This has been a very busy week for me, both with school and
work, but a great week none-the-less. Of all the case studies we have read and
discussed over the past semester, I have to say I enjoyed this week’s reading
the most. We read “Randy Haykin: The Making of an Entrepreneur” (Harvard
Business School). I know the other people we have studied and read about are
real people, but Haykin really resonated with me. His honesty and his
directness helped me gain a deeper understanding of how I would like to proceed
on my journey. It may not be the journey of starting my own business, but I
feel I can take and use these things he discussed in all aspects of my life.
Haykin is a life-long learner, always seeking new opportunities to gain
knowledge and improve his standing. This falls right in line with the BYU-I
learning model. I also enjoyed the video clip of Stan Christensen’s “Avoid the
Wrong Job.” I have fallen into some of the trappings he discussed; staying with
a company I was miserable at because I felt it was the thing to do; I am
determined to be the best at what I do and often times become the expert; I try
to give others what I think they want. I am grateful for all the great
information we have received this week, and I look forward to putting it into
action in my life, both professionally and personally.
