My Entrepreneur Goal

 

Throughout this class I have gone back and forth on whether or not I want to be an entrepreneur, in the sense of starting my own business. I kept asking myself, “How can I start a business when I want to be a stay-at-home mother?” My answer finally came this week while I was completing Mentor Session #5 from the book “So You Want To Be An Entrepreneur?” I realized that my passion of teaching and taking care of young children would be perfect for starting my own in-home preschool! Now my entrepreneur goal is to start my own in-home preschool business for children in my neighborhood, when my youngest child is 4 years old (preschool age). This would allow me the flexibility to still be a great stay-at-home mom and still follow my dream of starting my own business and teaching. It is very exciting for me!

This week in my entrepreneur class I also really enjoyed reading and reflecting on the talk “Loyalty,” by President Gordon B. Hinckley. President Hinckley teaches, “be loyal to your best self.” Often I have heard before the phrase: be true to yourself. I love how President Hinckley so wisely adds, to your best self.  Each of us has great potential and we must be true to that, always improving and trying to be more like that self and leave behind the filth of the world. We should strive to be our best selves rather than settling for what we are now.  It was a wonderful talk and I encourage all to read it and reflect.
