The excerpt from The New Business Road Test is about the necessary steps and thoughts that need to be accounted for  before starting a business venture. It talks about giving your opportunity a road test before even developing a business plan. The book tries to uncover fatal flaws in your opportunity and whether you can fix these flaws or to just abandon the plan before wasting the time and energy. It talks mainly about three factors, the market, the industry, and the entrepreneurial team. How the micro and macro are both important to look at in industry and market factors and why the entrepreneurial team is so important. The excerpt gets you to seriously consider how to be a smart entrepreneur and not be blind to flaws. To look and see if the flaws can actually be fixed and look to see where opportunity can be found. That being flexible and seeing and being open to opportunity can be the best outcome.

I had a lot of iterations but I narrowed it down. I feel my favorite one is the first and then it goes down from there.

Born in 1988 in America, Jason Alvarado is a Spanish-American architect with interests in fashion and furniture. His main inspiration is fashion in architecture and the overlap between both disciplines. His style of work and design process is known for pure aesthetics and affect. “Design without fear, provoke strong opinions, design to be talked about” – Jason Alvarado. The designer produces his creations using simple and sophisticated forms while maintaining a strong sense of awe factor.

At a young age he interned at 2005 AIA National Firm award recipients, Lake|Flato Architects Inc. in San Antonio, Texas. To this date Jason has interned at four firms, two architecture and two engineering. The designer continues his handmade humidor and jewelry box creations for high-society clients.
