WEEK 12 โ Starting and Growing My Business: Presenting My Business
As we conclude our journey in learning how to start and grow a business, we are truly grateful for the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and practical insights. One of the most meaningful lessons we learned is that as we allocate our income, we should always put the Lord first by faithfully paying our tithes. This principle reminds us that true success begins with faith and obedience.
Throughout this course, we realized that building a business is never easy. It requires courage, patience, and continuous learning. But with the right knowledge and guidance, we can take calculated risks while maintaining balance in our personal lives.
We are also grateful for our leaders who continually encourage us to learn, challenge us to grow, and support us every step of the way. We sincerely appreciate also the panel who took the time to listen to our business presentations. Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, insights, and constructive suggestions.
Beyond the lessons, weโre thankful for the friendships weโve built, the memories weโve shared, and the experiences that have helped us grow together. These are blessings that weโll carry with us long after this program.
โThe Lord has given us a welfare program. It is inspired. It applies to all Church members. A most important part of that plan is that we ourselvesโeach one of usโshall learn to become self-sustaining, that we accept the principle that we must look ahead, save a little, build up some reserves, live within our income, and make every effort to sustain ourselves in good times and bad.โ
โ Elder Mark E. Petersen, Blessings in Self-Reliance
As we move forward, we pray that we will continue to apply these principles, strengthen our faith, and build businesses that not only succeed but also bless the lives of others.
Grateful for this journey, the lessons learned, the leaders who guided us, the panel who shared their expertise, and the friendships weโve made. ๐ค
