“This course so far is the best investment I have made. Just going through all the material in the first unit made me think why I’ve started my business in the first place, why I want to keep going and what changes I need to make to be successful. It’s only been a week, I can’t wait to learn more tomorrow and in the weeks to come. That is my Ah-Ha Moment of the Week!

I had moments of inspiration and moments of panic this week—-mostly inspiration, because I realized that a business model leading to a business plan will be the major step I need to make my business really work. I’ve been “stuck” for so many years, puttering along in what I do. But this will be a game-changer for me and I’m pretty excited about it.

My “Ah-Ha” moments have concentrated around the work of concretizing and verbalizing my personal strengths, values, and traits; and elucidating the reasons why I want to start my business. Powerful stuff. The assignment makes it easy to see where clarity and thinking is still required on the front end of an idea and where things are already strong.

I’ve been reading The E-Myth in tandem with my course reading this week and the combination has highlighted the fact for me that I do not want to be a “technician” my entire life. And while I realize that doesn’t mean that I should become an entrepreneur, I know that it is what I want to do, and that doing anything else would not be fulfilling. Discovering how to get to business ownership is why I am taking this course because I can’t do it on my own.
