No, I’m not talking about the apocalypse, I’m talking about the eventual end of my Business 283 class through BYU-I. It has been a great journey filled with a lot of lessons and some exciting opportunity.
First, I would like to give a final run down on my business. The Stickr Company did very well and I was able to make a $135 worth of profit after my initial invest costs of $20. I was able to learn lessons from bootstrapping a business from the ground up. It goes to show how with a little effort we can do great things. I know $135 doesn’t sound like much, but it felt great. And then to be able to give that profit back to someone who needs it in order to start their own dreams is amazing. It really put my life and what I’m doing in perspective.
I also learned many things about persistence and hard work through this class. I am currently working full time and a new job, sold my business, umpiring baseball and softball, going to school full time, being the president of the baseball and softball association, and being a husband and father of four. It is a busy time in my life, but through hard work, planning and dedication, I know we can all do the things we set our minds to!
