This week has been a combination of frustration and
successes in this class. I really didn’t
like having to deconstruct my fears. Who
does? But through that experience, I got a clearer picture that my fears are
really just that, my personal insecurities that most likely will never become
reality. With that perspective, I feel I
can face them with more confidence.
I also see value in the exercise of developing my personal
constitution. Not only did that activity
have me focus on what was most important in my life, but I went several steps
farther. I was able to write down what I
visualize for my own future in “I am” statements, giving power to the statement
and in visions for myself. I also set
long-term and short-term goals, which I truly believe I can achieve. I have hope for a more improved self as I keep moving in the
path I am in.
Once again, I find myself frustrated with the content of
this class. I know there is immense
power in the principles being taught. I
am grateful for that. However, I think
that it should be re—named “Personal development for business.” My 7th
grade daughter is covering a unit on Entrepreneurs in her jr. high class. She was studying her vocabulary list and I
didn’t know what most of the terms meant. She is working on projects to develop
her own fictional business. They
determine what need they are filling.
How are they going to do it? How
are they going to pay for it? How will
they advertise and promote their business?
How much profit do they project to earn?
My 12-year old daughter is learning what I had hoped to be studying in
this class. I hope eventually I will be
able to understand what I need to know to move forward on the technical side of
a business degree.
