Week #2

I would like to start by reporting on my progress with the $100 challenge. I have always been a creative person and I like to get the creative juices flowing. The assignment allowed me to use my creative skills to help others find their sense of style and creativeness. Given the fact we are expected to have a low startup cost, I have elected to center my ideas on service-oriented businesses. It was fun to think of all the ways I could make life easier/more fun and comfortable for students on campus. My number one idea so far has been custom pillow covers. This allows students or really anyone to pick custom fabric for pillow covers to make their apartment or home more enjoyable. This will be affordable for all and a fun way to spice up your home.  

I found the case study this week to be very fun and inspirational. I have been on the duck tour in Boston and it will always be one of my best memories of the city. I loved how a business was created based on a passion and not solely based on market opportunity or financial gain. I will apply this principle to my future business endeavors.
