Overcoming Challenges

The entrepreneur journey will not be easy. There will be many challenges and hardships along the way. These will be defining moments that will mold and shape you. This is the critical portion of the entrepreneur’s journey, where the entrepreneur learns the most about his true identity and convictions.

“The only limitations you have are those you set on yourselves. All of the tools and texts are here, right at your hand. But sometimes we cannot recognize the real purpose and significance of the moment which is ours to experience. That’s because too many of us learn only through our heads and not through our hearts! A common man or woman will hear only the commonplace, but a man or a woman connected to the powers of heaven will learn to be an inheritor of those powers."  (Sister Patricia Holland)

 

NEPHI´S EXAMPLE

“Like Nephi, he always kept pushing ahead, he always kept moving forward. He never quit, and he kept doing the right things; and as he did, the Lord helped him every step of the way to accomplish great things and I promise you that if you’ll involve the Lord in what you do, you’ll see him open doors. You’ll see him provide ways. You’ll see yourself do great things and be able to take advantage of great opportunities.”

 

“Probably one of the most important other things that I want to do besides inspiring you to pursue your goals and dreams, I want to help you understand the importance of not underestimating yourself - and the Lord and the great things you can do. Don’t doubt yourself and what you can do. As an entrepreneur, as you start a venture, you’re going to have all kinds of people laugh and say “you can’t do this” just like Nephi’s brothers. You can’t build a ship. Nephi knew he could and I know you can do whatever it is you set your mind to. With the Lord, you can do amazing things.”

 Overcoming obstacles in all aspects of life is a path of growth and improvement. Elder Holland's words as we face those difficult times in our lives can give us the strength, motivation, and guidance we need.

“Don't you quit! You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon. Some come late, and some don't come till Heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be alright in the end. Trust God, and believe in good things to come.
