For those of you stumbling upon this blog I want to give you
a little background information:
This blog was created for a college
class in pursuit of my Bachelor’s degree in business, (I haven’t narrowed it
down any further than that). My professor has asked this journal/blog be
created based off the idea that a successful person is so in part because of
reflection and review of information learned and life experience revisited.
Personally I agree with the idea (Hence why I have two other blogs) and have hopes
that this blog will help me to be successful in not only my educational goals,
but also my current career in insurance sales.
In preparation of this blog I was
asked to read an essay titled: “Your Entrepreneur’s Journal” by Jeff Sandefer
for the Acton Foundation for
Entrepreneurial Excellence. A key point
I took away from this comes from the sub-heading titled: “Journaling to See the
World Differently” in which Jeff states that keeping a journal like this helps
you to internalize “one of the most important habits of a successful
entrepreneur—relentless curiosity.” I like this because not only is this a
principle that I can take away not only for this aspect of my life, but in all
aspects. I also appreciate that this essay has helped to give me better tips in
staying on top of my other blogs as they act as journals for my other thoughts
and experiences.
This should be an interesting
assignment/experiment for me because I never thought I would be in school for a
business degree. I’ve never really saw myself in the “business world” working
in a corporate environment. I’ve never once had a desire and yet all of my
working life has been in in this environment in one form or another. I view
this world to be corrupt and self-serving. The proof is in the pot, and a prime
example of this is the former stockbroker and trader Jordan Belfort (The Wolf
of Wall Street). My hope at the end of all of this is taking what I’ve learned
along with my growth spurts and applying it to help as well as serve others.
