Personal Statement : My Own Company

‘Herewith appear to be the most pressing matters; one, infective and inexperienced entrepreneurial leadership. Two, the dialectic nature between front of house and back of house, and three, a lack of general training motivation and direction in original concept.’

With given a choice of what to write this paper, I could not get past the subtle nature of who we are as God’s creations. This fundamental truth of our identity is simplified with the truth of our identity in Jesus. We are created in God’s image with a purpose here on earth to display all of God’s greatness, His beauty, and to reveal all of His character aspects. Best of all, we are completely dependent on God. This new enlightenment of my identity in Christ as God’s creation will allow me to help people around the world become one with Christ by revealing the truth of their identity.

As stated in my personal statement, I was intuitively drawn to law as a system that requires a high level of logical and analytical skills, but my motive lies deeper in the belief that law as a powerful social factor can exert palpable impacts on the society. Throughout the course of my study, I have developed a strong interest in biotechnology and the health industry; it is my hope to pursue a legal education that will enable me to participate in and even bring changes to their regulatory systems.

Owning your own business is just about every person dream. To be one’s own boss and have the control, to make the money, the have the power, but to be able to make a positive impact one not only the community but individuals is a great way to be a truly successful businessman. To know that you have helped your employees to succeed and to make a great impact in them a person that is the kind of boss I want to be.

I am interested in business not only because of exposure to career fields my family has chosen (marketing,sales,accounting) but in addition to how fundamentally business has stayed the same for centuries. While technology is always changing, balance sheet, profit and loss statements have been around for centuries. Due to this, I see an opportunity to learn skills from the Business Magnet program that will not become obsolete but rather create building blocks that I can build off of when I attend post secondary schooling. While in the meantime, I can use these skills in my many business ventures that I currently partake in.

I am thrilled to be a USF student for the next four years and want to make the most of my experience. One way I can do that is by living in the Honors LLC, as it is a place that fosters the development of students in both a personal and academic manner.

Do you ever think to yourself, “I really wish I could be my own boss.”? I have thought about that goal for years now, trying to figure out what it is I need to do to accomplish it. After working in restaurants for the past four years of my life, I have always seen myself owning my own. I have seen the proper ways of how to manage a successful restaurant, and I have also seen the ways to completely run a restaurant into the ground. I have seen everything from improper communication, to poor teamwork and I strive to be on the opposite end of those aspects.

In this season of my life, I find myself residing in the most opportune time to reflect on my managerial competencies, as my surrounding environment in which I now lead and manage, has taken a dramatic shift. The eight roles identified by the Competing Values Framework that are essential for effective management, do not make the smoothest transition from a multi until store manager in a retail environment, to a Director of Children’s Ministry in a religious institution. The competencies in which I excelled in Corporate America, I find are not the strengths I need to tap into to find success in my new role. Therefore, in order to achieve the vision of what comparable success is in my new role, I need to build on my competencies that display weakness in regards to the Competing Values Framework that will be the defining factor of my success or failure.

A personal mission statement is a philosophy or creed that one plans to follow in daily life. It is usually designed with positivity, purpose, and with personal goals for every aspect of life such as career, finances, etc. It also focuses on personality traits that one would like to possess and the accomplishments that one wants to achieve, both short-term and long term. It also houses the individuality of the person writing it. Every person writing a personal mission statement is will produce a different statement.
