Week Three: Honesty and Business Ethics

Case Study: Magdalena Yesil

This week we learned about case studies. We studied about the entrepreneurial spirit of Magdalena Yesil. She was quite perplexed as to the next step she should take. I think she should choose what she is comfortable with, so she has the freedom to move forward. Most of the posts on the discussion board had a similar thought process. 

What did I learn?

I already knew this, but people can be cruel when it comes to jobs and money. I cannot believe that someone would accuse another person of embezzling just because they got fired from a job. I watched the presenter in awe that he could brush off losing his job over an accusation. He had just bought a house within walking distance of the business. I guess that whole situation steamed me. 

What do I look forward to learning?

I look forward to learning more about myself. I had no idea what I would put down for my bucket list last week. I was shocked that I was able to come up with 50 things. I looked ahead to week four, and one of the questions in the first reading is: How will I stay out of jail? Wow! My answer is to stay honest and stay on the straight and narrow.

 Another thing in the introduction asks: Will I be happy in my career? I feel like this is a tough question to sort through. So, I'm going to my initial thoughts down on the subject now. I've noticed that when I begin a new job that eventually the newness wears off and then you have to work. I've also noticed in a maintained job, that you still have to work. I genuinely enjoy my business as a professional organizer. I wish that I was able to have more clients right now. I think that is part of it for me: I can measure my happiness in a job by how I help others feel about their spaces.
