This week was a very busy, it was hard to stay on
top of everything. It however is always nice to read and watch the assigned
material each week. It is inspiring and helps me feel hopeful that one day, I
could create a business that I love, and that is okay. Not just start a
business because I think it will be successful.
In this weeks chapters of The Ministry of Business,
I loved the section in chapter 9, Be the Unseen Difference. We truly never know
when we are going to be able to have an positive effect on an individuals life
and when we actually but just a little bit of effort, we can hopefully help many.
For him to enjoy a book and know that one day down the road it could help
another, is just that little bit of effort to help many many different people.
There have been times in my life where I can remember being inspired or touched
by someones little bit of effort of kindness. It is the simple, little things
that can have the biggest impact on us.
1 If you pursue your
calling with discipline, intentionality, and the help of fellow travelers, what
are the chances that your worst case scenario will really happen?
If I were
to pursue mu calling with discipline, intentionality, and help of
others, I believe that the chances of my worst case scenario really
happening is the same. Nothing is going to be a for sure deal. With the
help of others, I would always be grateful and appreciate them and know
that their contributions will keep me one more step away from the worst
case scenario. With strict discipline and intentionality I know
that the chances are better and will help me reach goals, however it is never a
for sure deal.
2 As you look at your list
of fears, what themes emerge? What is at the core of what you really fear?
Financial ruin? The judgment or disapproval of others? Physical harm?
Endangering the ones you love? Embarrassment?
I think all of
those, financial ruin, judgment and disapproval, embarrassment
and a little bit endangering love ones. The financial lose would be
hard to swallow and hard to maybe even not feel guilty on a daily
basis. Judgment and disapproval really shouldn't have anything to do
with it, however it really is a fear of mine and worry how I would deal
with this. Embarrassment it tough for me and I hate to have to "eat
crow", unfortunately I can be prideful.
The only reason I would
say endangering loved ones would not necessary mean them physical
harm but perhaps emotional.
What
is the risk of taking no action – not following your calling? How do you plan
to deal with fear when it pops up on your entrepreneurial journey?
The
risk of taking no action is feeling the way I have felt the past 14
year since I graduated high school. That I am not living up to my full
potential.
Dealing with fear is interesting, because it can either
crush you or motivate you. I hope that I will be able to use the fear as a motivator,
not a disabler.
