1.) I did my mentor ship at my sister's house.

2.) My contact is Amanda Mendoza

3.) I did a total of 10 hours while I was there

4.) While I was there she made me do an outline on a project her job gave her. Which was basically like what type of posters/ads and such should be put up keep in my that she works at Victoria Secret so this was really difficult on me and i really didn't do a good on it. BUT after I was done she gave me an eye opener she brought me her outline that she was working on cause she knew that I wasn't going to do such a good job on it and told me that if i really want to go into business really put forth effort into finding out who your clients are going to be and what kind of deals are they looking for and that really made me get more focused on my senior project cause I really had to find out who customers where to do a good job on it.

Blog 10: Senior Project: The Holiday

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you over the break with your senior project?

A. During the break my Mentor went off on a vacation with her family so I was stuck in a pickle on how to get hours for my senior project that would relate to my topic. So I went and asked my sister if I can somehow help her with anything relating to business and luckily for me they gave her a certain for the store. I basically had to find out what kind of customers will go to VS. Now she works in Rancho and that's not my area of expertise to I had to do some research and I came up with OK ideas sense well it wasn't really my place to do work for.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

A. I learned that you really got to know the type of customers you'll be getting. You really need to focus on what they want and what they would like to see if of course you want to maximize your potential profit. Just working on ideas which I wasn't very good at but it showed that knowing your business helps a lot when doing such things as that.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

A. I am thinking of changing my EQ because I don't really like how it is right now making it more difficult to do research so as of right now this portion I cannot answer very well. But of course I can always ask vague questions and see what kind of response I would get but I don't want that.

1.) In a struggling economy how do you start a business and maintain it? (still tweaking)

2.)

• maintain a certain goal stick to it get all the little things out of the way   

3.) Most sources have helped plentiful. They all really state the same answer but specify in different areas. So having a good knowledge of what your EQ really is and having the right answer really helps.

4.) Amanda Mendoza is one of my mentors that I've spoken to as of late she really knows what to do in certain situations. when someone asks her to get something done it's done.

Blog 7 Independent Component 1 Approval

What I am doing for my senior project competent 1 is a suggestion my mentor gave to me about starting a small little business. Something I can get done while also getting paid and giving me the sense of idea on how difficult it is to do. So as of now i have started my own business going to various different businesses and asking if they have any extra loads of flyers that they would like to pass out and sure enough they do. I charge a small amount and get right on to it with passing them out. The hard part this component is showing that I challenged myself to get up at 3 am and start right there and then. Which will show my time management preparation and other elements to becoming a future business owner.

Blog 4 Interview

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?
 I plan on interviewing my soon-to-be mentor Araceli Mendez. Since mt topic has to do with how you start a busines from the ground up. She has done this and is making her living off of that.


2.  You have to ask 5 questions.  What additional questions do you plan to ask? 
-How did you come about to start your business?
-Starting off where there times where you thought this wasn't possible to accomplish?
-When it comes to funds does all of your income come from your income? If so does it apply to the whole family?
-What are some sacrifices that you had to make to be where you are today?
-Does this in any way, as in your buisness, affect your family's life?

Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals

1.) Running/starting a successful business

2.)

• To improve my skills on being an effective learner while working on my topic is quite challenging yet easy to do at the same time. I would have to listen to everything my mentor says and does and observe how to create her ways and make them my own.
• To become a more effective communicator is rather easy. While doing my hours I had the chance to talk to many different customers and ask why they chose to come so often. Which really helped me being able to talk to others with confidence. I only hope to grow upon this.
• To improve my skills in using technology I would create power points and such when presenting or while doing hours if customers want something new I will show a slideshow of her work and ask if they would like anything new.
• To become a better I-poly citizen is harder for me since I'm not really comfortable leaving my social group but am able to talk to others naturally I only hope to improve my social awkwardness at times and make others time here as fun as mine.
