W04 Entrepreneurial Journal – How Will You Measure Your Life?

By Getzels De Los Santos

This week I learned a lot from the videos and readings. One of my favorite ideas came from the video Do What You Love. It helped me understand that when you do something you really enjoy, you will do it better. That made me think about my own career and future. I want to build a business, but I don’t want to choose something just because it makes money. I want to choose something I love, so I can give my best.

Another thing that helped me was the idea of the “three circles.” What are you good at? What do you love to do? And what can people pay you to do? That was simple, but powerful. I never thought about all three together before. I think I’m good at working with technology and solving problems, and I really enjoy that. Now I want to find the best way to use those skills in a job or a business that supports my family.

The last big idea was that success isn’t about working long hours. It’s about making smart choices. I used to feel guilty when I wasn’t always busy. But now I understand that what matters most is using my time well—making good decisions, not just working more. That really helped me feel more peace.

This week made me think more about what really matters in life. I want to succeed, but I also want to be present with my family, serve others, and live with purpose. I’m looking forward to learning more about how to build a life I love, step by step.

W10 Reflection – Dream Big Dreams

 This week, I learned a lot from the study materials about dreaming big and setting goals that matter to me. One of the things that really stayed with me is that it's okay to think big, even if the dream feels far away. I don’t have to be perfect or know everything right now. What’s important is to start, even if it’s small. One of the talks said we should dream with purpose, and that really hit me. I have always had ideas for the future, but sometimes I feel scared or unsure. This week I felt more confident. I saw that I can dream big, but I also need to be ready to work for it and stay strong during hard times. I also learned that our dreams should help others. It’s not just about money or success. It’s about making a difference and doing something good. That changed how I think. I want to build something that helps people, not just something that makes money. Another thing I liked was the idea that big dreams don’t have to happen fast. I can take small steps and learn as I go. T...

W09 Reflection: Disciple Leadership

This week’s study on disciple leadership helped me see how true leadership starts with who we are, not just what we do. I learned that a leader should lead by example, inspire others to reach higher, and stay anchored in values. One of the most powerful ideas was that a leader is also a servant—someone who lifts others, not someone who just gives orders. I also liked the reminder that we don’t need a title to lead. Leadership can be shown in small ways, like being dependable, honest, and kind. It encouraged me to look for ways I can lead in my everyday life, especially through my actions and the way I treat people. Going forward, I want to keep developing the character traits of a disciple-leader: humility, courage, and a sincere desire to help others succeed. I’m excited to apply this not only in future jobs but also in my family and community.

W11 Reflection: Attitude on Money

 This week, I learned that money isn't good or bad—it's what we do with it that matters. One part that stood out to me from Stephen W. Gibson’s talk was how he explained the "filters" we all have when it comes to seeing the world, including how we see money. Our family, culture, and beliefs shape the way we think. I really connected with that because I’ve seen how my own thinking about money comes from how I was raised. Something else that meant a lot to me was the idea that money has power, not just for personal comfort, but for doing good. Gibson shared the story of Jon Huntsman and how he gave to others even when he didn’t have a lot. That made me reflect on what kind of person I want to be. I don’t want to wait until I have "enough" money to help people. I want to build the habit now. Finally, I loved the list of six "rules" at the end of the talk. One that stuck with me is “Think about money and plan how you can become self-reliant.” I realize...
