 This week we were asked to do a book report on one of the books I decided to do mine on Robert Greene's Mastery. Robert Greene's Mastery is a step-by-step guide to learning anything. Mastery offers ideas that can be used straight away in business success. It begins from the apprentice stage, where one goes deep into learning, learns from masters in the business in order to understand, and takes guidance from masters. The initial stage lays the groundwork of basic things in the topic nicely. Practice is what sharpens the your craft by ongoing fine-tuning and refinement. Hard work, thought over one's errors and failures are essential in the long run for success. Once one masters the basics, the students move on to the creativity-activity stage, in which they move away from copying towards their own creation. Success in business is based on innovation, not copying. Social intelligence is yet another aspect in which one must comprehend people's behavior, trends in the mark...

 For this weeks topic there was a focus on entrepreneurship, self-mastery, and personal values. One of the big takeaways  from Success Is Gauged by Self-Mastery is that discipline is one of the biggest foundations that we need in order to succeed. In order to be an entrepreneur you must develop good self control and be able to navigate challenges when owning a business. Without being able to master your own abilities and taking the time to have ethical decision making will lead you to having long-term success in the business world.  In So You Want to Be an Entrepreneur? it emphasizes that you don't just need to have good ideas but also have the right mindset. Successful entrepreneurs are able to understand that there are risks in business and you need to be resilient in order to combat this insecurity that many entrepreneurs fail to see. Although passion can drive the business forward it takes strategy, adaptability, and continuous learning in order to have long term succ...

 For the one of the assignment this week we were asked to create a personal board that would be advising my personal life decisions. The people that I ended up choosing were Warren Buffet, Elon Musk, Ben Franklin, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Jesus Christ. Each of these people have great life lessons to pick out  from. From Kobe Bryant's never give up mentality, to Elon Musk's ability to think outside the box. The last one I did end up having a hard time choosing but I believe Michael Jordan was a good choice. Despite his life being similar to Kobe Bryant's it's just so hard to leave an imprint on not only just a sport but the entire world. Leaving a lasting imprint on the world is hard but I believe that Michael Jordan was able to do this because of his skill and the decisions he made at a young age in order to better himself.  The other assignments were more essay based those being an actual essay paper and one as a discussion. For the discussi...

 This week we did a lot of writing for our assignments. In one of them, we were asked to go over our fears, and at the end, it stated to answer these questions in our journal. 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 a calling with discipline and to help out others the chances of having a worst-case scenario happening would be very low. With taking time and with thoughtful planning I will be able to be financially prepared and reduce the risk of total failure. When setbacks in my life happen it will likely be something temporary rather than it being detrimental in the long run.  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? The main concepts that...
