Week 7

What I really enjoyed about this week in class was learning about how we need to keep pushing forward even when things get tough. I like when Elder Holland said that no matter what we must keep pushing forward. He said that we must do that in all parts of our lives. I think this is very applicable to business because as we have learned this semester, there will be a lot of hardships and struggles as entrepreneurs. During those hardships we will want to give up and throw in the towel, but as Elder Holland taught, things will get easier and we will achieve our goals because nothing great in life comes easily.

I also liked the story about the guy whose mom put him on the roof when he was a kid and said he couldn't come down until it was fixed. He realized that his problem wasn't fixing the roof, it was figuring out how to get off the roof. He realized that even though he didn't know how to fix a roof, he could find someone who did and could help him. I think he later applied this to his life in his networking. He understood that he didn't need to know how to do everything, he just needed to know people who knew how to do the things he didn't.
