My first Dollar

I made my first dollar! I know it took several weeks but I finally sold my product! Hopefully it will pick up and I will be able to make my 100 dollar goal by the end of the semester. I actually did not sell my tires that I purchased yet but it was a jeep part that acquired through the same source. At any rate I am pretty excited. This week on my entrepreneurial journey, I leaned a few key things that I feel are important to remember. The Acton Hero that we studied, Catherine Rohr, was inspiring to me. She talked about how business transformed her view of people and of life and the transformation she made from specifically seen people in jail as animals to seeing them as the great people they have potential to become. She now uses her talents to help others make transformations in their lives. It was a huge reminder that the most important thing in this life is not successful business, its people and the relationships that we develop. Elder L. Tom Perry also touched on the values side of business and the spiritual side in one of our readings. He talked about how we should first seek to build the kingdom of God before we seek riches. Then the Lord blesses us with success if we should desire it to do good and build the kingdom. The Lord wants us to be successful but He also knows our true purpose and measures of success in this life.
