Week 11

Thanksgiving is here! 

            What do we get to learn about on this week of thanksgiving? Learning to have a balanced life. IN the readings and videos I watched family was often brought into the picture, it is hard on a family to have a parent that works so hard all the time. Entrepreneurship is not a job that you come home from in the evenings it comes with you, it is a part of who you are and everything you do. This is why it can be hard on a family. Balancing between work and relationships is a daily decision and a constant journey or as one of the article states; “it is a constant state of being.”

            Another article talks about how life is about finding happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment. The most important of the three is fulfillment, because the other two will simply fall into place after that. I think that is a beautiful way to look at life not that your trying to find happiness but that you are already happy, not that your trying to find satisfaction but that you have the choice to be satisfied, instead you are only seeking to be fulfilled and the way to become fulfilled is to serve other people. Being an entrepreneur is about finding a need in the world and filling it, it is about making the lives of others better, the very lifestyle of an entrepreneur begs to be about fulfillments.

            Remember to be have gratitude in all things for that is “one of the most powerful steps in finding fulfillment.” That is why we celebrate thanksgiving.
