Part 1. Reading
Read the following excerpt from John Mullin’s book The New Business Road Test. This introductory text outlines the important factors an entrepreneur should consider in order to predict their chances for success. If you are interested to read more, this book is on reserve in the library for overnight loans. After you’ve finished reading, write a 5 sentence summary of the text. Print this text and bring it to class next week. If you are curious to learn about corporate structures – the difference between a sole proprietorship, LLC, LLP, etc, I’ve included an overview here, excerpted from The Small Business Start-Up Guide, by Robert Sullivan.
Part 2. Final Project
Continue working on the materials required for the end of the semester:
- Professionally printed business cards (at least enough to share with the rest of the class)
- Presentation quality printed resume
- Portfolio website
- Printed bio with professional quality headshot/portrait
- presentation quality printed sample portfolio*
* Your sample portfolio will be representative of a layout, print quality, binding technique, typography, etc – in other words “design” – that can expand to accommodate your work next semester and beyond. For the purposed of this assignment, your sample portfolio should include 4 projects.
