" I don't dream at night, I dream all day; I dream for living."
                                                  Steven Spielberg

So much about starting a business or wanting to be successful depends on how hard you want to work for your dream. I heard people talk about what could have been and then I have heard people that say what should have been. I enjoy studying and being around people that don't talk about the missed opportunities of the past but talk about all the risks they took and everything they learned from their failures and success.
We learned about the steps it takes to achieve your goals and I never really thought about writing out why goals for my career and what I want to achieve. It is important to have a plan or a diagram of what you want to achieve and the dreams you want to reach. Make sure each and everyday that you are working towards your dream that the jobs you have are stepping stones to your dream job or business you have always wanted to start.
I believe in dreaming and I am only 35 years old I have not achieved my dream yet but after this weeks lesson I am making changes so that I can. I have enjoyed the lessons I have learned so far from failures and I am changing a few of my stepping stones to get closer to my dreams.

Who knew I would be learning this?

At the start of every new semester I find myself asking how did I get here? I started at BYU-I pathways program because I wanted to finish my degree, I wanted to show that I could finish something and make my wife and Son proud. After the first year I had no idea what I wanted to major in so I choose the easy way and went for a Family History degree or certificate. At the end of the first semester of that I found it boring and not very challenging so I prayed. Then I prayed some more and fasted and prayed more. Suddenly when I was registering for classes I started reading over the business courses and said why not it would be a challenge. I have loved the subject ever since then and find it fascinating and hard and well worth my time.
Elder David A. Bednar said about an education at BYU-Idaho "College is not just an experience to endure and “get through” with the false expectation that somehow, someway we will magically be different on the day we graduate.  Rather, a college experience is a period of development in one’s life to be prized and prospered.  Indeed, simply settling for “getting  
through” college is like buying an expensive car that has no engine.  The car may look very good from the outside, but inside the real power is missing.”
I am excited to learn as much as possible about business and how to create my own or make someone else business better. I am excited to add value to myself that others can see and that my Son can look up to years from now with awe and wonder. I know the road will be difficult it all ready is because I am a working family man who is 25 years of age and still has no career. Only a history of dead end sales jobs as my experience.

I believe in what Jeff Sandefer said “Choosing the life of an entrepreneurial hero begins with a paradox: you have to dream big but start with small steps.” no matter how difficult this path gets I will continue to push forward step by small step until I have reached my goal. I will en set a new goal and begin the process again step by small step.
