Lesson 5

And a challenge it certainly is...

I admit, I have been shirking in my responsibilities in school.  That is why I have not visited the blogosphere in a while.  Plus, my life has been overwhelming these past couple of weeks.  My mom has been in and out of the hospital with complications from a surgery, and I attended a training session in Atlanta for my new internship with Sprint.  This week was a great learning experience as well as a perspective changer.  I noticed many instances where I applied the concepts I learned in this business program.  I also had a direct parallel to our training and this week's material.

During training, we discussed our personal brand as it pertains to our conduct and professionalism at work.  I think there is a great lesson to be learned that we are our own personal brand and we are constantly marketing ourselves during our careers as entrepreneurs or as employees.  Guy Kawasaki talked about constantly improving our brand by being likable and improving our "Pan-Am" smile.

As far as the $100.00 challenge goes, not much progress has been made because I have been so busy.  However, I have drafted a plan on how to tackle the initial product manufacturing.  I am going to make a test batch at home, and then work into larger batches using a local meat market's equipment.  Although I am going to be really busy, I welcome the challenge.

Till next time...
