During this week, I have completed many tasks essential to our projects. My group has been focusing on extensively revising business parts 1-6. We have all been working together very effectively and have given each other constructive feedback. Each day in class, productive work was done. My group was very motivated to turn in the best work to Dave Gladstone. I know that we all wanted to look professional and legitimate as we are starting to become entrepreneurs. It has been very comforting knowing that I can rely on my team members to complete tasks. At the beginning of this project, I anticipated there would be some issues with this, but so far so good! I was also an active member in the group this week. For Storefront parts 4-6 I completed part six. I was willing to revise it, and I knew I had my group members to help me if it got challenging along the way. For example, part six was quite a challenge for me, and I did not feel that I would give a good explanation of how all the numbers made sense in relation to each other. Thankfully, Sales agreed to help me out. It is great to work together as a time. I worked with Samantha helping her revise part 5 and gave Sales feedback on his write up for part 6, and also edited it and made some finishing touches. I oversaw the group and made sure everyone handed in documents on time. However, I knew that would not be a problem.
Our Doggy daycare is coming along and we are working on generating the best type of Doggy Daycare there is. We have been coming up with ideas and ways to improve what we have come up with so far. I have been in contact with Pat Maloney, a worker at Town Hall who informed me about the different costs and things we needed to start our doggy daycare. We were in touch over email and I contacted him about the kennel application, certificacy of occupancy, and the application for holding animals. He emailed me back with all the necessary documents. Since, he emailed me on Friday I haven't had the chance to show my group members yet. This will be done first thing Monday morning.
We have also been very proactive selling socks. Jack has done a good job contacting his friends and reaching out to people who want to buy them. As of Friday we had two pairs left, and I am pushing my group to order more. I am confident that we could sell a lot more at sporting events and during lunches. However, I do think we would need to drop the price. Most people don't want to spend $12 on a pair of socks. My goal for this week, will be to push my group to order more socks. I will make sure they feel confident about the product. I am also willing to buy a pair myself to help out, and my sister even said she wanted a pair!! I am proud of the work my group has completed this week.
I, too, was nervous about your group at first, but I've been impressed with how you've all pulled together and gotten the work done. You've worked on two solid projects, both pretty successful, and should feel good about the work you've done. I know that you were a big part of this team's success.
