Code: Select all: I've learned from Joenee Briones that everything in this world is spiritual to God and that I ought to view temporal success as a spiritual quest and a blessing as well. I've learned that in every aspect of our lives we should call for His help and from none else. I realized that there is never an easy road to success and that calls for spiritual guidance from our Heavenly Father. I've learned that as we pursue a goal in business or in any other aspect of our lives we should look into our heart and see what God is telling us to do. I know that keeping our hearts in tune with that divine guidance will never lead us astray, all we need is to be spiritually sensitive. From the story, "The Empty Pot", I've learned that it is okay to fail in business if you did your best and if it is spick and span. Most importantly, I've learned one rule of thumb from this story, it's "integrity before profit". When we are very honest with our dealings with our fellow-business people and with our clients, we shall never fail in gaining the trust that we need in the business world and from our Heavenly Father as well. This is also one stepping stone to success. One of the strengths of an Entrepreneur is that s/he is a visionary person. S/he is very free to enlist probabilities of the future and dreams indefinitely. S/he creates change and often innovates. One of the stated weaknesses of an Entrepreneur is that because s/he loves change, s/he "creates a great deal of havoc around him" or her, and s/he views people around him/her as "problems that get in the way of the dream". On the other hand, the Manager's strengths are planning, organizing, and doing whatever he is ordered to do. He lives by doing things which are pragmatic and practically tested by results, and he mostly does nothing varying from that. Because he is not very open to change, he cannot expand his abilities and creativity more than the Entrepreneur can. He's as if confined inside a room and cannot grow much. The Technician's strength is doing his thing right away but his weakness is that he cannot be more productive than the Entrepreneur or the Manager because he is not interested in new ideas as much as the other two are. In me I believe that there is a percentage of 55% Entrepreneurial personality; 30% Managerial; and 15% Technical personality. The first week of training was awesome! I was expecting very basic Entrepreneurial lessons but it catered to my need and expectation to be taught in my level as an Entrepreneurship graduate, at least also in my stage now as a newly returned missionary. It is my college degree cut down to 2 months from 4 years :) I am thankful that there is a program like this who balances spiritual matters to the temporal ones. I have never learned something like this in school. It is really a "practical" entrepreneurship in such a very short period of time.
