Young Entrepreneurs; Tuesday, After Classes [ 09/15 ].

As usual (and promised), there was coffee and donuts available on the desks shoved together to make their big board room meeting table and Turtle had written in large letters on the board "Product Ideas." Today's would be a fairly straightforward meetings; there was very little involved, which felt weird to Turtle, but, at the same time, tomorrow was the Student Council elections, so her stomach was doing flip-flops and her attention was poorly focused, and she couldn't even think of touching a donut without feeling sick, so maybe that was a good thing.

"Okay!" Turtle said. "Welcome back. Now, selling a product or a service is one of the key things that an entrepreneur does; without it, he or she is not really entrepreneuring anything. So that's what we're going to talk about today. As it's my last year, I've actually got what I think is a really good idea for a product, but I want to see what other things you guys can think of before I throw that out there, and we'll toss the ideas on the board and then discuss and consider which is going to be the most workable."

"Any questions? Let's hear what you've got."

"Thanks!" Turtle grinned. "I think so, too, but I'll admit, I only thought of it for selfish reasons. I'd like a little Gremlin plushie to take with me to college, you know?" She laughed a little, then shook her head. "I don't think it would be too difficult to find someone to make them; we'll go over distributors in another meeting. If we wanted to make them ourselves, it might be a little neater, but we'd have to consider a lot more there."

"For one, we'd have to actually make them," Jack said. "I don't know about you, but I can think of things I'd rather do than put beads on wire for keyrings."

"We could always outsource the heavier end of the work to more gifted students," Turtle reasoned. "Of course, we'd have to consider what their compensation would be, and compare it to what we'd have to pay to get them just manufactured elsewhere and sent in."
