$100 challenge

This week we watched a video about Corey Bell. We also were supposed to come up with some ideas for this $100 challenge. In short the $100 challenge is where we start a business with $20 and try to make a profit of at least $100. One of our assignments this week was to write out a list of 20 ideas that we think might be possible to do where we are. I wrote out a lot of them. I could've written more, but I felt a lot of them were variations of the same thing, so I left those ones out. I feel that most of my ideas stem from doing something simple and telling people it is for a nonprofit organization just so that I can charge them more. That seems unfair and also not really filling the requirement of the assignment. I am trying to fix a problem. I know there are lots of problems, but it is hard to envision one that I can solve by myself and also with only $20. I may be able to get my wife to help. I don't know how fair that is either. I am excited and scared about this project. I hope I can find a good idea in the right spot to get the best out of this assignment.

If you love what work you do then everything in that line of work will be enjoyable. You will love working with the people you work with. Get to know who you work with and you will find joy in getting to know them and look forward to doing things with them. Neither your family nor your job should take priority over the other. You do what things you have to do and when it is time for one or the other than you should focus on that. Treat other people’s money like it is your own and you will build trust and respect. The ability to persevere is extremely important. Wait for the right deal at the right time. Recovering from a bad deal can be far more destructive and difficult to recover from than just waiting for a good deal in the first place. Your relationship with your family, friends, God, and your faith that will set your mark and make the difference.
