Entrepreneurial Journal

 This week in BUS110, I learned many ideas about becoming an entrepreneurial hero. The readings and videos showed me that entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business. It is about living with intent and building a meaningful life. Jeff Sandefer’s Living Life as an Entrepreneurial Hero taught me to dream big and accept that life is hard but full of opportunities. I liked his idea of choosing good people to walk with me on this journey. Surrounding myself with honest and talented friends will help me grow.


Reid Hoffman’s The Start-Up of You made me think about my personal brand. He says I am like a start-up, always learning and adapting. I want to invest in my skills and network with others to find opportunities. This idea of “permanent beta” feels exciting because it means I can always improve. Elder Bednar’s talk also resonated with me. He said I should be faithful and competent, not take the easy path in school or life. This reminds me to work hard and stay true to my values.


I also read about keeping an Entrepreneur’s Journal by Jeff Sandefer. Journaling will help me record lessons and questions, like a mirror that shows my progress. I want to write about what I learn each week to understand myself better. I am looking forward to creating my Life Plan Portfolio, especially the Stars and Steppingstones chart. I hope to discover my calling and take small steps toward it. I am excited to apply these lessons to grow my freight brokerage business by building a strong network and mastering skills to serve my clients better. This week, I feel inspired to be curious, ask “why,” and start my journey with courage.

This week’s study, especially Randy Pausch’s “Last Lecture” and the Introduction to Entrepreneurship course materials, really got me thinking about dreams, purpose, and how to live a meaningful life. Watching Randy’s video and reading the transcript hit me hard, he was so full of energy and wisdom, even when facing a tough situation. It made me reflect on my own journey, my childhood dreams, and how I can use this course to build a life that matters. Why was Randy Pausch able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams? I think it’s because he had a clear focus and never gave up, even when things got hard. Randy talked about “brick walls” being there to test how much you want something. He didn’t let obstacles stop him; instead, he found ways to push through or go around them. For example, he dreamed of being a Disney Imagineer, and even after rejections, he kept working toward it until he made it happen. His positive attitude, hard work, and ability to learn from failures were key. He ...

Reflections on Honesty, Integrity, and Measuring Life's Success

This week in BUS110 has been nothing short of transformative as I've delved into the vital themes of honesty in business ethics and what it means to lead a meaningful life. The readings and videos prompted some serious soul-searching about my journey with Logixso, and how it intertwines with my faith and family values. It’s fascinating how a class on entrepreneurship is guiding me back to the core of who I am and what truly counts in life. Let’s start with the W02 Study on Honesty & Business Ethics—it really struck a chord! Sheri Dew’s powerful words about integrity being “true blue, through and through” have lingered in my mind. She shared a cautionary tale about the dire consequences of ignoring a stop sign while driving a grain truck. It hit home: in business, even a minor slip—like a small white lie about delivery times—can snowball into a massive breakdown of trust. Dew introduced a grading system for motivations at work: aiming for A-level, which prioritizes loving God an...
