 Final Post  I have had a bunch of learning experiences this semester and have loved all of them so much. I have really enjoyed getting to learn more about entrepreneurship and just learning more about what it consists of and how I can apply those things into my learning experiences and my ideas of being an entrepreneur. This class has brought a lot of things to my attention especially how much work and dedication goes into building a business. It has opened my eyes on things like making sure I am keeping a good balance between work life and personal life, so for all of those examples and things like that it has been really good for me to learn so that I know it for the future.

As we recognize the blessings and give thanks for them then God will bless us with even more because then he sees we are willing to open them with open arms and recognize where they are coming from. President Monson also shows other areas where we should express gratitude and of cou...

In Charles Handy's “What’s a Business For?” he talks about how important honesty and integrity are for a good economy. Handy says that trust is the foundation of any market and when companies lie or hide the truth they destroy that trust making the economy unstable. Without integrity people lose confidence in businesses, making markets unreliable and causing the economy to struggle. Being virtuous and honest isn't just a nice idea it's necessary to keep the economy working well. Handy also criticizes the current way businesses focus mainly on making profits for shareholders. He believes that the true purpose of business is not just to make money but to use those profits to create value for society. This means businesses should aim to help employees, customers, and the community, not just focus on short-term gains for shareholders. According to Handy profit is just a means to an end not the end itself. To fix these problems Handy suggests two main solutions. First he thinks ...
