A New Beginning

Well, here I am again.  It is a new semester at BYU-Idaho and I have started a few new courses.  One of those is Business 283.  In this class, I have been asked to keep this online journal/blog.  I'm excited for this opportunity to continue sharing my experiences and insights.  I'm really looking forward to some excellent projects in this class including the $100 challenge.  In this project, I need to make a new company with a maximum of $20 seed money and after all is said and done make at least $100 profit. The other great part of this is that my profits will all be donated to someone in need through the site Kiva.org.  This is a great chance to learn and give back.

I have also really enjoyed this weeks' lessons on finding good business blogs.  I have decided to follow the blog,  The Entrepreneurial Mind  I hope following it will help give me insight and ideas for my own career and businesses. I know that as I explore new ideas and learn lessons from other business owners, it will help me in my passions and pursuits.

This week I also learned about Corey Bell.  He is a man who saw how his life wasn't going to get him to the place he wanted to be in 15-20 years.  So instead of feeling down and defeated, he decided to do something about it.  It pushed him into being an entrepreneur and work for himself.  I loved his attitude about always doing his best and never using the word can't.  When challenges come, we must find a way to overcome!
