Winding down and winding up

The semester is winding down.  I’m glad.  I don’t like going to school.  At the halfway mark, I was wondering what I was doing.  But I plowed on and have almost completed this semester.  I thoroughly enjoyed my classes.  I have learned so much.  I’m actually surprised that many of questions about being an entrepreneur have been answered.  This has never happened before in my life.  That is one reason I gave up on my education several decades ago.  My questions weren’t being answered.  I know I probably should regret not finishing my degree decades ago, but I don’t.  My education was to be completed at this time.  I was looking for the educational model that fit me and I have found it through BYU-Idaho online. 


What I have learned this semester will not fit in a single blogpost, but what I learned of value this week for me what that I can close an experience and not feel like I failed.  I have a product idea.  I have a product launch idea.  I have a vague business plan.  And now, I feel I can go forward.  I only ask that I get back the money I venture on the product and I’m pretty sure I can do that.  While I do this process to get a product launched, I now know I can learn a lot and use it to launch my next big idea.  But, the product and myself may surprise me and we will not only launch but may have longevity.  Then, I will have another set of challenges to overcome.  Either way, I’m excited to give it a try.  There are stones in the path and dragons to overcome and despair to face, but with my newfound knowledge, I feel I can become the hero I’m meant to be.
