Week 5

During this week, I read “Success Is Gauged by Self-Mastery”, by N. Eldon Tanner, and I learned two important things.

The first thing that I learned is that perseverance leads to success. The other thing that I learned is that obeying the 100% of the commandments of God is easier.

Also, participating in the discussion board of this week, I learned that the moment to make decisions is today. When the difficulties come, we must to have a previous decision and that must to be to obey the 100% of the commandments of God.

Other thing that I learned is that time must to be balanced to begin and grow a business and to spend time with the family. To begin a business requires time. So, the rules of when to do the things of the job and when to be with the family will make that we be able to balance our time.

Also, I learned that become an entrepreneur is related with planning time for the next 20 or 30 years. A business isn't something that is built and grows in few years. This is a career that takes many years. So, to begin a business, I need a plan for the future, for the next 20, 30, and 40 years, at least, balancing the time for the career and the time spent with my family.

Lastly, I learned a very valuable insight. When I work, I must to serve to God principally. I must to serve to God, doing what I was called in the Church. My time is the time of the Lord. So, when He called me to serve Him, is because I need to serve Him now. This part was very clear and the next time that I can, I will share my testimony about serving to God, and balancing time for my family and my career.
