Week 6- So You Want to be an Entrepreneur?

I've been struggling.  I always seem to be struggling.  Its been weeks since I posted or thought about it.  Why do I struggle?  It's not that I'm not smart enough to do the work.  I am fully capable of doing my work.  Maybe that's what my problem is, I know I can do the work. So how do I overcome this problem of mine?  Try something new.  One of the readings was a talk by President N. Eldon Tanner in April 1975- "Success is Gauged by Self-Mastery".  In this talk President Tanner says

                    "those who fail to keep their goals in mind and fail to discipline themselves find 
                      that they are following detours and paths that lead to failure and destruction."

 I realized that I am not keeping my goals in mind.  Just like on a road trip... if I don't constantly put my destination into my navigation system than I will lose my way.  I won't ever get where I want to be. 

And I don't just do this with school work. I do this with every goal I "have"- fitness/health, work, social.  It all ends up the same.  I give up. Albert Einstein said it another way "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  I am insane. I need to change and do something different. 

Mastery discusses The Five Master Keys to mastery.  Key number 4 is Intentionality.  Masters visualize their goals.  They see themselves in the moment they accomplish their goals.  So for my goals I need to visualize myself in a cap and gown at graduation.  I need to see myself with a diploma in my hand.  I need to see myself having reached all the goals I have.  This should not just be pictures in my head but I need to physically see them and look at them every day.  If that means putting my head on others pictures so that I can visualize my goals than so be it. I'm not good at Photoshop so it'll be old school cut & paste.
