Entrepreneur story

When I was in high school, they used to sell brownies, drinks, snacks, until the state forbid the schools from selling, I took advantage of the opportunity and starting making my own brownies and sell them to mi friends, and I used to do a lot of money.

    Hello, Juan!

    Your story reminded me of a friend I had in high-school who had a similar journey. At my school, it is a tradition for the senior class to go on a cruise, which can obviously be very expensive. All year he sold candy bars and other sweets to raise the money for his ticket and he surely did. I always admired his tenacity and thought more people should be like that, and I see you have a similar mentality!

    I believe you have a promising story but I would like to know more, as this is only a one sentence blog post. It would of been beneficial to know why you started selling candy, how long you did this, and a few personal anecdotes to truly make the story yours! If you ever need help or advice with this, feel free to let me know!

    Hello Juan,

    This story reminds me of one of my close friends from middle school. Our middle school did not sell candy and other types of junk food, so my friend took advantage of this opportunity by starting his own little business at school and started selling candy. I believe that some people just naturally have an entrepreneur mindset, even at a young age.

    Hello,
    I think you have a very neat perspective on being introduced to entrepreneurship and sales. I actually had a similar experience happen during my middle school years. There was a small concession stand on campus that sold snacks, but it got shut down with the school. However, I admire how you took the initiative to takeover the business with your own style and twist.
    Great job!

27A – Reading Reflection No. 3

Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Ashlee Vance To me, this book was extremely amazing to read, mostly because I really admire Elon Musk and I'm a great fan of his job. He is a revolutionizer and is someone that society should admire as ma whole. i think he should be admired because he leads the world most biggest space shuttle companies which is SpaceX. What I admire the most about Elon is that he does things in order to help the humanity as whole. i believe he is successful because he keeps his ideas unique and he has his own thinking criteria and is not easy influenced by what other people say. He's had a clear goal since he was in college, alleviating our dependence on oil and make us a multi-planetary species. Elon Musk has been labeled and obsessive and compulsive in his line of job, but i can't blame him with so much job in his shoulders. I don't think he would be were he is right now if it wouldn't be for his decisiveness....

26A – Celebrating Failure

1) Thought this semester, there has been many times in which I think i'm not going to hold more, that it's to difficult for me and that I needed to give up. Wether it was this class or the other there has been challenges this semester. In this class I've mostly learned that things must be handed on time. I have missed a couple of assignments because of the date, for example the cupcake which is at 12pm on Mondays was easy to miss when I first started this class. I also struggled with the URL submitting, sometimes things are not hard, but they demand responsibility, that's something I've learned in this class. Also in my marketing class, I've taken tree difficult exams and it has not been easy. The first exam I didn't do well, so I studied the most I could for the second and third and now i'm on the road to a better grade in both classes. 2) This failure taught me that I have to be patient and consistant in life, if I wouldn't have had patience when...
