Business Plan Week

So this week we really jumped into the Business Plan project and we have been working on it all week.  So far I think we have gone over about six pages that we had to do?  I thought this was going to be way harder than it actually is but once you get going it is not that bad but then again as you keep going you keep coming up with new things that may go wrong with the business.  When working on the business plan I feel bad because I am constantly asking Mrs. Weser questions when she is trying to get work done.  I will ask one question turn around work for a few minutes then turn back around and ask another.  I am hoping that the presentation on the day of shark tank will be easier than creating this whole business plan.  The good thing is that we will not have an exam which makes it so much easier since it is the end of the year.  Since it is only Wednesday so far we have done one case study for the week.  The videos are really weird that we have to watch and Arron and Sylvia are not the smartest, they should never be business owners.  I have a feeling that today in class we will take a quiz on the case study that we did yesterday, learn about two or three pages in the business plan and then have the rest of the time to work on

it because we need as much time as we can get.

Project Week

This week we did out interview project.  I was with Nick and we pretended to be interviewing Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook.  When I came up with the script and doing some research on him, I actually found it really interesting.  I found out a lot about him and how he came to be and I liked to learn about him.  I did not really like doing the actual video part because I do not like being on camera and talking in front of people.  Then we did a case study everyday and took a short quiz which was good because it was an easy quiz grade for us.  Then we were introduced to our business plan project that will be our final.  I could not believe how long the business plan document is going to be and I have no more motivation so I do not know how I am going to be able to do it.  Me, Moira, and Danielle chose to pair up with food places at the ocean front and we will deliver food to people of the beach.  So we will make an app where they can pinpoint there exact location and we will take a four wheeler to them so we can bring them there food.  Therefore, they do not have to get up and walk up and down the whole beach looking for food.  We will work for other business but we still be our own small business within them.  I think that we came up with a good idea and I hope that we will be able to come up with a good project for this plan.

The Week Back from Spring Break

So this was the first week back from Spring Break... and it was rough.  It is only Wednesday and I have no idea how I am going to be able to make it through the rest of the week.  I can barely get up in the morning and I feel like I have given up on school already since we have like a month of school left.  So we have been back only three days and I already have three projects to be working on and three quiz's this week.  So now it is clear that all of the teachers are going to try and push everything in these last few weeks.  However, in business we are still working on our marketing projects and just got introduced to a new project that will be due next Thursday.  The good thing is Danielle, Moira, and I already have two of our marketing posters done and our video is almost done so we got that done pretty fast.  We also had a quiz yesterday which was a little different then I expected but still think that I did pretty well on it.  Then today we watched the Oprah Effect which I found really cool and interesting.  It was just amazing to see how easily Oprah can influence something on people.  She can say that she likes a small product and that person's product will increase in profits by millions of dollars.  Just one little thing that she says can have other people that she barely knows become successful business people.  I personally think that she has this effect just because of who she is.  Because when people are trying to sell something and that product is on a celebrity, it sells so well.  So it is the same case for the Oprah Effect.  People look up to Oprah and she is a lot of people's role model so when she says that she uses, loves, or likes something from a business the people that look up to her are going to do exactly what she does.
