MCOM Week 6

 Wow this semester is going by so quick! I can hardly believe that next week is the 7th week of the semester! We are almost half way done. Time has been flying. I think that is because I have been keeping myself busy and being intentional with my time. Some people say "Oh I did this just cuz I didn't know what to do to keep my self busy". I always nod along with people when they say this, but really in the back of my mind I am thinking "What in the world! Some days I wish that I could have even just a free extra hour to get done all my hopes, dreams, aspirations, and to do's". I've thought a great deal about balance and how I can have better rhythm in my life. I love a quote that I say that said "I can't I don't have enough time" is the biggest lie you could tell yourself. So I have tried to take this to heart. I plan out my daily schedule and constantly think about the different priorities I have on my wheel of life. A few of those include spiritual, educational, social, physical, and financial. It is hard to give equal or "sufficient" time to all of those but when I get to address all five points of that wheel in a given day or week, I feel content. 

Working for Fulfillment MCOM Week 5

    Recently one of the places I have been spending a lot of my time at is Kiln. During the fall last semester, I thought about how I could better prep myself for the Marketing Business Program. I was thinking about my family members and which ones of them had some cool connections. While pondering, my second cousin Brighton came to mind. He works for a company called Kiln. I called him and asked if I could pick his brain for a second about internship opportunities. He invited me to come on to Lehi and get to know the company. During that visit, I learned so much and got to meet many members of the team. We ended the visit with a small interview on the couch and he offered me the position to be a Marketing Intern. We talked about the ways that we as a company could better tell the story of Kiln. I had a few ideas and said that I would definitely be happy to help with that. I filled out some paperwork then started Jan 3rd! I work there on Mondays & Wednesdays and it has been a super neat experience. I have had many opportunities to learn and grow. More often than not, I am assigned tasks that I have no idea how to do. Sometimes it is overwhelming because I want to do well, but I have gotten good at using my resources and simple looking things up. 

    One of the exciting tasks that they had me plan recently was to organize a photo shoot of the Park City location. I was in charge of finding someone who would be in our price range and also have the right style.  I ended up asking my friend Demi who is studying photography at BYU if she would shoot for us. She said yes, so we scheduled a time and then drove up to the location together. At the office space we staged the spaces so that they could look aesthetically pleasing and draw buyers to them. This was a long day, but also so fun. I have really been finding fulfillment in my new internship because I am working so busy and doing a lot of new things.
