Was it Easy??

      At first it does feel strange that you are discussing about your ideal plan to a group of people who you don't know, but at the same time it feels great when people start admiring your idea. When our professor made groups in class I was a bit nervous to discuss my business idea, but after other people started talking about their plans, I felt more comfortable discussing my idea because my group was giving positive feedback. After getting out of my nervous zone I started sharing my idea about renting jerseys and I thought to myself maybe they won't like or its not a great idea compared to what they had, but they liked my idea and thought its a great idea to help people who can't afford expensive jersey's. Also some of my peers thought it was a good idea because sport events don't happen daily they happen like once a week so just renting a jersey can work because sports fan will wear it for that specific day and just return it and will save money. 
       After the positive feedback I felt good and I don't feel that nervous anymore about sharing my idea because I realized that if I talk to more people I will get some knowledge whether my business will work or not. It wasn't that easy to talk about my idea but at-least we got good feedback so in the future we can fix some errors that can be possible in our plan. While explaining I took a deep breath and imagined if my peers were like business investors and I tried to explain my idea in a way where they should of jumped out of their seats and said "Yes this is it!". Although in my case that didn't happen but the feedback was great!

So after watching this movie we got to see the perspective of two young entrepreneurs that were trying to reach success.  We get to see their journey from when they started and how they started which was really fun to watch. This documentary was involved around two friends one named Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and Tom Herman.  In the beginning these two fellows were trying to figure out the name of the company. They were arguing about what should they name the company. Kaleil thought maybe govWorks wont work but after giving another thought he said yes and said that govWorks will be a good choice. After that they tried to find investors. They purposed there plan to many investors where some investors were like go to the west coast because they do internet related stuff, but they didn't give up. They found the right investors and went along, but had to face many obstacles but thats how business works. As the documentary was going along, we as viewers saw how from 8 employees the compan...

How to protect your intellectual property?

After going to class last week I learned a lot of things such as people can steal ideas and we need to be secure before it happens. There are people who are trustworthy but there are people who can be clever sometimes so it is always sensible to protect your intellectual property. We learned about different methods in class in which we can protect our intellectual property. One method was creating a trademark. So with a trademark, such as a symbol or some kind of name our company will be unique from other companies. For example the apple company has their own logo which makes them stand out and different. So having a symbol of some sort is necessary in order to make the company standout. Also another way to protect your intellectual property is by copyright. Copyright helps an entrepreneur because then nobody can legally change or copy the work you have. So this right is great because then no stranger can copy the same idea  and this method helps one protect their intellectual prop...

How do you getting funding?

Funding plays a big role in business. When you have an idea but it requires a lot of money then one needs a good amount of money to make the idea work. In class we went through the step to get funding. So its good to go over it because I now have an idea how I want to get funding.  Basically self funding will be a good start and as we learned in class most entrepreneurs take that step because they are just starting. So after a little bit of self funding then the next step is borrowing money from family/friends. This step can be easy to do or hard because it depends on your family/friends if they want to invest money to make you successful. So in process of funding family/friends can help. So for sure i'm going to take this step and ask for money because the product I am trying to create has sensors involved  and will cost money. Then comes the next step of Angel investing. After lecture we learned that Angel's are private Accredited investors who seek to make investments in yo...
