Buyouts and family businesses

I have to recognize that may be in another life things would have done better, this is my life these are my circumstances, I am thankful for BYU - Idaho and the opportunity to study. Before I was a man, poor with lack of money and a job. It is going to finish my first semester at BYU I took 5 courses, I do not advise you to do that if you do not have enough to back up your family. We had to face my wife surgery, my possible surgery and my son illness, the first two I did not see coming, but after I experienced I come to the conclusion that I would have done it again. Because there was no way to know things were going to be that bad this first semester. In conclusion, yes I do not have money, I do not have a job, but I learned how to designed my website, in fact I designed it, I learned to do my business plan but I also learned a lot about other business possibilities, I have learned to earn my life in coins and I found out that so far while others are playing big, I have just keeping myself busy, I learned about buying businesses and the advantages of doing it, I also learned how to organize a family business, I had a conflict in this part because I would really like to include as many family members as possible but it will not be possible. I am working on my Soda selling but there are some new ideas I am having in the process, I was not able to gather my $100 donation due to all the difficulties I have faced but I want to do it, let see what happened the next to weeks, I will work for a miracle, actually registering into BYU was with that in mind. I will keep working now that I have the tools

Fanchasing

This lesson has been great because it gave me the chance to learned about a whole world that it was completely unknown for me, I learned about the franchises in Peru and in the world, I learned about the businesses that are using that format and the success they are having in the world also, I found out good business ideas and not so good ones having success anyway. Concerning my $100 business, I am learning that my dreams are not actually far for coming true I think the way to do it in a better way will help me a lot, the temperature in Lima is getting higher and it seems that autumn will not be a total reality in Lima summer will last longer so it will good for soda selling, the day after tomorrow I will buy a new car to sell more and save time from refilling the car which actually takes me two hours doing it. After learning about the franchises I am rethinking my business in teaching, because I found franchises doing business on teaching. I actually learned a lot, and let me thinking and replanting my ideas and perspectives of taking advantages on opportunities and business proposition and services to offer. I also learned the perspective about money reading the article "making a living and a life" I have always prayed to be self sufficient and help my family to satisfy its needs, to be honest I have never thought about the consequences that education and a good money administration can bring, that is probably I am still lack of both but one thing I keep in my heart for sure is to become capable of helping others

Finding great people

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin invites to leave and abandon sin to go to a higher ground, I liked many things I heard and read, some of them are: " As people heed the words of the prophets, the Lordblesses them
Most of the time how much of the Lord loves us, I may need to keep in mind that being faithful to my convenants to the Lord are a way of protection. I alson learned this week about the hiring process, according to Kawassaki: better hire someone who loves the product and we are willing to say hello the first time we see them. How important is to have and organized way to hire people, write a job description and make a team for hiring process, how important is to be respectful while the interviews take place, I also learned a lot by putting into a balance a talented person and a person with experience, the signs and gaps in a CV. The business Ideas of "Jet Blue are inspirational, how to work through experience and innovation to offer a better service where everybody around struggle of doing it. I liked the lessons of innovation I learned from it. Matt Stewart and Henry Stein examples of entrepreneurship, about the importance or the benefits of knowing that you belong to something bigger than you and on the other hand the importance of saying "no" and persevere on those things that are going to be productive and in benefit of the community, How to build something for the well being of others that later will inspire them to take care of the profits for us.

Management and Leadership

To get back to study, to study in itself when you have a family, your kids are small, your wife had a surgery and you were probably to have one, it is challenging but what would life be if it weren't for the challenges. I am trying to get back to the rhythm with my classes, I hope this week will be better, for my own sake. On the other the semester is about to finish, and I have to think in how to pay my fee. It is not much but for me and my family it became a huge giant.  But will all the things I am learning in this course I will fight back. I had to think on better ways to improve my income besides my soda selling, I do it whenever I have the chance but not to the rhythm I was getting used to but right now i have like $40 in Sodas to be sold this week. I think this week will be more relaxed I hope so, I want to believe it. I hope no to be doing homework on Sunday, at least during the week I want to do them before time. I fell many time from my chair, many night not sleeping to catch up again with all the unfinished assignments I had and I still have in my 5 courses and 12 credits I am taking. The result is this

this is my other small business besides my soda selling, it is part of my $100 business, after the possible surgery I may have and the appointments with the doctor this last week, not for my wife but now for me, this is the result and I feel extremely motivated to keep on going, It is not easy, it is killing me but I am 42 I will not be this late young forever, the winter is my life is coming where no soda I would be able to sell or business to run I have to hurry. That is why the lessons I learned this week are so valuable. It was kind of a wake up call and reassurance to my life experience to learn the difference about "Managers and Leaders"

1. What are the Saviors attributes that President Kimball describes?

Jesus knew who he was and why he was here in this planet, he operated from a base of fixed principles or truths, He walked and worked with those he was to serve, he kept himself virtuous, he was a listening leader, Jesus was a patient, pleading, loving leader, he was able to level with them, to be candid and forthright with them, Jesus saw sin as wrong but also was able to see sin as springing from deep and unmet needs on the part of the sinner, his leadership was selfless, he emphasized the importance of being discerning with regard to others, without seeking to control them, he had perspectives about problems and people, Jesus knew how to involve his disciples in the process of life, Jesus was not afraid to make demands of those he led, Jesus gave people truths and tasks that were matched to their capacity, Jesus taught us that we are accountable not only for our actions but also for our very thoughts, and he also taught us how important it is to use our time wisely.

 Pick one and describe how you would demonstrate as a leader in a business?

I will try to be like him. someday I may do it but I would probably will not be aware of it but the people around me.

I wanted to copy my answers to the question number 1 for what I learned as I mentioned before it was really valuable

I will someday on the other hand be emotionally healthy totally, sometimes in spite of our strength we get discouraged easily, Something that keeps me motivated is to know that I was allowed to survive a surgery in my very early years out of 10 hydrocephalus baby patients I survived, so life for me is a blessing, and opportunity. Someday I will know why.
