I can see growth through this semester in ways I didn't think I would. Being able to say that I have learned how to sell a product with my words I feel is extremely valuable. There is nothing better than to understand your product like the back of your hand so when questions come to you, you have the answer. I feel that when we had to extensively talk about our product the last time and describe it in much detail was when it all clicked for me. Though I felt that I had said the same things through out the semester, I never put them all into one place. So having all my advantages of my product in one blog eliminates more questions about the details. I feel as if I have learned a great deal of being an  entrepreneur. With out this course I wouldn't be able to place thoughts of mine in this kind of scenario. I would advise others who have a business mind to take this course and challenge yourself into learning about a desire and about yourself.

When people can go to a local golf course and feel as if they are playing on a professional course, that unexpected reality is one that super independents world wide seek for. They have such a tough job on having to create a playing environment that isn't expensive in most cases but also prime. Prime conditions on a local course is relatively rare in a lot of places, but with my product I would want to bring that expectation a reality. With my fertilizer that is environmentally friendly (extremely important these days) is one that won't be the cheapest on the block but one that will last much longer. When you use my fertilizer you will have to pay about 5-10 dollars more per 50 lbs but in the grand scheme of things, the longevity of my fertilizer will beat out any competitor out in the market. This meaning that the controlled releasing fertilizer will be used and spread out fewer times per year, making you not have to purchase as many applications. This is something that people...

my exit strategy would be to either sell the company in 5 years or keep it in the family for years. There is a debate only because I would have to see where I am in those first five years and determine whether it would be smart to stay or leave. I obviously would love to keep it long term and work My way up to the top of the chain and have a sustaining business. That just may not be feasible and it will be a decision based off of facts. Either would be considered a success though because no matter what I did what I set out to do. Nobody stopped me and it was on my terms, not all businesses are there forever so selling out wouldn’t crush my spirits but comfort me in the sense that somebody wants to continue to use my idea. Having it in the family though for years after I left would also be something special because I would have the knowledge of being on top and having that satisfaction.

How to fail at everything and still win was a book to teach you how to see the world a little bit differently. Understanding that failures will come in life and that doesn’t mean you can’t reach your goals. Everything is possible until you stop going after your goals. There were three main points I took away from this book. They are: Goals have two inherent flaws, so build systems instead. Wherever you’re most comfortable taking risks, that’s where you should apply for jobs. To find your own energy schedule, think of activities in terms of space and time. I encourage everyone to read this book to uplift your moral on what you think you want to do.

Failure is one of those things that is among the inevitable. The thing about failing is how you respond to it. There is plenty of reason to be upset with it and not learn from it. But the ideal scenario is to take the ways from failing and apply it in a way that you will be successful in the future. There have been many times in my life we’re I have failed and failed miserably, but I have never let those failures define who I am. To bring a relative topic of failing, I failed to submit two discussion posts due to procrastination and a full work schedule that I was focusing on more than school. Missing those discussions only made me focus more on this class so I can complete it with a passing grade that is subjected to the effort I really put in. Learning from screw ups and doing your best to decimate them is the only thing to do. Grow, don’t go backwards.

After talking with interviewers in the golf market and describing what I was offering, to m surprise they didn't have much to add to my concept. They agreed that the product was going to be valuable with the long lasting release and also they thought the idea of making money down the road would be beneficial. The super independents number ne concern was for me to not try and get 100% of the courses business because just like I am a business, they are too. They may enjoy the product and all the features it brings but they still have a budget each year. They will most likely average out the percent of business they give me at around 60%. If I can reach that for each golf course I tend to then I will be doing well along with them reaching their budget. This is something I don't necessarily agree with but was surprised to their response. They still would give business to others to me seems like to simply keep them in business as well. They don't want a monopoly agency out the...

24- Conner Fertilizer

Tour like golf courses are what every individual who plays the sport likes to see in their local course. Though that may not be a complete possibility due to budgets and number of course workers, the best play for your dollar can be achieved easily. There are many formulas for fertilizer out there in this world. Not many would come to the average persons head when asked, but let me introduce you to my product. My fertilizer has a product called polyon, polyon is a fertilizer that is coated with an environmentally friendly coating and that coating is bonded together by heat process to the actual fertilizer so there is no air space in-between the coating and product. This gives us a lot of room to play with due to the fact that it will be controlled releasing and a much longer release than competitors. Due to the fact that the release points last longer, the number of applications per year will be shrunk compared to competitors. Let's say that we compare two fertilizer products, one ...
