lesson 9 - Finding Great People

I am continuing working in my $100.00 challenge. I am still working on my $ 100.00 challenge. I continue to place the ads on the OLX site to sell the second hand articles. This week I made two more sales.

  From the speech “Journey to Higher ground” by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin the quotes that stood out this week were:

“But those who journey to higher ground and keep the commandments of God “are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness.”^…” Those who journey to higher ground love the Lord with all their hearts. We see in their lives manifestations of that love. They seek their God in prayer and plead for His Holy Spirit. They humble themselves and open their hearts to the teachings of the prophets. They magnify their callings and seek to serve rather than be served. They stand as witnesses of God. They obey His commandments and grow strong in their testimony of the truth.

They also love Heavenly Father’s children, and their lives manifest that love. They care for their brothers and sisters. They nurture, serve, and sustain their spouses and children. In the spirit of love and kindness, they build up those around them. They give freely of their substance to others. They mourn with those that mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort.

This journey to higher ground is the pathway of discipleship to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a journey that will ultimately lead us to exaltation with our families in the presence of the Father and the Son. Consequently, our journey to higher ground must include the house of the Lord. As we come unto Christ and journey to higher ground, we will desire to spend more time in His temples, because the temples represent higher ground, sacred ground.”

From the Acton Hero about  Matt Stewart, Stewart diverged from a career in the legal profession. He started over 13 companies, 52 corporations, and 6 different industries all the country of United States. He sold business, had successes and failures along the way but the ones he failed were the one he tried to make money on it and the ones he succeeded, that have generated revenue for him were successful because they were focus on their mission.

It was when he lost his job while in college that he started his painting company. He started hiring paintings, managing paintings, selling to customers, and was in that time that he learned integrity, where he learned his value system changing his life.

One think that he pointed was a employee that was killed on the job, e apesar da luta interna, ele tirou do incidente uma lição e aproveitou para fazer melhorias na industria em que estavam inseridos.

His mission is to be the greatest professional learning experience that any of his team members ever have in their entire life. As he said “Entrepreneur is it a great way to leverage who you are, or who I am and turn it to something that other people can latch on to. To drive my personal values into my business values, into my employees. That is the power of entrepreneurship, and that it what caries to our success”.
