Blog 10: Senior Project: The Holiday

1. Over the break, with my senior project, I began looking for other pieces of research that I could use for my research checks. But before that, I was able to finish up my Cornell notes on my previous research article called Principles of Entrepreneurship. I was only able to go to my mentorship once because during the holidays, it is way to busy and too much that needs to get done. I of course could not do much because I'd be in the way rather than being any help.

2. From my research Principles of Entrepreneurship, I learned that more often in today's time, it is cheaper for one to have some type of online business since the costs of maintaining and running a website have gone down. I have realized that this could be an option, but to sell and advertise the products I would use in my Spa. I have also learned based off my mentorship that there is so much more to deal with and handle during the holidays and that is when the most costumers come in.

3. I would actually want to try to talk to all the employees in the spa department that run the different sections of the spa, to find out what their perspectives would be on the questions related to my EQ. I would get different answers based off of what they see in their specific department and then I could finally talk to the actual manager who sees the business as a whole.
