Week 8 - Overcoming Challenges

 I really enjoyed this week’s readings for class about overcoming challenges.

I think my biggest challenge in my business right now is time management and taking on more than I should at any given time. I am working on this daily. The next seven weeks are going to be crazy busy because I have three more classes than I normally do (which was not my choice) but I am going for it. The reason I have three more classes for this term than I usually do is that the new registration system kept kicking me out of the last half of this class if I tried to drop the other classes. The support people and I went back and forth for about a month, and I got fed up enough to just take the classes and get them over with. I know this will cause my current schedule to get even more chaotic. So, some things are going to need to be put on the back burner until after this next term is over. I received a comfort blessing for this issue and was told that I will be able to do it if I keep my end goal in mind of making my family history business the best it can be.

I think my biggest challenge in life in general right now is keeping to my very tight budget to be able to pay my debt down and eventually get out of debt. I only have about $30 wiggle room now. I hope that no emergencies come up in the next year or so, because in about a year I will have paid things down enough that I will have more wiggle room than before and I may be able to breathe more easily.

I think that best way for my friends and family to be able to help me is to give be a person to accountable to. Someone who will help me keep to my schedule and my budget.

It will all work out. It will just take time, sacrifice and self-discipline.
