$100 challenge

How I wish I had only 3 classes so I could have the time to have developed and worked this business more.  I am actually thinking of dabbling in it for fun for a couple of months and see what more I can do with it.  At this point I am glad it is done.  The PowerPoint presentation took some time but honestly I thought it would take tons more than it did.  Learned how to add voice to a power point, that is amazing, I will be using that in the future.

Things I have learned from the business

BIGGEST - have the time to start it.  If you don't have the time to start a new business than don't
Become organized from day one
Not sure in real life I want to deal with others junk
What I thought would go well did not go at all and what I thought would not sell sold.  I do not know the customer.

Learning this week

Loved the week.  Interesting enough I was home teaching last night with my husband.  The woman begin talking about this show called Sand box or something like that.  I have not seen it yet. But it is where people come out and pitch their ideas and the billionaires of the show decide what amount they will invest in the product.  My husband just saw a piece of the show last week at the gym.  She went on and on about different stories from the show.  I now need to watch it.  Then we all agreed that what we would like to see is not just the successes but did they invest in someone and it was a failure and what is there story?

Opened up my class this morning and it is all about 'FAILURE'.  I needed this class because I realize after taking my web class that I have a fear of failure.  I cannot stand to fail.  Do not know where he came from but it is real.  It is what drives me to do the best that I do.  So if I fail my web class I am going to call it an experiment.  I already know it is an experiment of what I am not going to go into for the future.  Had thoughts of making web pages part time at home.  Nope can't handle the stress of the classes.  I want work that is fun and enjoyable in my old age.

I love this list I found on the internet about rich people who have failed at some point in their life.

1. They accept failure and can recognize their own mistakes
2. They compartmentalize their emotions and they don't internalize bad feelings
3. They have a bias toward action responding aggressively to a challenge
4. They change their minds sometimes -- discard old thinking and reprogram a dream
5. They prepare for things to go wrong and rebounders are not necessarily optimists
6. They're comfortable with discomfort - they are willing to accept inconveniences as long as it leads them closer to an important goal
7. They're willing to wait -- overnight success is deceptively untrue
8. They have heroes - rebounders set and meet nigher standards when inspired by others
9. They have more than passion -- success requires drive too.

I need to post that list for the next two weeks and read it hourly.
