Follow My Thoughts

This week has been outstanding! I was able to close an important deal between my partners for the new project we are planning to start!

Some of the things that I have been taking into account while working on this project, is that trials are always present when running a business. As a matter of fact, trials help you to shape and shine your business. As we were taught in the General Conference "trials become our greatest teacher."

So when we exercise faith, we are patient during the time of trials and when we follow the promptings of the Spirit is when we see a clearer path.

Pondering about the question suggested on the video Do What You Love which states "What are you born to do?", has made me think on "my calling" and what are the things I am doing to find that answer. Launching Leaders provides the great recipe not only for this answer but for our success. Identifying our stars (what we want to be in the future) and defining our steppingstones has been an exercise that I would have liked to be taught 10 years ago, however, the recipe does not suggest an specific age. The Lord is interested in our personal growth but it requires additional efforts.

I would really like to add a bit of more sacrifice to find answers and other ideas while pondering in my Holy Ground. For several personal reasons I have not been able to do it constantly, especially because the time I planning to do it is at the mornings and I have not been able to sleep on time. Nonetheless there is something in my mind and heart that tells me I need to do it. I will focus on this goal during the next weeks...

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...
