Financial advisory

This blog is very short and sweet. Today, I was very excited to find out that I would be able to attend a financing class starting this upcoming Sunday. I think that this will come in handy when trying to balance finances when running a business and it's also FREE! Ha! One on one advising will definitely be beneficial. I get to ask questions that I would rarely get to ask! I'll be posting what I learned in the near future!

Inspirational quote

I have to be honest. It is definitely my deepest desire to own and have a small business, but also one of my deepest fears is failing, or messing up. I developed that fear after many mistakes in life. Sometimes the desire of actually owning a business scares me. What if i don't make enough money initially? What if noone is interested in my product. But then I had to stop and realize that if I'm not interested in my own product no one else will be. And also had to realize that it's okay to make mistakes. Making mistakes is the basis for all kinds of learning and success. I ran across a quote that Mark Zuckerburg said in an interview concerning mistakes:

 "We used to write this down by saying, 'move fast and break things.' And the idea was, unless you are breaking some stuff you are not moving fast enough.

"I think there's probably something in that for other entrepreneurs to learn which is that making mistakes is okay. At the end of the day, the goal of building something is to build something, not to not make mistakes."

His business, which is Facebook, i'm sure took a lot of trial and error runs. But the business of Facebook is extremely successful. I'll definitely be keeping that quote in mind. Especially the latter portion of the statement.

Passion

This week I really had to learn that it is very important to be passionate about what I want to do.
Often times I have alot in my mind that I want to execute, but I realize that it is probably the most wise to pitch the idea of the one that has my heart.

I would like to become an occasional business owner. I learned that this week as well. Something that I would do on the side, just because I love it, but definitely not something that I would become habitual about.

New Entreprenuership

I've never done anything like this before, but I see a lot of things that I could improve. Specifically in the music arena and with children. That would be my ideal market. I didn't think that I would be able to come up with an ideal plan, but after reading, the nervousness and anxiety has subsided. I am looking forward to building something that motivates and develops the future generation.
