E2 Week 7 Traction Journal

What are you going to take away from Sawyer’s presentation on budgeting? What resonated with you?

I really enjoyed how much information sawyer provided us with on Monday. I also really appreciated how open she was with us about how much she is making and how it does take most businesses a bit to get out of the red after starting. I also liked that she provided us with examples and ways to develop a personal budget as well as a budget for a business. All the different revenue models definitely set in for me and it was even easier to internalize them since we had a Kahoot about them after. I liked that we were able to ask a lot of questions and basically have class discussions about how to legally be certified as a business. I do wish we were able to hear a bit more on Meg’s personal journey in legally certifying her business though.

What was your favorite part of the E4 shift and share? What do you think you will carry along with you from these presentations?

Unfortunately, due to a messed-up ankle, I was unable to attend Bryan’s share of the shift in share but I did really enjoy Megan and Karl’s as well as Adams. I enjoyed it when we got to meditate in a room, but I was surprised to hear about all the possible ways to meditate. Personally, I am used to just sitting silently with closed eyes and focusing on different aspects of the present moment, but I do see now how different methods can be applied. Adam’s presentation I thought was pretty awesome. It was cool to watch as he walked us through everything on the laptop and I found his commentary to be quite entertaining as well. It almost reminded me of a how-to youtube video or something. Who knows, maybe Adam could start up a youtube channel teaching magic one day. I also really took away a lot of info and now a free Canva pro account from his presentation which was pretty awesome. I will most likely use the tools he demoed for us in class now that I have been introduced to them.

How are you feeling wrapping up Change Leadership? Any new sparks or ideas?

Honestly, I have been struggling through the week and am a little behind on change leadership. However, I have been thinking about it and I think I am coming up with some sparks that will make this project really worthwhile for me. I have already conducted one interview though but am a bit concerned if I should use it or not since I did not fully read the Change Leadership prompt prior to the interview. However, the interview I did conduct was very useful and inspirational which would probably serve well in this project.

    Hey Gabe! I agree, Aidan’s Shift & Share presentation was really useful and had a personable twist to it. And Meg//Karl’s mindfulness Shift & Share really opened the possibilities regarding the forms which meditation can take. During our self guided meditation I personally used the Wim Hof breathing technique, which was the ability to take you into very deep meditation, and I was reminded of the power of this simple breathing technique. Seems like everyone had enjoyable shift and share experiences, my apologies that my nature walk excluded you for mobility reasons! Cheers.

    Hey Gabe!

    I totally agree the presentations were very cool to see especially sawyers. I feel like her presentation was what I was looking for in this class the entire quarter. It was also interesting learning about the different technological aspects of both website and app design. I had never heard any of that before and it was enlightening.
