Senior Project and ESLRs
1. Being an Effective Learner
2. Being a florist with my mother not only enhances my creativity on floral designs but my creativity in promotions and facebook ads. I have to be creative and always learning what creative image i want in order to appeal to the population. I also know i have to learn more, not just for the senior project but also for my mother and how i can be a great asset to her business to help the entire family.
3.

https://www.facebook.com/IDontCurr (although it didnt really move a lot, i have one more plan that my research helped me understand to move my company forward by the end of the year?
I also made arrangements, but we dont really document those because they are small and a little unamazing. Some of the arrangements i made are on the fb page. The most recent being the valentines ones. I also decorate halls and those examples are also on the page.

2-Hour Meeting Answer #3
1. What is the best way to sustain a profitable flower shop?
2. In order to know how to sustain a sound business foundation, you must know what type of business it is
3. *There are various models of business:
- Sole-proprietorship
-Corporatjons
- Limited Partnerships
*Knowing the difference is key because it limits you to what you can and cant do
*The advantages of each one is crucial and how taxes are paid is the most important thing.
4. My research helped me:
Reuting, Jennifer. "Entity Types: Which One Is Best for Business?" Entity Types: Which One Is Best for Business? MyLLC, 2012. Web. 26 Oct. 2012. <http://www.myllc.com/entity-types.aspx>.
"Types of Corporations." STCIG.com. STC, 20 Mar. 2007. Web. 31 Oct. 2012. <http://www.stcsig.org/cic/onlinebook/chapter_20/c20c.htm>.
"Incorporating Your Business." Entrepreneur. N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Feb. 2013. <http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/77730>.
5. What i plan to research next is understanding better each entity and how the advantages work towards the little companies and why the bigger companies all have corporations.

2-Hour Meeting Answer #2
1. What is the best way to sustain a profitable flower shop?
2. In order to sustain a profitable flower shop, one needs to have a sound business foundation. Without one, well, the business will never get any better and or will not last.
3. What kind of business is it? A sole proprietorship or a partnership? What permits are needed? Are you being realistic with the costs and profits?
4. Virgin King by Tim. My mentor and entrepreneur.com
5. I would then focus a lot more on the foundation to start any business. Something that would apply to any field of business. Checking out a few books will allow me to see it in action.

Senior Project Update
(1)
I am currently at a standstill with my independent component. I need to wait to get into the class. I will be allowed to get into the class in the middle of December and will have no problem completing the thirty hour requirement. In the meantime, however, i have been working long hours with my mentor, not only doing flowers but also understanding the financial side of things. I am also working on the Facebook page which will be up soon (www.facebook.com/miasfiore)
(2)
I was on entrepreneur.com looking for a couple of articles. But for some reason the popular articles that day were about online businesses, how they are the best. I thought these articles were useless because i was dealing with a flower shop, a local flower shop. When my mother asked me to place an order to a customer via email i was thinking well if the customer could see the design already on a Facebook page then we would save a lot of time, and not only does that customer get to see it but others who like the page can see it as well. The article "How to start a Business Online" was extremely helpful because it broke everything down. Including networking. Now i am building the Facebook page for the local flower shop.

Mias Fiore , this is the facebook page i started to build. I will progressively add pictures to it. As soon as i get into the floral class i will add some pictures of the work i do there, :)

Blog 2: Topic Choice
A. What is your topic and why?
My topic, at this moment, is flowers, or flower business administration. I chose this topic because my mother is a very creative and motivating person. I just cannot get enough of her and since it is the family business it was very easy for me to choose it.Not only that but flowers are also very romantic and i would like to know more. To add to the administration aspect, I want to look at how a successful business is supposed to run.
B. And what do you hope to accomplish this year with this topic (connecting your answer to each of the 4 ESLRs).

B. And what do you hope to accomplish this year with this topic (connecting your answer to each of the 4 ESLRs).
- iPoly Citizen: I plan to learn how to take criticism from customers and my mother. This is good for me to learn this because iPoly's grading system is very straight forward and it criticises your work and i have to learn how to take it.
- Effective Communicator: I will learn how to speak to all the different customers and how to get a point across while also learning how to listen to them. In order to be an effective communicator, you have to learn how to talk to a person and just as important, listen to them.
- Effective Learner: I also will attempt to learn everything my mom does. From the budget to the actual flower arrangements, it will be a lot of information but in order to become an effective learner i have to ask questions and pay very close attention at what she has to tell me.
- Effective User of Technology: While my mom has clients that she receives through the store, she also receives them through email, I will be taking care of that. Also, i will use the tools the flowers require which not only makes technology on the computer but hands-on. This, in turn, will teach me different functions on technology and also help me upload information i need for this blog.
