The messages of this lesson have focused a lot on ethics and
integrity. I’m grateful that I have
developed a core belief system and have built habits of integrity into my
life. Through this week I’ve been able
to recognize that we all still need to watch ourselves continually so that the
little things don’t begin to slide. Like
Sister Dew told in her story of driving the grain truck through the stop sign,
we cannot let ourselves begin the downward slide by giving in even once.
As far as the course material goes, this week I have felt
like Daniel-san in The Karate Kid. I
feel we have been doing a lot of "wax-on, wax off" and I am itching to get to the
“real” karate. As I perused the
syllabus, I see lesson after lesson on developing myself, but precious little about
the nuts and bolts of building a business, which is what I had expected for
this course. I have questions like, “What
exactly is an entrepreneur?” Can he/she develop a large corporation as well as
small businesses? When should one consider incorporating over a partnership?
What kinds of funding are available to businesses?
What is Angel funding? Venture
Capital?” I find myself getting annoyed
at the waxing and painting I feel this class is asking us to do. However, I do understand that there is great
value in the lessons I am learning. So,
in the meantime, I will try to be patient as I recognize that the Master is
developing skills that will make me a better person and a stronger player in
the long run.
