September

1. September Abby Oyer

2. Mentor • I collaborated with my mentor by telling her about my project and how I want to run my business. The next time I meet up with my mentor, she is going to help me start an eBay page. We discussed ways to save money while buying products, and where the best places are to buy materials. We started to order the things we need for the first couple of products. The first time we met, we mostly discussed a “business plan”.

3. What I learned • I learned how to save money by buying the materials, selling them for a decent amount of money, and still making a good profit. I also learned the best ways to buy materials. I will have an eBay store, so I learned a lot about how to set that up, but I haven't learned how to run the eBay store by myself yet! I learned how important it is to always have enough product in “stock”. I have already learned a lot, but I need to learn much more.

4. Pictures • I didn’t take any pictures while meeting up with my mentor. • I ordered the materials but they have not arrived.

5. Goals for Next Month • My goals for next month are to start designing my first couple of products. I will also start my eBay store, and price my products when they are finished. I want to at least sell 2 items at the least. I want to be able to run the eBay store by myself. I will also need to figure out an organization system for the orders. I want to defiantly have my eBay store running.
