Generally speaking, in this journal you should: a) chronicle the most important events, b) explain why the events chronicled are important, c) explain how they took place, d) who was involved, and d) when they took place.

• How well do I get along with different personalities?
• How good am I at making decisions?
• Do I have the physical and emotional stamina? Explain.
• How well do I plan and organize?
• How will my entrepreneurial efforts affect my family? (Skripak, 2016).

At least twelve of entries for the journal should be a response to the online modules shown in the course outline below. Specifically, students should provide an overview of something the learned from the module and how that information relates to their entrepreneurial project or interests.
