What really stood out to me after reading and watching the week 9  articles and the videos is adherence to principles or being obedient to the instructions given by our leaders whether in business or in the gospel of Jesus Christ. To qoute from Joseph B. Wirthlin’s Journey to Higher Ground, he says “on December 26, 2004, a powerful earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia, creating a deadly tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people. It was a terrible tragedy. In one day, millions of lives were forever changed. But there was one group of people who, although their village was destroyed, did not suffer a single casualty”. Due to the leader’s persistence and the adherence of their people to the instructions given they were saved.

In the article “What To Do When Customers Only Care About Price” I also noticed that if we adhere to principles we will improve on our performances. In the article, it says and I quote “I am, however, suggesting that if you adhere to these principles, that you’ll improve your ability to deliver results for your customers at an improved profit margin”. And the steps were given one after the other.

Adherence to principles is important to each and every one of us if we are to improve on our performances. Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin said “as people heed the words of the prophets, the Lord blesses them. When they disregard His word, however, distress and suffering often follow” As entrepreneurs we must conform to the principles governing entrepreneurship and made sure the right things are done as we do that prosperity await us.

On our $100.00 project we gave ourselves one week break due to fatigue on the part of all of us and took the advantage of reflecting on so far what we have done and where we have gotten to.
