I have begun classes through BYU-I online. I have chosen to do Family History as my minor, but will probably pursue Entrepreneurship and/or Social Media/Communications as certificates.
This week through the Entrepreneurship readings, I'm a little excited and a little apprehensive about this course. I think it will help me define my future focus in my life and give me tools to move forward. I also think this course will help me mentor my children as they move forward in their lives as well.
The question that came to my mind this week, as I was pondering what I was learning and from some of my own personal experiences, is what do you do after you have accomplished your goal? I'm really hoping this question will be answered in this course. There are some goals that are ongoing or perhaps we know what we will do after the goal is accomplished, such as having the goal to return to live with Heavenly Father. The Plan of Salvation teaches us what will be ongoing. But in the case of accomplishing my weight goal, what do I do after that? I know (and hope) to maintain that goal, but maintenance seems anti-climatic after that. Another aspect I've seen at the completion of a goal is starting a business. In the research I've done for my passion of convertible clothing, I've noted a lot of businesses get in and then get out (or they fall out). I've talked a little bit about this with my brother, Joe, and he told me that you need to have your business ready to sell. I was a little reluctant to accept his statement, but then as I've "wondered" through these small business, I begin to see what he means.
