Find that something you have passion for...

This week I learned more about what it can really mean for me to be an entrepreneur. I was reminded about how money is less important than passion. That I will always be happier if I love what I'm doing, even if it means making a little less money.
I also really loved what President Hinckley said is his speech, Stand True and Faithful about choices and being true:

"You constantly are faced with difficult choices. Your problems are not new, but they are intensified. You are subjected to temptations that areattractive and appealing. You represent the future of this Church, and the adversary of truth would like to injure you, would like to destroy yourfaith, would like to lead you down paths that are beguiling andinteresting, but deadly."

"We believe in being true. How very important it is to be true to ourselves.Each of us has thing we call conscience. We know the difference between right and wrong. We do not have to be instructed concerningwhat is good and what is evil. think we know that. We know when wehave done the wrong thing, and we suffer pangs of conscience. We knowwhen we have done the right thing, and we experience sense ofhappiness. To be true to ourselves means being an example of righteousliving in all situations and circumstances."


I was reminded about how the customer is right and that we can learn so much from what they have to say. Sometimes those great new ideas will come from them. I also learned that being capable is important. You can dream up ideas all you want but you need to be capable enough to go after them and make it happen.

I learned that business can be better if business people are better. If we make decisions to do more than what the law says then improvements and progression can come more quickly. Especially, when we look outside ourselves more.

I also really liked the explanation of 'real justification' that came from the What's a Business For? article. Basically it means that a business is there so that something can happend to make something more or better. It's about improving some aspect of life.
