What did I learn?

I was taking the entrepreneur course from the BYUI online and realized the entrepreneur class is more about thinking and reflecting on what is other entrepreneurs did. I realized we learn from other and some people think this is cat copy. But there are some differences. The world is not made out of nothing, Science approved the matters make things and not possible build something from emptiness. So, we learn from resources and build things on the principles.

If I had a lecture like Randy Pausch did as his last lecture, I would share more optimistic things and regrets that never started earlier things. I will encourage students to try something new and start as early as possible. Learning as not merely reading or setting behind a desk in classroom. It is more about exploring, traveling, meeting new people and trying it out.

Entrepreneurship is not running a business rather creating something new and keep working on until to build something and make it run. It should benefit not only you but society and group of people.

I was thinking what can I suggest if somebody wants to become an entrepreneur. The entrepreneurship is not an idea alone. It is consisting from experience, learning and interdependence, as Steven Covey described. There is an old saying in Mongolia “one wood does not make a fire; one man does not make a family”. In entrepreneurship it demands organizing the right team and working together. The idea should be charged by knowledge and experience. Otherwise, it will be empty tank of butane gas with a drop of gas.

Reading all the stories of entrepreneurs including Steve Jobs, Tom Monaghan, Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Charles Schwab and many other all had similar things. That is intelligence and gained some knowledge or experience somewhere. Not necessarily formal education but a great deal of combination of experience and knowledge. Not an idiot or lazy guy found among the list.

Like Jim Rohn said motivation alone is nothing, if motivate an idiot you will get motivated idiot. So, philosophy is base. You better read a lot and learn something.

My last lecture will encourage everyone to learn, learn and learn. Not just by reading, apply every time. You will fail but that is ok. Failure is part of the success. Remember Thomas Edison. He has learned 999 ways of not working the light bulb. Entrepreneurship is not a lucky draw. It is a lightening mind of idea for solution with persistence, failure and lots of hard work. Sametime it is charged by a great deal of learning. No pain no gain. Prepare to be failed and prepare to be stand up over and over. The success is somewhere nearby.

Overcoming Challenges

It is easy to say “Yes, you can” but it is hard to act. Lots of times the question will raise “Why it is happening to me” or “how can I do this”. Sister Holland quoted from a book The Politics of Experience, R. D. Laing said, “What we think is less than what we know: What we know is less than what we love: What we love is so much less than what there is, and to this . . . extent, we are much less than what we are” (R.D. Laing in Love, p. 19). Without being smug, we’ve known that since the dawn of the Restoration. Surely that ought to be our own exciting challenge toward becoming—of growing, seeing, feeling, touching, smelling, hearing, believing. No time for a Harlequin Romance or a long lower lip with that kind of view. Look at the word “exciting challenge”. How come the challenge is exciting? Elder Holland said “We speak about excellence a great deal at BYU these days, and, by definition, excellence does not come easily or quickly—an excellent education does not, a successful

What's Business For?

All it starts from what we must do in this world. Do we have to be selfish and only try to do something for ourselves? How about helping others? Is that necessary? The history of the world shows many facts that when a nation helps each other and serve each other they prosper but when they greed and boast with their wealth the nation declines and causes contention. And then revenge and pointless competition leads to destruction. Many people have seen in their own life when they help more to others their business and life gets exciting and never ends the joy and happiness. But one who seeks only his need and ignore others never gets out from miserable life. So, rich or poor, we are to “do what we can” when others are in need. Jesus taught the people serving others mean serving your God. So, he did not point people do many meaningless rituals and offering animals and stuff to God, but instructed people to serve and help the others. There are many companies have failed and hurt
