Week 07 - Developing Habits/Goals



    This week I have really been focusing on my future and exactly what I need to do with my life. I have come to realize that I need to develop crucial habits in my life to help me get where I want to be in life. this week I have been reflecting back on  time here at college. It has really been hard to see how college has been beneficial to me in reasons of education. For me college has been one of the best networking times of my life & I have made friends at college that will be my friends forever. If college has offered anything to me thus far that was valuable to me it would be the friendships I have made. I say this because in school we go to college to get a degree and ultimately get a job in a career field we desire. After thinking about what I want for my life, I want freedom. I want freedom in my time & what I can make. I got thinking about my life and how if I went through with my degree that I would end up getting a job in some corporate america job  9-5 very safe consistent income. It got me thinking about what if I was to go do a high risk/reward job and earn 200 grand in two years? With that kind of money I could invest and build residual income for the rest of my life? It would create freedom & ultimately what I want for my life. This would be the perfect time for me to achieve it as I have no responsibilities of a spouse or children. I've been pondering about this for awhile now & I'm now just getting to writing about it in my entrepreneurial journal. My next steps will be to figure out what I should invest in.

A Hero's Journey

We were asked in our online class to watch a 22-minute video called "A Hero's Journey." What I took away from watching the video is that life is precious. Life can be taken away from us at any given moment and I feel we really need to not take our life for granted. We have a journey here on earth and we have one life to live it up. We are here to learn, to grow & to enjoy life to the fullest. I feel like each of us are on different paths and we are all in it together. In his talk, he talked about how he believed that some people in the very room that he was in, will be people who will change the world for the better. He talked about how he wanted to make a difference & he didn't know how to start. He also asked himself if he really has what it takes to succeed in life. He mentioned that we all have missions here on earth. A mission that will succeed our wildest dreams. In the talk, he said we will be able to succeed if we find our entrepreneurial calling. Most...

Here are the top 3 things from my bucket list that I want to accomplish very soon. 1. Start a podcast this semester. 2. Improve on the LLC I have right now this semester. 3.

I recently have started working with people who have the same vision as I do and we want to help the next generations "Step away from the screen and make something." I feel that ther...

Week 11 - Hopkins Family issue

It really got me thinking when I read about the mini case study on Hopkins family issue. This was the issue -  "For as long as he could remember, David Hopkins wanted to be a successful high school football coach. He even dreamed of joining the college ranks one day. In late 2000, after having achieved an enviable win-loss record at a smaller school, he was named as the head football coach at a large West Texas high school that had a long tradition of winning state championships. On the same day, his wife filed for divorce. She cited Hopkins’s many days on the road as the primary reason for their separation, and announced that she and her four-year-old daughter were moving back to her East Texas hometown. If you were Hopkins, what would you do? Ponder this question and briefly discuss your answer below." If I was Hopkins I would evaluate my love & passion and see what's most important in my life. For me & my priorities, I put God, family & then work. ...
