Week 12

While I’m extremely glad to be done with the $100, I was able to learn a lot from it. Selling baked goods just wasn’t the business experience that I had though it would be. Too much of it depended on the schools and people walking by. The timing should have been different in order to get people when they weren’t in a rush to get kids and get home. Now I know that if I want people to have time to stop and look, I should pick a place where they aren’t in a hurry. Picking a spot around the  tourist attractions would have probably worked better. Having a building to work out of would have been good too because it was raining for several of the days.

Learning about franchises has caused me to actually look into those more. Some of them are very expensive, but others aren’t. I am looking into starting a dry cleaning business and buying a franchise might be the way to go. Our town really needs one, but I don’t know where to start. A franchise would train me and help with setting it all up, which would be ideal. There has been a lot of assignments to get done though, so I haven’t had time to do much research but hopefully I will have time soon.
