Evolving into an Entrepreneur

Ahh...the time has come. We have finally received our major assignment for the end of year, otherwise known as the summative. This project is worth 30% of our final mark, it sounds like a lot but it's better than having the pressure of both a summative AND an exam!

It's time to put all the skills we've learned throughout the course to good use. For this last assingment we'll be applying all our knowledge gained from the course towards one product. This one aim will be a plan to start up our own small business in the form of a sole proprietorship. I'm actually glad that this is our goal for the end of the year; being able to use all our skills for a task such as this proves that this course is very useful!

Ideas do not come easily, and ideas that can be built on come even harder but I've already started to brainstorm some possibilities for this project. Keeping in mind that I have to be able to afford this and carry it out...these are the possibilities:

- Seniors Computer software use lessons
- Creating Flyers/Advertisements for other local businesses
- Customized Buttons Business

These are a few ideas but the one I'm probably sticking with for now is the customized button business. To start up this business I won't need much aside from my mind, my button machine and a computer. I already have these as my assets, so I have a start-up cost of $0. This sounds good, but as I factor in future issues as well as consumable purchases, this might not be the best idea to go with.

[Edit April 27th] This is why we have to get our ideas approved by 1 adult and 2 peers. If they can already see flaws, it's time to go back to the drawing board. Remember that a good final business is one that Mr. Case can see you starting the next day!

Well, all the best to everyone...
