Unfortunately I have put my heart (feelings) over my mind (wise decisions) when attempting to start a business project, reason why I have not been able to find the right "fellow traveler." This is a lesson I am still learning, but I am confident that as I continue this learining process I will be able to make better decisions for my future business life.

I hope someone else feels identified with me. I am sure we will make it!

What about money?

This week has been full of challenges and especially with my business projects. I have had to face several inconveniences with some of my partners and this is causing delays in our plans. I am going through a financial challenge in my life and precisely this situation has encouraged me to seek revelation and ponder in how will I manage everything. I have a conviction that money is just the resource, that if it is well used, blesses the life of others including us, of course. Having this point of view towards money has set my heart and mind into the important things in my life, my family and my religion. Thus, this perspective encourages me to work for the right reasons and look for the best way to help others. Reading about the rules for prospering has also helped me to keep the right focus towards money, the following are the rules: 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. Th...

Entrepreneurship

This has been a year full of challenges and opportunities. I would say that developing a business project such as the one I am dealing with is not easy, in fact creating a call center is complicated and requires a considerable investment of time and money. Something intriguing for me was I had evaluated several items mentioned in the reading "Identifying and Exploiting the Right Entrepreneurial Opportunity...for You" when I was looking for venture capital. Unfortunately for me, I did not pass the last filter in a local presentation of business projects that our city hall was looking to finance. After reading the text mentioned above, I had realized what other aspects are taken into consideration for these investments. I feel encouraged to make some adjustments to my business project. I feel like I now have more valuable information to create a better opportunity for my society. I have also felt identified with the description given of how an entrepreneur is like, citing...

Spiritual insight

This week I want to focus my writing on spiritual things I had to analyze. When I heard Jan Newman's talk "Loyalty to God and Family" it really made me ponder on how centered is my heart in God and my family. I am right now in the long process of developing a huge business (with 2 partners in different countries) which not only requires money and business knowledge but it also demands time of quality to concentrate and focus on certain aspects of the project. I also have a calling as the ward's secretary and I need to go throughout the week to the chapel and meet with the bishopric, however, I have personally experienced how easily a voice comes to me saying "Don't go this week, concentrate on your business. You can still go next week and it will be fine!" That is a constant voice I hear whenever it comes to attend to Church assignments. The reason why I am bringing these experiences is that it makes me remember a promise received from my Mission Presid...
