A week of learning

This week, as far as the class goes, has been very good. I am finally feeling like I understand what I am doing. The assignments that have been given this week have really helped me learn and understand a little more as to what will be expected of me if I ever want to start a business. I really enjoyed the case study about Heather Evans and her start up. I feel like I would never want to start a business right off of coming out of school. I think that it would be beneficial to me to work for someone in the same industry that I’m interested first. I feel as though this would give me a good idea as to how to maybe run my own business. I could see what worked and what didn’t work. The other thing that I really didn’t like that Heather did was that she sat around and waited for the investors to approach her. I have always been taught when looking for a job or something along those lines, that “the squeaky wheel gets noticed”. The other thing this week that I also really enjoyed was the short reading from Richard Branson. He made a lot of really good points. Most of them weren’t really anything too new but it was good to get a refresher on them. He explained his reasoning’s behind his decisions really well. Finally we come to the $100 challenge. I am still not sure where I am going to take this. There are so many different ideas that sound good but who knows if they will really be good. I guess that’s the reason it’s called a challenge.
