Entrepreneur Journal Entry #11 | 6/28/21 | Mecina Juhasz

 In honor of the upcoming holiday, I decided to write on the importance of freedom in order to enjoy entrepreneurial pursuits. When The United States of America was founded, the Constitution allowed certain freedoms that were difficult to find or nonexistent elsewhere. As one of my favorite books, The Making of America by Cleon Skousen explains, Americans have the freedom to try,  the freedom to buy, the freedom to sell, and the freedom to fail. Without these opportunities, Entrepreneurship would not exist, and neither would America's economy as we know it. All of the worlds progress in innovation, technology and so forth from the last two hundred years wouldn't be possible. America was founded with an entrepreneurial spirit and it is the sole reason we enjoy the world that we do. I'm in awe just thinking about it. It is a shame that more Americans don't realize just how blessed they are and how much potential they have that they waste. 

Things I have learned: I have learned to love and respect this country, for what it is an also what it has been and what it could be. Through the providence of God, many brave men and women were able to give up their life for a cause that would allow billions to live a higher and better lifestyle than was every possible in history. 

Things I am still learning: I'm still learning the specific laws and regulations that I have to navigate as I'm looking at entrepreneuring and starting a business. I'm still learning how to be an effective leader and how to take risks. I am waiting for opportunities to open up so I can begin my journey of being an entrepreneur.
