Week 9 Reflection:

What I learned this week - Carrie Walsman

    This class always amazes me with the content we learn each week. Each week keeps getting better and better, and somehow ALWAYS perfectly aligns with my real life situation. 

    Touching more on a personal manner, since Hawaii and it changing my whole life's direction, it just changed again. The plan is looking like I will be moving back and forth between Hawaii and Utah, starting after May, to help with the business social media's. I'm really excited and I'm hoping the business can get to that point, I honestly think they need my help to get things lifted from off the ground because right now they are stuck. 
Currently I just started a small business with my sister selling bracelets, I had the feeling that it's the right choice to make and to take the leap, so I ordered what we needed and so right now were making content for all of the socials which only 48 hours in has taken off and we are already getting asked what are shop is. 

    Two main learning points this this is the Baker vs Eater metaphor. The goal is to be the baker, someone who loves to create and bigger world means more things to create and make. The eater is the consumer who see the pie as his only and selfishly eats it. 

    The next thing I loved reading and it was almost hysterical reading because what we read was something that the Hawaii business NEEDS but they don't quiet see that yet. I even asked the son if I should send a page from the file, but sadly the owners are too close minded to be opened to any ideas at the moment, but he mentioned it was a good idea to bring up in a face to face discussion. Which I agree. The PDF was GOOD to GREAT. The things that stuck out to me the most was the leadership roles and qualities, of the leaderships that would help the business be successful and take off. I also really liked the quote that "good is and enemy to great"

Reflection Week 3

 Reflection  Carrie Walsman      Some of the best things I learned this week from class was how important it is to set yourself up for success rather than failure and what's important to focus on vs on what you can think about in the future.      Learning and talking about business ethics at first was no new news. Being brought up in the church with good moral and standard it felt almost silly being told that you shouldn't lie or steal with business.  It was shocking learning that some people actually need to be taught that.       It's important to be able to trust your employees.  You need to learn how to work hard, and remember your goals. Ask yourself what business you want to be and who do you want to attract, do you want to be an A-grade business? Or are you lowing your standards and values to be a B-C grade business.   A talk called "Making a Living and a Life" by Elder Lynn G Robbins talks about different levels in Business.  For a reminder an A grade busi

Week 5 Reflection

  "A Hero's Journey" Week 05 Reflection.  - Carrie Walsman This week we got to listen to one of my now Top 5 Talks which was "A Hero's Journey".  The talk was 22 minutes but it didn't take long for the speaker to grab your attention.  I would like to talk about 2 main points that ended up grabbing my attention. The first quote that stuck out to me was. " It’s all about you because using your gifts to change the world will change you in the process and you will realize you serve a force in the  universe that is  far bigger than you are." In the speech he tells the listeners to go ask 10 people what your best at. The goal here is to help find your talent and in doing that also your purpose. Talents a purpose line up fairly well. Lets break down the quote. its all about you using your gifts (talents) to change (serve) the world and in the process you will realize you serve a force (God) in the universe that is far bigger than you are. By using the

Why traveling is Important

 Why traveling is important.  Carrie Walsman 1/2/22 Writing this I had a great reminder of some of the places I've been and some of the connections I had made. The WHY traveling is important I love traveling, and when I first was able to travel outside of the United States, my love only grew deeper for it. Over the years I've been to serval different states, different countries like India, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Peru and Guatemala. It's hard when I always get asked "what country was your favorite?' It's always too hard answer because they are all so different and each have their own unique impact.  Since each country is so different, it leads me to my first point on why I think it's so important to travel. It opens your mind up to new cultures, new ways of living and food. It leads to opening your mind up and can help you with your own personal growth as a person.  Traveling also can help with gratitude, and can help you become a more caring person.
