B283 Week 3

We read a case study about a guy who started a business doing Duck Tours. He had a lot of problems getting started but was very successful. As I read this guy’s story, I realized that I have this dream in my head of what starting my business is going to be like, but I haven’t really done some of the investigating that I need to. I have assumed quite a few things, but I may need to make sure that I don’t need any permits before starting my own business. I would also like to have all of my financial records already in some kind of Quick Books program so that the end-of-the-year records aren’t ridiculous. I want to run a successful business, but I know that if I start off with than many problems, I will probably give up and not finish it. My own business won’t be starting until I’m done with school, so that gives me plenty of time to get it all figured out.

As for my $100 Challenge project, I’m fairly certain that I will be doing a bake sale. I’ve realized that we will be doing this around Valentine’s Day and thought that I could make some holiday specific cookies or candies along with regular cookies. I’ve looked though some ideas for easy Valentine’s crafts and treats and have been figuring out which will taste good and be easy to either put in a bag or package of some sort. Lots of ideas, I just want to focus it so that I don’t overwhelm myself or waste too much.
