Week Six

I am so grateful that I have two business classes this semester.  They seem to be playing off of each other which increases my understanding and strengthens my testimony.  I was ask in my Bus 211 class to write a personal code of ethics.  I have a copy on my computer, I plan to print a copy for my journal and I want to post it to this blog.  My thought process is that if I put it in a number of places I will come across it more often and will be able to do an evaluation of how I am doing.

1.       To live my life in such a way that if the Savior was to visit me any given day I would be able to welcome Him unashamed.
2.        To enjoy people for who they are and not for what I want them to be.
3.        To listen to others and allow them to express their feelings even if those may be different than my own.
4.        To be honest and have integrity so that the gospel of Jesus Christ is evident in my life.
5.       To have the courage to face the brutal facts so that decisions can be based on reality.
6.       To never lose faith even when the brutal facts say I should.
7.        Enjoy each day of life, knowing that it is gift.
8.         Daily express love and appreciation to my husband, children, extended family and friends.
9.        To remember that happiness comes from learning, so I will commit to being a learner for eternity
10.      Appreciate the beauty that God has blessed me with and do all I can to protect it and share it with others.

    As I study about being an entrepreneur I feel that the lessons we receive will not only help

us achieve our business goals but we will have a foundation that is so very different

than what we see in so many businesses today.  This morning I was watching the 

new and I was very impressed with a company in North Caroline.  It is requiring unplugged

time for its employees so that they are able to have down time.  This is allowing their

employees to spend time with their families without the pressure of receiving work calls or 

emails.  I feel like this is a company that has the kind of focus that would be pleasing in 

the sight of the Lord.  They are remembering that it is not only about the 

bottom line but it is about caring for your employees and their families.  I think 

this will bless the lives of not only the employees

but the lives that they touch in their homes and in their communities.  It is my hope

that other companies will learn from and work to implement these kinds of benefits

into their company and it is my goal to do the same if I ever become a business owner.
