StartUp.com Documentary

  Hello all! I watched the StartUp documentary and had mixed feelings about it. It gave me great insight on the process of creating a startup company. Their company GovWorks was intended to create an easier route for governmental operations through an online platform. Both Tom and Kaleil started off strong with great support. However, throughout their journey, both Tom and Kaleil slowly lost their passion and shifted their focus more on the money aspect. This change in their focus caused Tom to eventually leave the company and put Kaleil in full charge. Personally, I would have fired Kaleil.

However, Kaleil’s selfishness was highlighted when Tom decided to take the leave of absence. Tom should have gotten his fair share when he tried to take his leave of absence. Additionally, Tom requested to spend more time with his daughter. However,...

Strengths and Weaknesses

 Hello all! I did some thinking and discovered what my true strengths and weaknesses are regarding building a company. My strengths are that I am caring. I am helpful and am always willing to help when needed. I am intelligent. I am a leader and can help lead strategies/ manage. I can get along with anyone. I am quite open-minded. I can put myself in other people’s shoes to see their point on things. I am calm and can stay calm in any urgent situation. I am positive-minded. I am a problem-solver. I am punctual.

I sometimes struggle with taking critique when it is given to me. It is sometimes hard for me to voice my opinion when I want/need to be heard. I ca...

Business Ideas

Hello all! I have had some time to think about my three business ideas. The first idea I came up with was a driving school. This driving school would offer classes/ driving lessons for students to be able to obtain their driver’s license. This company would be available in person with some course work available online. This company would be in a storefront. The second idea was a trucking company. This company would be an LLC. This company would be available both in person and online. This company will have connections between dispatchers and other companies that would need loads delivered. The third idea was a used and new shoes/clothing reselling company. I would resell used or new shoes/clothes. Customers would also get the option to rent or buy the shoes/clothing. This company would be available in person and online. This company would require agreements to consider for damaged, lost products, if products are rented. I am not quite sure which business idea sounds the best. I am lean...
