Once again I’m back at it to create/continue my Entrepreneurial
Journal for a new class. One of the big parts of this blog
will be as I work towards an assignment called the $100.00 challenge. It’s where I try to create a small business
and earn $100 over the course of the semester as I sell it. I then donate the earnings to another small
business person.
I have no desire to be a small business owner myself, but I
know the skills I learn in this will only help me as I look into management and
teaching in other areas of my life. This
week I did an assignment called Points of Pain where I brainstormed
problems/issues that needed solving and any ideas I could make for a business
to solve them. Half were to be the $100.00
Challenge and the other half the ideas were to be a Big Idea. I had fun with this, one so much so that I
even stopped what I was doing and called my wife to say, “You’re never going to
believe what I just came up with.”
Many of the ideas were around things I’m very comfortable
with; computer use, teaching, sports, math, scouts and youth. Many would be things that I could easily do
on the side, once I’m done with over 20 hours a week in homework that is. At any rate, I have a great semester of this
class ahead of me, here we go.
