$100 a learning experience week 2
I wrote on my assignment this week about the different business ideas I have to produce the income. I actually working selling sodas in the street and teaching English lessons is actually helping the family economy. But by the things I am learning is like challenging my brain to think of better ways to make money to pay my family needs and the university. I ended up totally impressed with the story of Mr. Monaghan. A man who, after working so hard to get everything he wanted, discovered his proudness to end up giving everything into perspective. I agree with the fact that we are getting ready to actually do our work. The other reading that actually hit me was the story of the entrepreneur who founded a system for sightseeing and other activities. I like the fact that this man actually faced all kind of difficulties to get his job done. What is also something important to mention about how creativity can be promoted in an office. The fact that it is not something that comes from smart or really geniuses but from people who gathered together and have the capacity to carry on a conversation where different opinions are exposed and the result of that can be the creation of a new product, service or any other thing new.

The beginning of the Journey
It has been hard to go through pathway and when the time came, it was unbelievable to confirm that we were already freshman at BYU - Idaho management school. Why did I decide that major? During my life more than a job hunter I learned and I was taught to prepare something and sell. Somehow in the middle of the journey I decided to learn English to teach it. After 20 years of doing it. It was rewarding but it did not take me where I wanted to go. Now after this two weeks in the university I discovered how powerful is a preparation on Entrepreneurship. The fifty things dream list made me think that most of the things I dreamed doing were being left undone. I was being left aside. After writing my list of business ideas I am actually thinking of a lot of the things I can do to make money. I am good at it. I sold my first English Lessons to people without being a licensed Teacher and I got a good number of students. All of them accomplished their goals but me. Now I begin this journey with a lot of expectations and strong desire and work to make it happen. From the very beginning, the idea of coming back to school brought hope not only to me but to my family. Things have changed around. Brainstorm of ideas began to come. We are actually doing things in order to face difficulties and the classes are actually helping us to make better decisions and to trust in the future ahead. We are working as hard as we can to overcome the difficulties we are facing and make it happen.
