I was able to visit Tulsa, Oklahoma, this past weekend, and it was a great experience! I went with one of my mentors, who had to give a speech at a conference. My job was to drive us down to Tulsa, and then drive us back. The drive was a total of five and a half hours, so it was a large amount of driving for two days.
Trust Me, The Learning Curve Exists
When running my business, nothing hit me harder than the learning curve. And nothing could have prepared me for it, either.
The Art of the Business Card
A business card is extremely important for your business’s success. With your business card, you’re allowing your business to make a first impression, and if you’re trying to impress a potential client, mentor or investor, you want to have a business card that stands out.
The Importance of Media
Whether you’re a tech junkie or a technophobe, you’re eventually going to have to use some technology for your business.
I had to learn this lesson this week for my business, Tidy Tigers Cleaning. We weren’t able to spend much time cleaning houses, but we definitely spent a ton of time working on our marketing, technical and organizational systems for the business.
The MBA Dilemma
I’ve spent these past few weeks wondering about life after college. This time next year, I’ll be graduating, which is a little terrifying. Also, it’s led to some confusion over what I should be doing about college. Should I get an MBA? Should I get work experience? Should I go MIA and backpack across Europe for a year?
Sales Retreat!
I was able to go on a sales retreat yesterday through the Entrepreneurship Alliance, and it was an amazing experience! The retreat lasted for nearly six hours, and during that time, we were able to learn about the different aspects of selling products and services.
My Week in Omaha, Nebraska
I’ve spent the last week in Omaha, Nebraska, where I led a trip for Mizzou Alternative Breaks. The trip was an absolute blast, and since this has been the main focus of my week, I thought I’d write a blog about it.
New Opportunities
The main venture that I worked on this week was a cleaning business. Yes, a cleaning business. Sounds fun, right? Well, it actually is (surprisingly). There’s a large amount of work that goes into it, but it’s worth it in every way.
An Interview with Connor Hall
I met with MU student Connor Hall this week. He’s the president for MU Entrepreneurs, and he’s a member of the Entrepreneurship Alliance. I asked him about his experiences with entrepreneurship, his advice for entrepreneurs and where he sees himself in the future. Listen below to see what he had to say. Feel free to leave comments below!
Resources for Local Entrepreneurs
I thought I’d make a quick link for those of you who are in need of more resources or who want more help starting your business. As a Mizzou student, I’ll try to include resources outside my university.
