The Life´s Journey of an Entrepreneur

Someone once said that the two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you figure out why. Living a life of “Meaning” is about living a life with “Intent”.

It is about knowing ourselves, developing skills, talents, abilities, gifts, etc. as well as facing challenges, taking risks, and recognizing every day that the greatest struggles lead to the most powerful growth and development.

The life of an entrepreneur starts with taking responsibility for ourselves and turning big dreams into small realities.

There are some important aspects to consider in this wonderful and exciting journey. First and foremost, you need to DREAM BIG, this is the core of the journey. Then, remember that a long journey STARTS WITH A FIRST STEP. Take into account that LIFE IS HARD and seldom fair. PERSEVERANCE, NEVER GIVE UP, and MOVE FORWARD are the engines for this journey. Please EMBRACE FAILURE AS A FRIEND, you cannot control the uncontrollable, you sometimes will fail. Last but not least: SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD FELLOW TRAVELERS; smart, talented, driven, helpful, and honest people should go with you across this path.

Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha affirm: “For life in permanent beta, the trick is to never stop starting. 

The star-up is YOU”

A few questions can help to diagnose where we stand on the journey and decide what to do next:

A)           Who am I?

B)           What commitments must be made and kept?

C)           Am I making progress in the right direction?

D)           Who is walking with me?

E)            Why am I here?

 

Discover an entrepreneurial “calling” that will help you decide what to do with your life and who you want to become. By reviewing these questions frequently you will have direction and purpose.

Remember our WHY and Learn with a “strong mind” and a “mighty heart”, as Elder Bednar has taught, will lead us to wonderful and successful journeys in our life.
