Starting a Small Business

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

All right folks.

At this point, there are six of you in the class and you'll be working in pairs. I may allow one more pair to join the class.

First week assignment is to pair up and decide what kind of mock business you want to start.

I know that kinneybrian and taylorjustin said they want to work together.

the4thsister mentioned possibly working with cookinggeek because they live together - are you two going to do that?

That would leave aka_vala and veronicamars1 as partners.

I'll work on the assumption that this is going to be the case and you let me know if anything changes. You can have this class time to decide what type of business you want to run (restaurant, inn, PR firm, factory, whatever) and figure out a name. Remember that your name says a lot about you and sometimes a name can make or break you.

Names can also have brand recognition - My inn, for example, is called The Dragonfly Inn - and, consequently, we use a dragonfly logo on as much as possible. Keep these things in mind when deciding on a name.

Next week, we'll talk about getting start up capital for your business.

*rolls his eyes at Justin*

My dear, just keep it like that and no dinner for you tonight. *smirks at the annoyed look on Justin`s face*

"I think you forget darling that between the two of us, I'm the only one that can cook."

Ok, and how old are you exactly, little boy? Cause you look about 10 to me. *he laughs at Justin`s reaction* And if God wanted me to cook, he wouldn`t invent take out menus. *grins at Justin*

"Alright then. We'll see if the local diners around here can cook your favorite meal without loading it down with grease since we already know that I can and I make it way better but hey you wanna do take-out tis' fine by me."

*Just sighs and keeps quite, knowing he got beat this time.*

Knows better than to rub in his victory. So, he just smiles at Brian and leans over and kisses his cheek before returning his attention back to his school work.
