I was really inspired by the case study of Roxanne Quimby this week. It has helped me understand that starting a business isn't always about having the money to start a company or the right social media effort. Roxanne was able to build her business with hard work, determination and vision. These are really the basics of any entrepreneurial effort. All of the odds were not in her favor and yet she found a way to overcome her past and create a brand that was unique and personal. On top of this, she made her way with a several million dollar company with no debt and a passion for continuing its growth.
I also was excited to learn about business process improvement this week. As a project manager for my day job, this is something I deal with on a day to day basis. To me, improving processes is at the root of a business and a business that recognizes that things aren't always going to be done the exact same way every time is one that grows.
$100 Challenge - This week I have continued to make progress with sales and have really developed a way to keep track of all of my finances. Many of my customers have started returning and have talked with their friends and family. While I struggle to meet my initial goals I have tried to refocus on maintaining the slow progress I am making.
