Week 10

This week there has been no progress with my $100 challenge. I haven’t had time to change anything, and I still just have some Google ads running, a website, and my product on Amazon. I really thought this would be a lot easier. But I have only made one sale thus far. At this point I don’t know what else to change, so I have stopped developing.

One of the things I learned this past week was how important it is to have a passion for your business. I am starting work at a Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt, it is a franchise, and I have had the opportunity to talk to the owner a lot. This is the second franchise he has owned and the third business he owns. He started telling me about why he chose this particular franchise. It is because Menchie’s motto is that they don’t sell yogurt, they sell smiles. It is a company owned by a religious family, and it is all about helping people and helping people smile. And Jim, the owner, was very passionate about that. You could see that passion transfer to everything he did in the store, and even to employees. It was really neat to see that an owners passion really can impact a business.
