As a small business owner for 10 years, I have felt the excitement and freedom of owning my own business. I opened my preschool Grasshopper Garden Preschool 10 years ago and it has been full ever since, usually with a waiting list. It has been the perfect, part-time business for a busy mom with four kids. I love calling myself a business owner but have so much to learn to build my business and better prepare myself for a business career on a larger scale. This weeks readings excited me...and overwhelmed me. There is so much to learn, so many ways to build what I have already begun or so many new ventures to try. I was impressed with the talk by Elder Bednar about doing our best, being diligent in ALL areas. I felt like this was a challenge for me last year in Pathways. I took the easy road on most assignments. I did the bare minimum that was expected of me. Since my grades were awesome, I figured this was enough. Not anymore. My goal this semester is to do each assignment WELL. I want to walk away from this semester having gained the knowledge and confidence that this degree is the right path for me. I need to put forth 100% to make this decision. How can I track this goal? Last year, we learned about S.M.A.R.T. goals. I think this blog will be a great place to report to myself each week if my efforts are full or half-hearted. I think measuring the time put in each week will be a good way to track my efforts. I think it I honestly work my hardest and do my best I will be giving my whole soul as an offering unto him, and not just part of me.
