Journal Entry #8

In order to exceed standards this quarter; my group and I will go above and beyond on our VP2 project. This matters to me because I value the lessons in this class and I want to be the best entrepreneur I can be. I don’t think anything stands out to me in the rubric, just have to get everything done. Between now and pitches, my group and I need more traction on our pitch deck. We are trying to put it together before rehearsals tomorrow and have not really started it. Should not be a problem though after we meet today.

This week I really liked hearing from our guest speaker. I really liked how she said to know your own worth for charging people for services. I have been debating charging people for a service in my own ventures and It was reassuring to hear I should just go for it at market rate. If I am not mistaken I do not think we did anything workshop related this past week, so nothing resonated with me unfortunately. I enjoyed hearing Adam’s presentation in the shift and share. Adam I know you will be reading this, so I just wanted to say nice job, and if you actually made it into an app after some more prototyping I bet you could get something going.

E2 Change leadership

This change leadership was great. Last quarter I was a little stressed about it, but this time around I felt great. I made sure to get a jump start on it by attending a career fair last week for my event. Then I got my group together for the nourshering network part so we could all have that part covered. Overall I think it went really great and I am curious to see what grade I will get back. Below is the link to my google drive if you want to check it out!

This week was great, I really liked hearing from Rebecca and Jonathan again. It was great to hear from them last quarter, and even better this time. The JTBD statement really resonated with me this week, it helped my group and I better align our ideas and get on the same page. I will use my new JTBD statement going into the coming weeks to do things like, create interview questions, a new BIC, and VPC. Looking forward to next week!

Instead of talking about my customer i’ll be talking about the company we are consulting instead. Currently we are just meeting with Honey salon and hearing from them what is working and what isn’t working. From there we will work hard to best serve them and potentially make the day to day a little easier going. Our group got some great advice from others during the ugly but tasty, so that is the learning I will be applying to our venture. Getting the feedback really helped us come up with some good ideas that we will ask Honey if they are interested.

Journal Entry #4

This quarter is making me much more knowledgeable in the business research section, due to the fact that I am consulting a local company for VP2. I would say, as of right now, I have started to develop more empathy this quarter because I am helping a business that has been affected by covid-19. It is causing me to see how bad some of these companies are doing right now, which makes me feel bad for them. I thought the exam went great. Nothing to hard. At first I was slightly confused on how to approach the work. I learned quickly I was pretending to be a consultant for the company, and after that everything seemed smooth sailing. I learned some very helpful info about our VP2 consulting project from Tara on Wednesday, so I will take that new knowledge into my work this coming week.
