For the past few weeks, we have been working on making our own businesses. We started off by learning a little about how people started their businesses and some more about how to keep to our budgets. We had to get into groups of 4 and assign our roles.
My group consisted of Makenzie as the Finance Manager, Kahcair as the Marketing Manager, Lucy as the CEO, and me as the Production Manager. Our business was a success for we sold our's very quickly and had some people complementing our sherbert. We made around $40 profit for we had a $20 budget. 2 of the things I had learned were that sherbert was very easy to make or mess up. The other thing that I learned was that make boxes out of paper were very easy once you get the hand of it.
Because my group was very indecisive we had changed our product many times causing us to have very little time to get the prices and prepare for the market day. We had a lot of trouble with time management because we were very slow with our jobs causing us to have to do a lot of things last minute. Next time I would definitely try to figure out our product quicker and try to keep to the budget better.
My highlight of the day was when my group sold out and we could all wander around together and look at everything everyone else had made. It was very interesting with the different ideas that people had but that is what made the market day better.
