Week 4

$100 challenge - this week we turned in a one page business plan on the business that our group is starting, and our own "big idea". As a group we decided that we would switch to making hand warmers rather than flipping or a talent show. I think that this will be a better choice

We also focused on a talk by Elder Hales called "Provident Providers". This was a great talk, Elder Hales focused on going into debt, and how there are certain things that going into debt for can be good. Things like buying a house, or going to school, and other things that will truly help you accomplish the purposes of God. It also talks about how debt is a form of bondage, and that it may start out small, but it can get out of hand very quickly. He also talks about how he wanted to get his wife a coat, and she said that she didn't need it, and so she didn't want it. He also went on to say that four of the most caring words that can be spoken are "we can't afford it".

Next we got the opportunity to go to a business summit, and write a one page paper on the things we learned. This was a good experience, there were a lot of things addressed in that summit that I haven't thought about before. Like "what is success?" It was proposed that success is different for everyone, and that to put it in one single thing would make it difficult for everyone to achieve it. For him success was being in the right place at the right time, and learning from every situation. I look at that and to me that makes sense, successful people that I know don't make all the money, and they don't have all the flashy things, they know where they are going, and they are finding success wherever they go.
