Excitement

I am really looking forward to working on my Independent Component 2. I am going to focus on what the spa has to offer and why. The best part is that I am going to end up making a sample of what I would offer on my Spa Menu. Currently I have found that there is even a food menu included in a spa. You can serve fresh fruit flavored water and small portions of fresh fruits, cheese, & crackers. Those are only a few options. I am excited to see the outcome of this component!

1.  For my 30 Hours, I plan to do additional mentorship hours. During these mentorship hours, I will be focusing on what the Spa has to offer and what certifications they must have in order to provide each specific service. I will also learn what services are most popular to the customers. I will be producing my own "Spa Service Menu". 


2. In order to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence, I will be taking pictures of the days I am doing additional mentorship and produce my own Spa Menu that I would want to offer in my business.


3.  This will help me explore my topic more in depth, because I need to be familiar with what types of service a spa is able to offer and which ones are most popular / appealing to customers. This will also help me practice making my own spa menu and how to organize it in a way that is informative and easy to understand.

        (a) I, Tannia Negrete, affirm that I have completed my independent component which represents 30                  hours of work.

        (b) The online service that helped me complete the majority of my independent component is the U.S                   Small Business Administration. The other credit goes to my mentor Tianna Negrete.

        (c) My Independent Component 1 Log is posted up

        (d) What I completed for this component was taking online training course and looking at "Webinars"                 with real experts from the Small Business Administration and took Cornell notes on each one I                       went through. The other two days were training days that I got to be a part of at my mentorship. I                 also took Cornell notes on what took place these days because I could not take pictures of the                     programs and other things that were being used during those times.

• Interpretive

          The Cornell notes show my 30 hours of work because I made sure to take notes for every single one of the training courses that I took. Each one had something to do with entrepreneurship, business, and other aspects that are important in a business. This is the link to my log of Cornell notes.

• Applied

          This component helped me understand the foundation of my topic better because I now understand               that there are many things that come with being an entrepreneur and wanting to open a business. But             with the help of the Small Business Administration, they helped me understand that there are mentors             and training counselors that are there to help you along the way. The SBA can help you find a mentor           in your area and based on what is right for you to get started. The SBA also gave good information on           customer service, business plans, and ways to use current technology for the benefit of your business.

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.
