Journal Entry Lesson 8

This week I learned about leadership. Some of the things that I would like to remember are the qualities of a true leader. A leader is there with the people he leads to inspire them, show the way, and help them grow. I read the article ‘’Leaders toManagers: The Fatal Shift’’ by Hugh Nibley that I had read a few years ago during my mission. I have read many of Hugh Nibley’s articles and I find them very interesting, however I noticed how Nibley doesn’t seem to be very fond of business majors and thinks that business owners live off other people’s work. I don’t agree with that; I believe that entrepreneurship is an essential factor of production in economics along with labor, land, and capital. Somebody needs to be capable of taking risks, having a vision, and organizing the other factors of production, and it must not be the state in my opinion. I do agree with Nibley’s vision of how a leader should be and I wish to emulate it.


I have encountered more difficulties with my $100 challenge. Some of the extra ingredients don’t cost exactly what I thought and I’m having trouble finding enough clients to match my estimates. I am trying to focus only on what works, or at least what has less issues and more margin! Talking to the people is also a challenge for me that I’m trying to overcome.
