We have ordered a lot of items for our business and when I see these items arrive at my house I get excited because everything is coming together week by week. Since we’re having a website, we need pictures of our products so we decided that it would be cheaper in the long run if we bought a white and black backdrop and photography lights. I have a nice camera that I could borrow from a photography class at my school so that’s not a problem. If we hired someone to take our pictures it would become a daily expense that we could eliminate. That’s that. I’m kind of in a rush to finish my journal because we’re meeting with our model in a bit to take pictures. We’re trying to get a lot of things finished because we have deadlines that we must meet in order to accomplish goals we set. We are still waiting on a couple things to come in the mail that are urgent but that’s out of our control. Also, we have talked as a group and we thought that it'd be best to not invest a lot of money into our booth since we have a lot of other expenses/loans we have to cover. Our booth is still going to look presentable don't get me wrong, but it’s not going to be something crazy. We already spent the $100 for the booth on our banner but we are going to buy table cloths and other small but decorative items. We are thinking of having complimentary bottled water for any person that walks up to our booth. We have a lot of ideas in mind for our booth. All I know is that we’ve been real busy lately but personally, I absolutely love it.

The things I learned this week from the visits to MCR Technologies and Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce and the talk with Kris were actually a ton. Lets start off with MCR Technologies. I was considering going back to learn more about Mr. Humphreys' products and to talk about future plans for his company. Personally, I want to minor in Computer Science and thought that Weigh Shark was something to definitely pay attention to. Also, Mr. Humphreys was very passionate in what he does which also attracted my attention because I want to be as passionate and love what I do in the future just like he does. He's a great example of a person who loves what they do. I enjoyed when he was explaining how he is ahead of his competitors because of the new technology they have integrated to their products. He stated that they are the only company with this new technology which puts you way, way ahead of the others. I loved the way he spoke to the class and how he utilized precise details when talking about his products and what he does.
