Over this past year, I've shared 12 principles of Self Reliance that I learned while taking a course presented by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I invite you to check these out and see if they can help you succeed. I took the course with the intentions of having it help me grow my new and fledgling music business. Here is a quick summary of all the principles:
#1) Self reliance is a part of our spiritual salvation. Temporal matters and spiritual matters are the same in the eyes of God.
#2) Faith. No one succeeds unless they first believe they will ultimately succeed.
#3) Managing money. Hard work and saving money can help us get out of debt and prepare for the future.
#4) Obedience. As we exercise free will, we are usually better off following rules and advice from those who have gone before us.
#5) Use time wisely. Weekly and daily planning sessions can help you get the most out of your time in order to better achieve your goals.
#6) Perseverance. A positive attitude and a desire to push forward can help you achieve goals.
#7) Problem solving. Often, the best way to proceed is to first understand what the true problem is. [Bonus post: #7a -- The cop at the corner. An example of applying an expensive solution when a much simpler one exists.]
#8) Serving together. As people serve and work together, they can help each other achieve much more than they can on their own.
#9) Seek learning. Research and planning can help to formulate effective and achievable goals.
#10) Integrity. Honesty and keeping promises can help your reputation and avoid bad situations.
#11) Listening. Opening your ears and listening can help to accomplish tasks and strengthen relationships.
#12) Temple ordinances. Remembering what is most important in your life can help you maintain a proper perspective and with your decision making.
