I learned that there is a lot more involved in starting a business and you have to know a lot about what you are doing and what you could do to improve. I enjoyed the conversation and the creative ideas my group had it was cool to be thinking about stuff that I don't usually think about. My groups shop idea was skateboards and it was cool to see what people wanted to do, we called our shop swagabuild skateboard shop. It was like Build A Bear except you didn't build it you just picked your board, your wheeles and your design then the employees built it.

I learned that there a lot if steps to start a business. Like you have to know a lot of things to start one e.g. you would need to find a place then hire workers. The most thing I enjoyed was making our own business with our groups it was fun because we had a lot of ideas to start our business. And I enjoyed filling our our own job application.

I learned that it is very hard to start our own business. There are a lot steps that you need to follow to start your own business. I really enjoyed doing a conversation with my group regarding our business. It was really fun, because everybody had different ideas, and they were all really creative and good. I also enjoyed filling out my job application.

I learned how to manage a business. First you have to have a job interview. Second you get applied for the job and third. You do your job. Making a business can be very hard. You can even loose money!

I learned that it takes a lot of money to make a business. but if you get a good income then you get the money. If your expenses gets higher than your income then you will go down hill and be in to the minus and your business will be toast

The most interesting thing that I learned was we had to have a good handshake, because if you barely hold on, it will make the other person think you're lazy. I you hold on for a long time or your hands are sweaty, they will think you're nervous. The thing that I enjoyed the most about the presentation is that we got to create our own business. I also really want to make pens on Thursday, because that sounds really fun!

I learned that starting a business is harder then it looks! My favourite parts of the presentation are when they did some demonstrations of interviews and when we got to interview our partners. I also liked filling the sheet with my group on our Skateboarding store buisness, Swag A Build Skate Board Shop. It sounds fun to make pens but I'm interested in learning about how it involves buliding a buisness? See everyone tomorrow, bye!

Some interesting things I learned was... first thing is that I didn't know that it took that much work just to hire someone. Another thing I didn't know about was the word reseme. I had heard the word I just didn't know what it meant. One last thing I learned was that you had to pay a lot of money for rent. I though it might have been like 1,000 dollars a month for rent.

I think that I learned how much work it takes just to open a new location. I also earned hot much work it takes to hire someone. I didn't think that they would even do the interview because they have their reseme. See you all tomorrow.

Hi! I thought that interviewing other people was fun. The most interesting thing that I have learned is that when the employes are looking for people to work then a lot of people are hiring but the employes has to interview everyone, one by one and that could take long and also it would be hard to pick the right person. It was also fun testing our handshakes p.

I believe that the best part about the presentation was when SoccerMaster went up and had an interview. That was funny. I think the most interesting part about my application was that I actually had something or a plan I wanted in the future. I thought it that would have been the hardest part. But I guess not! :)

I learned that it takes alot of work to get hired by a employer, and also that rent and capital can be really expensive at times. I also have no idea why handshakes are so important as well.

I found the most interesting thing I learned was that it costs a LOT of money to keep a business running. It also costs a lot of money to get started, and it has a lot of risk of going bankrupt. Although my favourite part was when we had to practice our interview with people in our group. What I really enjoyed about the presentation though was when April and Sachin did an interview together. However I wonder how many people have had an interview like that one before? Probably painfully high. Does anyone have a really funny interview they know of, because I bet there are some hilarious ones out there e.g. interviews in Friends.

I learned that creating a business costs lots of money and lots of people to help you start a successful business. What I enjoyed the most about the presentation is when we got to put down information about a business we were going to start! I can't wait until they come on Thursday so we can make the pens and maybe more!

It takes a lot of time ans effort to start your own business such as money, employees and supplies. If you don't have any supplies then you would be able to gain money and pay your employees. Money that you gain does not go straight into pocket it first goes to rent, paying your employees and then the rest goes to more supplies or it's your profit. I've had a rough day because after hockey we were at the school and three teenagers used a fire extinguisher and blasted are car with it. If you what to hear more Detail ask me tomorrow or ask your parent to go on to hillcrests facebook page. I will see you all tomorrow. B-)

I learned that it is a lot more difficult to make a business then the young entrepreneurs show. The thing I enjoyed the most from the presentation is trying to say their last names. See you all today/Wednesday.
