It was a different experience doing my second interview because it was with my actual mentor. My official mentor is my very own sister Tianna Negrete. She works at the Pacific Palms Resort and Spa. This will not be a problem because even though she is my sister, at work when I go to do my mentorship, she treats me the way she has to in the work force. I am looking forward to going in more often and seeing more about the way the spa is run. I think it is also a plus that my sister is still going to school to major in business because I can ask her about any information that she can give me on that. I also feel that I can benefit from hanging gout with her at work and helping her out there because that way I can learn more on my social skills. My sister is a people person and she is able to communicate with anyone and provide great customer service. I hope that I can learn from her and get out of my comfort zone because that is one major skill that is needed in the business world.

Blog 8: Research and Working EQ
1. Working EQ: What is the best way to stay competitive in the Spa Industry?
2. Possible Answer: Focus the spa on what the customers are looking for, appeal to what they are seeking; age and gender are a major part of what one may need to keep in mind.
3. The most important source that has helped me come up with an answer to my working EQ is an article called "Marketing a Resort-Based Spa" written by Patricia Monteson. This article focuses more on the spa aspect and what things one should focus on when wanting to open a resort based spa. It gives insight on what "spa-goers" are looking for based on both age and gender.
4. I am volunteering / doing my mentorship at the Pacific Palms Resort. The manager will have me be around those who work in the spa department of this resort. This opportunity to volunteer here relates to my working EQ because I will not only be able to see how a spa is run, but also how this spa differs from others on what it has to offer. I will be able to learn how this spa place appeals to its customers too.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval
1. For my 30 hours, I plan to take online courses that focus on the business aspect of my topic. I will be taking cornel notes while also doing the work that is required for each course. The courses will focus on anything related to business and entrepreneurship.
2. To meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of work, I will show the course descriptions and the work that I completed. If I am able to, I will also print out all the specific course work and anything else that is available.
3. By doing this, I will explore my topic more into depth because in order to succeed in this topic, I need to be more familiar with the business aspect of it. Business is the foundation of running a spa or any other business in general. It is the most important part of beginning any small business. I need to go more in depth in order to learn about how things work in the business industry and how it is to start up and run something. Entrepreneurship will also be something I will learn about because I am focusing on starting my own business.
