I really enjoyed this week of CEO. It's funny how just talking to someone can open up to many different ideas! I have been really marketing myself and my lawn care business these past couple weeks. I have come to realization that if you take the initiative to just simply talk to someone it can go a far way. For instance I was depositing some money at the bank yesterday and I introduced myself and my business to the teller. Come to find out that her and her husband had just bought a new house and now have a rental that needs mowing every week. So of course I gave her my card. I know we talk about it a lot in CEO that you never know who you are going to to meet and connections are a huge part of business. Simply talking to anyone and everyone has been the greatest way to increase my clientele. I feel as if my generation lacks the skill to just make small talk with people. I love the fact that you never know what could come out of it. I think the main 3 aspects to a successful business is 1. A Hard work ethic 2. Communication with your customers/customer service 3. A well done quality job. If you have those three aspects in your business, the sky is the limit.

What a busy week we had this week! I enjoyed every minute of it. Making the pies was probably a defining moment for our class! We had a task to complete and we only had so much time to complete it. It was super fun and I think it brought out a lot of our personalities! For instance, I didn’t think any of us guys would have ever been able to bake a pie, let alone 3 pies! But, we did it! The Chamber Dinner I think overall was a success, I got compliments from about 5 people on how great of a job we did! I think to improve, we could have out sourced all of our tasks and have each individual assigned to a certain task. At times, we would just have people standing around and we shouldn't have that with proper planning. Overall, I think we did very well!
