Entrepreneur Journal - Entry 5 (B283)



This week has been a tough one. I’ve been very sick. However, when I was finally able to get to the reading assignments I found lots of great information. I especially liked the article “In Praise of the Purple Cow”. Of course, Seth Godin is one of my favorite authors of business books so how could it not have been a great article! Godin talks about creating remarkable products that customers seek out. Once you’ve created something remarkable you need to milk it for all it’s worth and build an environment where you’re likely to create another Purple Cow.

As for my $100 Venture I finished my third batch of product (my last batch of Valentine banners.) I’ve had requests for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, 4th of July, and Happy Birthday banners. I also got a custom order for a Wedding banner. I’m excited to design and create these, but whether or not I can right now depends on how well I can get through my school work. This semester is a tough one for me. I don’t know if it’s the school work or my family life that is making it tough. All I know is I’m getting burned out which is something I never wanted to happen.
