Business & Enterprise so far

What are we learning:

I am learning to be a good entrepreneur. 

How am I progressing with my learning:


  • Identifying and managing risks to your business - I identified a risk that our original product wouldn't sell well so I told the group and we changed the product
  • Being Creative - We have been creative by making our chosen product one that no one else would make
  • Solving and preventing problems without adult assistance - We haven't come to any major  problems yet but with the minor one we solved them ourselves
  • Using your resources wisely - We used the resources we were given wisely in the situation we were in
  • Working well with others - My group has worked well with other groups when they were in trouble we helped them get out of it
  • Seeing things that need doing and doing these without being asked - We have had to be reminded a few times of what to do but otherwise, we haven't done too bad
  • Discussing things with your team - We discussed on what we should do for our advert and after that, we did the advert
  • Being fair and responsible - I was fair when I took charge of the manager and then realised no one got a choice so I stood down
  • By planning and using your time well -?

What I/My company have done so far:
My company is making eggheads. The eggheads are fully customisable and make a great decoration. If you get sick of it then you can take off the shell and eat it. We are selling them for $1.50

What we need to do next:
Next, my company needs to focus on creating our product


What you expect on market day:
I expect to sell a good amount of product and we would be lucky to sell our whole product

Statistic Investigation

For the past few weeks, we have been doing statistical investigations.

What Did I learn?
I learnt that in 2011 the population went down a lot. The most likely reason is because of the earthquakes.

What would you do differently If you did it again?
If I did this again I would choose a different topic to study and maybe choose a topic to study and a new partner

Something I am wondering or a question I have after completing this work
I am interested in how they do the census do they go to each door asking "How much people are in this house?" or do they do to the hospital and ask "How many birth certificates do you have?" That is what I'm interested in
