I have always been a Journal keeper. Shortly after I got married and moved I decided to accumulate all my Journals to see how many I had. I have basically kept a Journal since I was a child and have record of most of my life. When starting this class and learning that we needed to Journal each week my first thought was "that will be easy, as I already do this".
After listening to the the videos and curriculum for the first week I came to quickly realize that this is a different type of Journal as it is not a recording of life events and feelings. Although some of this can be included it is more of a Journal to recognize and learn things about yourself when it comes to becoming an entrepreneurial minded person.
Some of my favorite things that I learned from the reading this week was that this will be hard works. As looking into oneself and understanding desires, weaknesses, and motivation is not always easy to admit to yourself. Another thing I read that registered with me was about taking risk and what is really involved with this. I have always been fearful to take risk with my money. I tend to lean on the conservative and more safe side of spending as I have heard so many stories of people loosing thousands of dollars on investments that did not work out.
Reading about how to measure and understand the risk and being willing to live with the worse case scenario was helpful for me to realize I need to be more invested in learning about the risk before turning my nose up to it.
What I am looking forward to the most from this class is creating a life plan and analyzing different avenues that I have thought of for years. Understanding that this will be hard work as digging deep is never an easy task, but I am excited to take this Journey and l learn more about myself. I love most of the books that were listed in one of the videos and look forward to reading more material that can spark ideas and help me with creating my life plan.
