Week 04

 Fears and Launching Leaders


    This week has been a great week while focusing on what my core values are. Including finishing off a fantastic book known as Launching Leaders. While reading I’ve found multiple flaws in myself, allowing me the great opportunity to improve and plan the rest of my professional journey. However I still have a ton more to go, its been a good start. That being said, focusing on some of my core values and how I can better balance my life has been a very good example of learning how to create boundaries. Those boundaries aren't just for interactions with other people, but in terms of my own, or in other words, my ethical guardrails. Ive found it rather interesting that all these skill sets align with one another, creating this perfect cycle that we can follow. However there is rather so much to go over and keep in mind, its good to start simple, and prepare goals and plans to help achieve and maintain each point. 

    Which had tied into how important balance is. Throughout my life my father has pushed how important balance is, and not even with like simple things like food. However what we spend our time on. Even though he wanted that to be something we would value growing up, Ive also found that to be a very heavily topic between the Lord and I that balance matters. Without balance, our entire system can be thrown off. Not enough social time? You may be a little depressed in the end of your day or feeling a little less fulfilled. When we do not have that balance, we put ourselves in danger of being harmed, or even falling out of the path God has created. It was mainly just an interesting thought that occurred to me while reading.

Week 01

Preparing for the Big  In this short week of learning, I've enjoyed reading the experiences some incredible entrepreneurs have had throughout their lives, including the insights and tips when getting started. I found it even more interesting how our mindsets typically follow what we think we are capable of and stick with that safe zone. However, taking the steps and even the opportunity to stretch yourself further, and putting that action in, is what is really needed to get started. Furthermore, I reflected on some of my own talents and what I could possibly want to do with them. Unfortunately for me, reflecting on this hasn't been the easiest, considering I tend to hop from one thing to another, never truly becoming the master of anything. However, after some reflection on what really puts me in that zone where I lose myself in the work, where the clock isn't something to be considered. I found a few things that stood out to me. So, I'm taking that as the first step i...

Week 03

While studying the life and career of Yesil, Ive learned how important it is to develop very certain skills, and not exactly in terms of being simply good at something. Rather developing skills that keeps you resistant and persistent. Of course later on that connects to the rest of our studies this week, where creating our own Code of Ethics has been a great introduction to understanding where our boundaries are in aspects within our personal life, and outside life. From a more ethical standpoint, I love how Yesil made decisions not just based on profit, but on what felt right for her and her life. She had set boundaries for herself that proved to have been very useful for her later in the end. She maintained a strong sense of integrity, refusing limiting contracts, negotiating fair terms, and ensuring she never compromised her freedom or her family’s well-being for the sake of a business deal. That balance between ambition and personal grounding is something I deeply respect. Its some...

 Learning and Growth.       From simply concluding another fantastic reading of the book Mastery, by George Leonard. Ive learned many principles that I could start applying to myself now. Along with allowing myself some reflection of my own times of success and how it looks very familiar to the aspects and steps he shared. Understanding what simply true mastery implies, whether in a skill, a career, or even personal growth, its a life long process that we all must endure. Even before starting this class, Ive learned in my own personal learning that I need to learn to love learning, and love even things things I normally would not enjoy. Not exactly activates, but aspects of reasonable skillsets that we must obtain. Its completely willing to change that mindset to allow us to see the positives of our progresses. One of the many key takeaways from reading his book was in fact embracing our 'plateaus' in life, and avoiding trying to escape them. Or we may find ours...
