A Hero's Journey of Entrepreneurship
In A Hero's Journey, two principles stuck out to me and have been on my mind this week. The first is that all of us have a special mission on this earth. To know my mission, and entrepreneurial calling, I need both faith and courage. Through life experiences I have learned that sometimes the faith required means giving control over to the Lord. When I try to accomplish everything on my own and find my own path, I don't end up where I really want to be. When I pray daily for guidance and listen to the promptings that come, I end up in a much more rewarding and beautiful place. I also need courage. David O. McKay said, "The greatest need in the world today is faith in God and courage to do his will." If I want to find my entrepreneurial calling, I must align my will with God's plan for me.
The second principle is to learn to live a life of meaning. One of the best ways to do this is to find great role models and ask great questions. This week I had the opportunity to think about who I would want on my personal board of advisers. These are people I can trust to give me valuable guidance and direction. I realized my life is full of amazing people I love and trust. Some of the people on my board of advisers are family members and friends I can call in a moment's notice when I am seeking guidance and advice. Others are authors. I am an avid reader and am grateful for knowledge I have gained from good books. Currently I am reading Mastery by George Leonard. I'm learning to appreciate the plateaus in life and trust that learning and mastery will happen, as long as I stick with my goals. Others around the table of advisers are family members who have passed away. Their legacies provide a great deal of guidance as I make decisions that will help me live a life of meaning. My dad, for example, was incredibly hard working. When I work hard to accomplish a goal, I know he is proud. I am immensely grateful for the amazing influences in my life. I am excited to move forward in my personal goals, realizing the amazing support I have to help me along the way.
