YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE

People throughout my life have always told me about when you work hard, good things will come eventually. My parents basically live by this quote. Nothing really comes easy, for anyone! My parents work very hard to provide for my siblings and I to be able to attend private schools. I mean I have gone to private schools my entire life, but honestly, it is cheaper to attend a community college. I didn't really understand this up until a couple of days ago. I just became custom to the education I was provided.

ANOTHER thing that truly stuck out to me this past week was students participate in class are the ones benefiting from their individual businesses. I feel like I am not the only student to realize this about my peers. Learning is something that I believe has a lot to do with building character. The best students are the ones that aren't afraid to make a mistake. I would prefer make all my mistakes young so that when I get old and wise. I would already be ahead of the game.

PITCHED A CURVE BALL

When I pitched to the "bankers," I basically sent myself into anxiety mode. The "bankers" basically just told me that no one really cares about the scientific information behind the scrubs. If someone is into the scientific background, have a sheet at the Trade Show but do not include it into the 30 second pitch for the show!

"Hire people that believe what you believe" vs people that just want the paycheck. As we watched the TED talk on Wednesday, I remembered Jim King at IFH Group. Jim talked about his connections with his employees. Jims' philosophy is his employees make his company money, which also makes himself money.  If he was rude to his employees, the employees could start performing poorly in the workplace, on purpose. Jim communicates with his employees, rather than tooting his own horn and ignoring them. By communicating with his employees, Jim believes it will urge those men and women to work harder and not just for the paycheck.

Another quote that stood out to me during our TED talk was: "Your why should inspire other." Lately, I have been thinking a lot about my individual business. I will be gone most weekends during the winter and spring due to commitment, so I was wanting to get my individual business ideas calmed before the storm. Hearing this quote made me realize I want to do something different than I previously considered.  I want the why in my individual business to inspire others.
