 Reflection Week 13

Carrie Walsman 

This time in my has never been more full of opportunities, and I'm trying to figure out what path to take. 

I really liked this week in the PDF file we read which was the framework for identifying and exploiting opportunities.

 In the file it says "The questions associated with the criteria are in a yes/no format. But in fact, there are four possible answers to each question. A “no” is a clear red light. For a clear green light, the entrepreneur should be able to give a “yes,” or, if the economics of the opportunity are reasonably predictable, a qualified “yes.” The potential of an assisted-living venture, for example, can be assessed by looking at such factors as demographics, income, existing competition, and applications for new licenses. Sometimes you may not be sure, either because you lack the necessary information or the information simply isn’t available. If your answer is “need more information,” you must determine whether you can get it in time and at a reasonable cost. A detailed consulting study is unlikely to meet those criteria. But you could consult a few people who have expertise in your field of interest and who can be trusted to offer an objective opinion."

By answering the Yes or No questions it can help decide what path you want to take. 
I had an opportunity but it's a "maybe" with the Realness of opportunity. by Making a list of notes it can help me decide logically what path. It's still a hard one because next it leads onto the personal analysis which tips the scale back and forth between some. They both have the ups and downs. 

But that's part of the exciting part is decided what to do and what path to take.

 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.
