Create a Life of Meaning

    I believe that the first person who is promoting the capacity to become an entrepreneur of our children, is myself as a father. I think that is Randy Pausch trying to say in his video. Most of the time can sound silly, but our children are learning from us. If I allow my son to discover the world, and I potential his ideas, more than trying to restrict what he is doing, probably in the future will be difficult for him to become an entrepreneur. Today I am living this time when my 3 years old son is painting the walls and the floor (for some reason he is just painting the wall and floor of his bedroom), but instead of telling him that this thing is bad, or he is doing something wrong, we're trying to guide his emotions and what he is doing. 

    Today, when I reflect about it, I felt that in some way I needed that guide. I know that I am not too old to learn to become an entrepreneur, but I think that there are some things that restrict me to think like an entrepreneur. My parents they tried to do the best they could, and probably the thing they did nobody say that they were wrong, however today I am experimenting those restrictions.

And for sure that dreaming is important. A man or woman without a dream is someone without a horizon. Our dream keeps us alive. 

I always dreamed with the possibility to build my own house. Today and after many years I am closer to achieve this dream. I saved money during a long time, and many times I thought to use that money to other “important thing”, however, something inside me always told me don’t give up, because every month I was closer and closer to see one of my dreams come true.

First step to become in Entrepreneur

This first week of class I was pondering about this concept, "Entrepreneur".  Before this week, when I was selecting the course, my first impression it was "during this semester I will learn how to start and run a business and become a successful entrepreneur. However, I learned that become an entrepreneur is not too easy, and even though require a lot of effort from my side, is a process, and it will require time, some fail, good achieve, hard time, a lot of time consuming, and most of them, a learning process. My first fail it was to know that this course is not going to teach me how to create a business and be successful. But I learned that I could become successful if I follow some guide and apply some tools that I will learn during the semester.

The second thing that I learned is the importance of keeping a journal. In a previous class I had to keep a journal, but I never knew why. In this journal I only wrote the things learned during the week, but I never ponder about what I was learning. Today, after reading the article "Your Entrepreneur's Journal", there were some interesting things that I learned. One of them it was that my journal is not a "masterpiece". I don't consider myself a good writer, and most of the time I think that my ideas are not important, or relevant, but is important to write about it, because I don't know if in the future one of those ideas could change my world and the others world.

So, this is my first goal for this semester, to keep my journal a live. That means that I must write in it more than just one time at week. This journal is more than for a grade, is for my future and there is no price or grade that compare it.

Reflection about Google Analytics

     Is amazing how many tools Google Analytics has. This week I spend a lot of time looking their different tools and trying to understand each one. For sure, is impossible in one week to could understand everything, but is a good point of start. Here, I can see all the aspect of my online business, because all things are together. With this tool, I am able to see aspects like gender, location, age, language, google ads, campaigns, landing pages, conversion, etc. All those tools provide a perfect view of how your online business is working, and after review those items, is easier to make the right corrections to obtain better results.
In summarizing I consider 5 things how Google Analytics will help us in our online business.
1. Known the users who enter your website and define your audience.
2. Analyze your traffic source and decide which social network to use.
3. Understand how your digital conversions are achieved.
4. Analyze campaign performance.
5. Make better decisions to increase the ROI of your e-commerce.
