So far the services we are offering in the community park is yielding fruitful result. The kids are doing their best in collecting every bin after community game or activity. Challenges: Though we had an encounter with some of the community leaders as some of them were not informed of our services, and that the project was suspended for two weeks. So far, every issue has been resolved and are in full operation. The money we were hoping to generate were not forth coming as expected, but we are working hard to resolve that challenge and hopping we will be on the part of profitability.

 

Today my journal entry will focus on what starts the cycle of mediocrity in our work places and what can be done to solve such situation when it occurs which happens to a number of businesses. HMM talks about two factors that bring about mediocrity and they are low employee job satisfaction and high employee turnover which can cause sales and profits to plummet. This in turn brings poor service attitudes and leads to low customer satisfaction. Investing in training as a business is a sure way that skills and tools they need to perform their jobs well are provided and that they are able to use those skills and tools provided satisfactorily. A degree of latitude gives them the power and responsibility to make quick decisions and to recover decisively from mistakes. My $100 project is progressing steadily and everything is on cause.

ELEVATOR PITCH

When one is trying to raise money for his/her business or wants to perfect his/her business, the strategy is elevator pitch, As I studied the elevator pitch instructions given to us by our instructor, my mine came back to what I have already learned some years back “Me in 30 seconds”. A solid elevator pitch is an essential tool for achieving our goals in entrepreneurship. I thought of it as an executive summary that provides a quick overview of my business and its details. My "Pitch" focused on my "Big Idea" with the company name C-COMM. It covered a brief idea summary of my company, business concept, model and customers. When one identify a problem that is worth solving or the product/service we have identify does not solve a problem, then there is no market for the product.

Elder James E. Faust talked about opening the windows of heaven which gave me an insight as to the need of paying an honest tithing. As he was a boy he learned a great lesson of faith and sacrifice. What made him learned these lessons, is all about paying tithe. His father paid his honest tithe with the best stand of hay when their cattle’s had nothing to feed on. This is an indication of great faith and sacrifice. How many of us can exhibit this kind of faith?

Elder Wirthlin also encouraged us to stay out of debt and to pay honest tithe, continue to save, spend less than what we earn, honor our financial obligation etc. we need to be faithful in doing all these things thought by the elder. My $100 project is ongoing. I have been able to secure funding from my own savings for the project and hope by his grace the project will succeed.
