Startup.com

The documentary startup.com was an interesting watch. Viewers got to watch as a company was formed and finished. It was interesting to see everything that goes into forming a startup company. We got to see the power struggle and everything that can go wrong at any moment that can lead to the end of their company. It was a great way to see what goes on inside and what it really takes to run a real company. I believe that the break-in was an inside job. It was either accomplished by someone on the competition’s team or someone who was let go and didn’t agree with that decision. The person who committed the break-in knew where everything as and took everything that was of value such as khaleel’s computer which had important paperwork. I think this could’ve only been done by someone who knew the building, knew the people, and knew where everything was kept. I don’t think I would’ve fired anyone.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths and weaknesses.  Being able to identify your strengths and weaknesses can help someone become self-aware and help you understand how to move forward and better yourself not only as an individual but also as a team member.

I think that all of these strengths help me overcome chall...

3 Business Ideas

3 business ideas that I am interested in would be A one stop shop beauty salon A coffee shop/stand Laundromat/vending machine I have always been interested in the beauty industry, and I’ve always wanted to one day go to esthetician school. It’s not a very unique idea, but as something that I am interested in, I would definitely want to create a business plan for this. The services I would offer would include, facials, eyelash extensions, waxing, etc. I would also want to expand and offer spaces for independent estheticians or nail techs to rent out a room or part of the salon to build their own clientele while charging them rent. Another idea I had was a coffee shop. Again, not too unique but as a past employee of a coffee shop, I was able to learn how to make drinks and customize them for the customer. I would start as a coffee stand with no seating but would eventually expand to accommodate for seating as well. I would enjoy running my own cafe one day and creating a space ...
