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.
