Hello everyone, and welcome to my new blog.  I am currently enrolled in BYU-Idaho online classes and for my Business 183 class I have been asked to start writing an online journal, so here we go.

This was my first week of classes and it has been extremely business.  Learning the new tools has been a little bit of a struggle but the information has been great and exciting.  We are currently studying not only LDS principles in business from the likes of President Gordon B Hinckley, we are also using the books, A FIELD GUIDE FOR THE HERO'S JOURNEY by Jeff Sandefer, 
The Ministry of Business: How Correct Principles Magnify Business Success by Steven A. Hitz and James W. Ritchie, and Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment by George Leonard.  I'm excited to dive into these books and pull out the knowledge within them.

This week we watched a handful of videos and read a few articles for our classwork.  I really enjoyed President Hinckley's video talking to the students of BYU in 2002.  He truly inspires and lets all of us know how important education is and what kind of responsibility that gives. The world's work is done by ordinary people like us, and we need to be the leaders of tomorrow.  The video Launching Leaders video was also very good.  I loved how they discussed networking and making friends.  They showed how we would do that going forward by the articles and books we would be reading.

I'm looking forward to this journey and hope this journal will help me remember the lessons I learn.
