May 5^th 2018

            It’s the end of the 2^nd week of my 3^rd semester in college. I’m 18 years old and a sophomore at BYUI, which seems absolutely crazy to me. I’m already on the path I’ve always wanted to be on and living life they way I think I’m supposed to. I’m taking an online business class this semester and am supposed to make a business plan for a small $100 challenge to be done this semester as well as a big dream business plan. I’m pretty sure I already know what I want to do with for both. Though they may change a little.

            For my $100 challenge I would like to use an idea inspired by one of my Psych professors. The product will be called Lucifers’ Latches. Their use will be to uphold the honor code in allowing students to have a removable back strap for their flip flops and Jesus sandals. It solves the issue of students wearing footwear that is against the honor code but also allows students to wear the shoes they want.

            Anyway, it’s still in the brainstorming state. We shall see where it goes. This journal is a place where I will be recording my progress on this project and my entrepreneurial journey in general. I will be writing about the things that I learn this semester and the thoughts and inspirations I have that apply to becoming a successful entrepreneur.

            On that note, one thing that I’ve been thinking about all week came from a business class assignment. I had to create something of a bucket list. After making this bucket list I was listening to a song that said, “When was the last time you did something for the first time?” As I thought about my bucket list and what things I have done of late for the first time I decided to make a new list, a “Never Have I Ever…” list. I want to live so that I do the things I want not just what is expected or comfortable. This semester I hope to do things that I’ve never done and reach a new level of growth.

            Everyday do something you’ve never done, or something that pushes your limits. Every year go some place you’ve never been. You’ll be amazed when you begin to think of it of all the things you’ve never done. Both in the big and the small things. Life is to short to live a monotonous life full of the boring and routine. Live with passion and do things with all the excitement of your being. Make it a point to say heck yes to the things you want and Hell no to the things that bring no passion. This is how I’m going to live.
