My Business Interview

So yea, I learned a lot from my business interview. I feel I procrastinated the entire project though, and that if i would have spent an efficient amount of time prior than the day before the projects were due, it might have turned out alright. I used to think that I would want to one day be a business owner, and maybe someday I will be...but from my experience with a restaurant owner, I know I defenitely won't be going down that road. I was really impressed with all of the presentations in our class though and felt like everyone did an awesome job. All in all, I think I psyched myself out way to much for all the effort that I put into that project, and I hope I'm not the only one!!!

My Experience With Business

My junior year in high school, a buddy of mine and I decided that we would take our knowledge of health and fitness and try to make a few extra dollars. We had an idea, that since we were looked upon as fitness junkies, we could work with those who wanted to learn more in that area; and possibly improve their physique...for money! So we started talkin to kids, makin flyers, we even had t-shirts made that everyone bought. I was in charge of the custom design for the shirt, as well as the up front cost, and also designing a fitness regiment that was suitable according to each persons needs. We were workin with kids 3x a week, for 25$...and in return, we guaranteed them results, a free t-shirt, and a discount at various shops who we had as sponsors. In the end, we made a little over 200$ each. But it was seeing how our knowledge of something, led to another person's boost in confidence, physique, and self-esteem that made it worth while. Of course money is awesome, but knowing that I could demonstrate something I loved, and in a business manner...I knew that I could grow up and spend the rest of my life doing something I loved!
