Month: November 2021

What did you see that you loved at pitches this week?

I really liked hearing the E1s pitch and I was glad to finish my pitch!

What went well this quarter?

I thought traction for my project went great. I started off strong and figured out what I wanted to do, started to work towards my goals. Then in the end realized it was not going to work out. Learned a lot this quarter.

Outside of E&I

Had a great week back home with my family celebrating thanksgiving, got to see my grandparents for the first time in a while which was nice and got to hang out with my friends back home!

Between now and Final Pitches, what traction steps do you need to make?

Not much, I am pitching tomorrow and feel prepared. One thing I will be changing is to make the expenses section more detailed so it is easier to digest for the audience. Then after pitches I just need to do a little more drive work.

Outside of E&I this week

This week was pretty good, didn’t do anything crazy during the weekdays just a lot of work and school work. I have been doing a lot more work with NFT trading which has been a lot of fun. Then on Friday and Saturday I hung out with some friends and housemates!

 What are you going to do to exceed the standards this quarter?

• I am going to focus on finishing strong. I think a lot of people feel this way and I certainty do, that you start the quarter strong and start to get overwhelmed as the quarter progresses and then you fall of track a little. That is why I think it is just real important to focus up the last month of each quarter.

Why does it matter to you?

• Why does finishing strong matter to me? I care a lot about my work and I like to follow through with my commitments, weather its school or anything in life.

What jumps out to you in the VP2 rubric?

• I guess not having to do a BIC is nice.

Where could you use support?

• Not too sure where I could use support, If I ever have a question the teaching team is very helpful.

What did you learn in shift and share- what did you love, what would you have loved to see?

• I did my presentation on stock trading which I enjoyed to do, and I also enjoyed hearing Lacoya’s presentation.

What did I do this week outside of E&I?

• Not too much, was really busy with school work and kombucha town, got to go out Friday night with some friends which was a lot of fun.

What did you love this week?  

I enjoyed the fellow presentations on Wednesday! I also liked going over my POA on Monday, it was reassuring to see I was ahead of my plan.

What resonated with you in workshops?

Listening to Jono talk about his journey during the fellow presentations, he had a lot of setbacks in his journey, but it did not discourage him from pushing forward.

How might you apply this week’s learnings to your venture?

I will look into setting higher standards for myself in the winter quarter POA.

Outside of E&I this week

I kept myself busy this week with work and school. I created an Instagram for my venture, kombucha_creations, and I got a lot of positive feedback from my friends and peers. I have also developed a full business plan to follow through with next quarter to start selling my kombucha, currently in the talks with Chris from Kombucha Town to work out a deal in which I can list the Kombucha Town facility as my “Plant Location” on the food processing license, if I can do this then that will be my most important advancement in this venture, so far.
