Things I Would Not Buy Online.

Buying things and spending money has never been easier. I could buy something on amazon right now and get it tomorrow with little to know effort. But safe to say I have brought a lot of things online from clothes to shoes and tables and chairs. I have even bought technology such as tablets and laptops online from amazon and various tech stores. That being said a few things that I would not buy online is for one big household appliances, because well their expensive and a pain to return. Things like couches, TVs, dining room sets is something I would not buy online, even they are offered and I'm sure others do. Another thing I would not buy online is a car. I don't think that requires any explanation other than, well it’s a car. the Last thing I wouldn't buy online is a house or land. I think it’s kind of a given why, the most likely reason being that a house is a huge purchase and pictures are often changed and altered. And buying land online is probably a very dumb idea because the factors and reasons you want the land and the qualifications you want it to meet can't be verified by descriptions you have to see it in person. Those are my top three things I would not buy online I wouldn't recommend anyone else buying those online either because in this day and age its easy to get scammed and these sort off big purchases where things are too good to be true are the main ways we get played.

Guest Speaker #2: Brian Forth

Brian Forth was the name of our guest speaker this week. He is the CEO of a company called SiteCrafting.  SiteCrafting was a company that started after the Dotcom bubble. Brian Forth created the site at that time  allowing SiteCrafting to have an advantage. Brian's   company has been around for about 20 years, they have had to survive competing against larger companies in the world. and for as long as this company has been in the game they only have 15 - 20 employees. The way they had managed to accomplish that was to make sure that they were in multiple different markets. Another tactic Forth uses is getting clients through referrals and also keeping clients longterm and maintaining relationships. That was also a contributing factor   in how the company stayed afloat during the pandemic. Since they had their clients ranged from different industries such as l ike hospitals, banks, zoos, cities, etc.  Another interesting fact I learned is that Brian Forth has a rule of not having mo

Startup.com

Kaleil Tuzman and Tom Herman star in startup.com a documentary about them starting a company govWorks.com, it’s rise,challenges and its ultimate end.   The documentary we watched in class (startup.com ) was very interesting. Seeing how a startup company developed from being just an idea to arguing about a name to buying out partners and to multi million dollar company.it seemed so easy to start business at that time. The documentary also showed the ups and downs of starting a business especially in partnership with other individuals. One the most interesting parts of the documentary was when Tom was fired. It wasn’t really a surprise because of the way they disagreed on a lot of things and with the way the business was heading. I thinks that one of the contributing factors of it not working out was that there were alot of competition and the market was saturated. Maybe things would have worked out if they could have expanded to other things or adapted used their lead to their advantage

A Visit From Erik Hanberg

    I learned a lot from Erik Hanberg's visit. He spoke about his books, and it was amazing to hear how lucrative self-publishing is. It had me thinking about maybe publishing my own book and seeing the experiences firsthand. It was also very interesting to hear the many projects he is a part of and how it helped him grow. Being an entrepreneur is something and starting my own business is something I've always wanted to do. And something I am planning to do; I have helped start a few businesses with my brothers and help run them right now, but I want to start and run one myself. One thing I found interesting is that he had a backup plan for his books just in case Amazon changes up its algorithm and he doesn’t get as much traction. This was interesting to me because it cemented in the fact that you should never get too reliant and should always prepare to be able to cover your basis. Another thing I noticed is that in order to be successful you have to try and fail and keep on t
