Building a Business

I've always had an entrepreneurial mindset and given the state of our economy and the lack of job opportunities it seems like the best route for anyone to take. I have a love and passion for planning social events.  My plan is to run my own successful business so that I can work my own schedule and be home with my family, however I also enjoy writing and would love to work for a magazine while trying to build my business. The thing that I love the most, which both of these dreams entail, is working with people. I love to help and learn about different people in any way that I can. When I came home for the 7 week break from BYU-Idaho, my 21 year old brother told me about a business that he was trying to build and he even had a mentor. He invited me to a meeting in order to give me an opportunity to learn more about it. When he first told me about it I thought that it sounded ridiculous. I thought maybe he had been sucked into a scam, but the more I listened and the more research I began to do about World Wide Dream Builders (WWDB) the more I realized that this business is really about building your own business and helping other people to build theirs. What really inspired me to want to build my own business was a book titled Rich Dad Poor Dad: The Business of the 21st Century. It is written by Robert T. Kiyosaki, a multimillionaire investor, business owner, educator, and speaker. In this book he talks about how given this economic time it is the best time to build your own business, but that it takes a lot of time and effort. Building a business happens over a period of time and takes a lot of persistence and self motivation. A couple things that Kiyosaki and WWDB both teach is that building a business is about reaching out to other people and helping them to build their own business, which in turn helps you to build yours. My plan is to start building a business with WWDB and working with the different companies that they associate with, such as Amway, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble etc. before I graduate this next semester. I know that this will take some time and I plan to work in journalism until this business and my event planning business can take off. I am really excited about this and I'm going to try this plan out for the next five years to see what will happen with it.
