Be hot or cold, yes or no.

    This week I learned that you shouldn't quit just because the going gets rough but if the going isn't going anywhere. 

    I learned that staying loyal to your vision and your standards is crucial just as President Hinckley explained in his 2003 talk, Loyalty , "I think of loyalty in terms of being true to ourselves. I think of it in terms of being absolutely faithful to our chosen companions. I think of it in terms of being absolutely loyal to the Church and its many facets of activity. I think of it in terms of being unequivocally true to the God of heaven, our Eternal Father, and His Beloved Son, our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ." 

I also loved thinking deeper about how this scripture can apply in my life: 
“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Rev. 3:15–16).

I aways thought about this scripture in regards to my faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. But thinking about it with a set of entrepreneurial glasses on made me think differently. I need to be strong with the choices and I make and stick with them. I need to not compromise on the things that matter most. I know there are times when we need to shift gears or to compromise but it's not on those deep core things.

I also really liked in the Harvard article when it talked about building and shaping with the things you have where you are. I think that it's really important to know how to work with what you've got and love it.

I also really liked the stress on growing the roots. Not worrying about having a ton of funds at the start because it'll help you grow those roots. It'll make you resourceful and I think stay humble.
