I like to think. Spending time pondering on a business idea is one of my favorite things to do. This week I considered a temporary business opportunity. I enjoyed doing some research and visiting the location for the business and then trying to think through each eventuality and how I would solve each problem. In the end I came to the conclusion that it would not be financially lucrative as a short term 'pop up' style business, but I enjoyed the process and I learned a few things that I did not previously know. I also continued running my own little business and I had opportunities and ideas on expanding it a little. 

As I watched some videos for class some of the things that I liked the most were the emphasis on being honest and also of building a business or organization around good people. I loved the idea that even more important than how to problem solve or grow or any 'what' questions, is that of who you work with. What kind of personal qualities they have and what kind of a person they are is so important for your organizations ability to truly become great! I found that this concept of surrounding yourself with happy, good, motivated people is not only limited to business but is important in many areas of life and personal greatness. 

Another thing that hit me this week is that I am not the only one that has struggles with self doubt. I think that there are probably times or days for every entrepreneur that causes them to indulge in negative self talk. I can't let myself get wrapped up in that or I will end up perfectly comfortable with good and never arrive at greatness in my own personal calling. So, take a minute this week to tell yourself that you have great talents and let yourself find ways to develop them!
