BUSINESS IDEA PROJECT
Come up with a business idea you want to do. Then create a plan for implementation and goals. For this business, it is one you are doing on your own.
If you already have a business you’re working in, make a plan for that.
Then start working on it and see how far you can get before we meet again on Jan 18.
CHOOSE SOMETHING and ACT! If you just come up with ideas, you won’t know if you like it or if it can be successful. You CAN change your busines idea later, but you need to test it out first.
Click Here for a Guide on how to come up with ideas. You don’t have to follow this all, but it can help!
Fill in THIS PLAN and create a plan of action. Also write your $$money goal for winterim – how much will you make before we meet again? Choose any amount $5 or more.
Here is a CALENDAR to plan what you’ll do each week.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Business Project Sale Challenge
Once you’ve decided what your business idea is, make a sale to prove your concept to someone OTHER than a relative. There are sales tips in the method link above. You can definitely make more than one sale, but make at least 1!
Write down your story so you can remember it to share with us.
BUSINESS PITCH
We will be doing a shark tank style pitch for your business soon after we reconvene. Whose businesses will get investment money? If you can get your business going during winterim, you’ll be that much farther ahead on pitching it! This is low pressure, but you’ll feel more confident if you’re solid in your plan and idea.
Watch the Shark Tank Videos below — but don’t worry, we won’t be this intense, nor is it like we will have billionaire investors.
You don’t have to have this done by Jan 18, but you definitely can and be ahead!
