My Journey Continues

         This semester has been quite the journey for me. My kids recently informed me that while I am in school, they are in bondage. We are ready to be out of bondage! This tells me that I struggle finding balance in my life. Balance is such an important part of the journey. In my study, balance was compared to someone trying to spin multiple plates on sticks. It can be done, tending to each one, but if one is neglected it falls to the floor. This is just like our lives. If we neglect our spirituality, our testimony falters. If we neglect our marriage, it will fall apart, etc. Balance often takes sacrifice. What are you willing to sacrifice to make your business successful?

I have really enjoyed the opportunity to learn and study what entrepreneurship is. Entrepreneurship isn’t just beginning a business or striking out on your own. It begins with a journey of self-discovery. From taking this class, I have learned some of my strengths and weaknesses. Through this knowledge I am now able to learn how to work with those strengths and weaknesses more efficiently. One of my favorite parts of the class were interviewing a successful entrepreneur. Learning from someone who has been there and done that was a wonderful opportunity.

If I was to share a last bit of advice it would be that we are all on a journey and that journey never ends. Before jumping into beginning a business it is important to discover your why, your reason. Why do you want to be in business for yourself? What do you want to gain from the experience? If the answer is money, you are barking up the wrong tree and look into other options.

This class is coming to a close but my journey continues. I look forward to discovering what the Lord has in store for me and where the journey will take me.
