Entrepreneurialship & Innovation: Venture Project One: Assessability

Last week was a wind whirl, so much interaction and prep for our venture project one, but also exciting to learn from everyone. I felt a little lost at times, but the team really helped me. I found that even thou we have E1’s in our group like myself, everyone added to our project. We had a lot of fun with this, well I did my interviews were so in tune with what we are working on! Everyone Hates parking in Bellingham! This was the evidence-based skills. This quarter I need help with just google docs and simple computer skills with programs I’m not too familiar with, Google slides, Google docs. I work on a Mac, and I feel I am still basic with just word. 

I find it kind of crazy to find something to create in such a short amount of time for the community likes its nothing. I remember in my 30’s I wanted to sell cars on weekends, and I went to a sales seminar. The lead person wanted me to sell him a pen in about twenty different ways and prove to him why that pen was the only pen people should be interested in using, this project brought back some fun memories.

I am quite excited to pitch Beam Parking to our class tomorrow, and pretty much all you need for evidence is the picture I have attached. You’re Welcome.

I have been thinking maybe this entire project should go further and be brought to the city!

This weekend was insane. My husband gave up his badge after thirty-one years of service. Darin will now be the Vice President of Ethics and Policy at Western, he starts tomorrow. We then went to Canada to see my seventy-five-year-old mother. I had to put this program on the back burner for two days.

That’s all folks, Happy Sunday.

Signing off..

    Hey Laura,

    Glad to hear you are starting to make sense of the class, it can be overwhelming at first, but by next quarter you will feel like a pro.

      Hey Laura,
      I would be quite interested in seeing the 20 different ways in which you could sell a pen! I can only think of 5 off the top of my head. I also felt lost at certain moments during Venture 1, but my teammates have been incredibly helpful too. And wow, thirty years is a long time! I bet that was very bittersweet.

    Hi Laura,

    It has been such a pleasure working with you for VP1, you’ve done a great job taking in new information and practicing it. I’m so glad our pitch went as well as it did and you killed it considering everything else you have going on.

    Hi Laura,
    loved the pitch idea. Could be so useful here. Sometimes ya just gotta put school on hold because life gets in the way! I understand for sure. Next quarter you will have things down if you decide to continue with the program :).
