Hacking My Education

On our first day back we had a little conversation about how this semester is going to go. Its going to be more focused on our masterpieces and writing where in a instance we are going to be teaching the class. I hope this semester go's good because its out last semester of highsschool so I am planning on ending it with a bang!

Winter Break

1) My topic is Business and entrepreneurship, but at the same time somehow connected to golf. So to start off I have been selling golf clubs on ebay as well as golf grips. So far it has been a little slow but I have made profit so that's a good thing. The next step for me is to try and get these clubs into Major Golf stores such as GolfSmith and Roger Dunn. I was never really interested in business until a month ago when i got introduced to these golf clubs. A Family friend designed and created them. the clubs look like feet since the "foot" is often the 15th club in your bag.
2) I came to be very interested in my topic because first of all I love golf, but second of all its fun to do all the research and see if what your buying whole sale is going to sell, and if I am going to make my money back. So I guess you could say I like the risk.
3) Learning more about the business world will help steer me in a path where I will be happy with what I am doing for the rest of my life.
4) For this the skills needed are math, of course business classes and being able to pitch your product so people will want to buy it.
5) I have already started learning about it through some family friends but the next step is to get in touch with someone Dr. Preston is hooking me up with to learn more.
6) Well one thing that would help is a big budget it is hard to make money if you don't have a lot of money to invest into buying product. Also, big names would help get some commercials and sponsors from professional golfers. I think it would also be a great help to meet some entrepreneurs such as Rob Dyrdek.
7) I do not know how exactly I am going to get my masterpiece across I thinks it is going to be a mix of videos and pictures showing milestones in my beginnings for instance first sell 25th sell etc.
