This week has been an eye-opener. I have enjoyed reading the different scenarios and visiting the optional resources websites. I had no idea of the many web business ideas that are available! Reading the optional resources was a "going down a rabbit hole" experience. I would click on one website, which would recommend another, etc. I became excited about the many ways to run a web business, and my creative side wanted to experiment with ideas popping into my head.

Studying the case of Joe and his friends made me realize there are many complicated decisions to consider when beginning an online business. Evaluating factors such as time, start-up costs, demand, and competition must happen before I find the right idea. I already have a product I would like to make a website for. My husband and his best friend have started a laser engraving business. They sell their products in a local grocery store, by word-of-mouth, and at craft fairs. We want to have the option of selling their products online, which has brought me to this new adventure of taking Web Business Creation. I am excited to see where this journey will take us!

Living a life full

  9 October 2021 This has been a crazy week!   Finishing "Launching Leaders" and writing a book report has taken most of my time. However, I have had other assignments, seminary, appointments, a minor remodeling project and have been preparing to pick up my son at the airport this coming Monday as he finishes his mission. I can't believe I am finally completing my last assignment for the week!   I have been recommending “Launching Leaders” to my family and friends.   I love the book and will be revisiting the concepts I learned many times in the future.   It is going to be an invaluable resource for me moving forward in my life. I have talked to my husband about having three savings accounts, as Steven Hitz suggests in Chapter 8: Financial Fitness.   I'm hoping to implement that financial practice in our lives.   We already practice some concepts: paying a tithe, saving for a rainy day, and having a   savings account for unexpected expenses.   I like the idea of
