Final Post

This has been a great class for me to take, I have really loved learning about how to build a business and how to build a website in my free time.  I have found that the business that I built is worth in excess of 3,000 dollars to build, which to me is absolutely ridiculous. I am really happy that I could possibly start to build websites for people in the area. I’ve decided that I am going to build a websites advertising how I can build websites, I have already  built a new website for a Non-Profit organization that I have worked for I have never thought that I would be able to do web design I feel so much more confident now that I have gone through this class. I think that you should always reach for the stars. I think that developing our relationship with those around us using the internet can be an important part of our progression as entrepreneurs. Look for needs that you have around you I was talking to my boss today and helped him realize a new business proposition. I think that creating a company that handled staffing here in Rexburg would be quite successful for anyone to do. If you are constantly able to develop ideas with others around you will be able to come up with better and better ideas. Find a sounding board and use it as much as you possibly can. Find a niche market that you enjoy and start taking advantage of it. 

Week 12

I am closing up my 100 dollar challenge now slowly and coming to a close, I finished my last sale, so we have been able to sell 8 beanies all together which has a total revenue of 160 dollars, I have been really happy with the outcome of this project so far.  I really liked discussing Steve Jobs as well he has been one of my favorite examples of what the business world can develop a person into. I grew up working in the silicon valley so it has very much been a local hero for me. There have been great people that I know that used to do similar work as him, I have friends who they used to raid old parts from Atari and other local video game companies trash cans because they would do quality control near our houses, we would get 3-4 “broken” units and then test them out ourselves, use one as parts, and then develop a working few consoles. We made good money by repairing this “trash” and selling them as used units. Enough to keep ourselves busy throughout the rest of the week at least, until we ran out of money and had to go dumpster driving again.
