This week make your first journal entry/blog post. Reflect upon the things that you are learning and experiencing so far in this course. What are things that you are looking forward to learning and experiencing? What were some specific insights that you found while reading your book and reading some of the blogs? Why do you think that keeping an Entrepreneurial Journal will be a valuable tool?
This week we found blogs about entrepreneurship and focused on our favorites. There are so many blogs out there some better then others. I really liked one called Small Biz Daily. I read an article called "9 Things Entrepreneurs Should Know" and one thing stuck out to me. She suggested starting a business based on what you know, I think this is the key to success. I have been searching for ideas for my $100 project and I think this is going to be the key to choosing the final business. When you do something you know, you don't have to learn quite as much as you would if you knew nothing about the topic.
For my $100 project I am trying to get down 5 different business ideas, so I can be ready to present to the class next week. One idea I have is to do some type of personal shopping business. I love to coupon and search for deals, I am thinking I could shop for people. I could charge a fee and then shop for them and get them deals. I haven't thought it out 100% but it's an idea. 1 down 4 to go!
