Going for the A

As this last project wrapped up and we start the final project the talk in class today was about taking risks and not settling for a safe project. This talk has very moving and I hope me and my group can find an unconventional idea that we can really put a full effort into. Also the talk on value proposition I think was a good way to start brainstorming ideas and find out what is important to people and makes a successful business venture.

Lion Cash Talk

Last week Chris from LionMenus came to talk to our class on the story of starting his own business. The story was very captivating as he took us through the roller coaster ride that he had been on through running his own company. I found the part about how it tore apart the partners who he said were his best friends for years. This was interesting to me because I have a group of friends who have been talking about starting a business for a long time and the advice he gave about setting guidelines for how to handle things in the beginning because people change was very interesting and valuable advice.
