Figuring out the right branding technique is a most difficult experience. I have had to come up with countless logo's and so forth and getting business partners to sign off on them is actually very difficult. Having partners makes opening the business much more difficult than I expected. They all have there own opinions and so forth. I almost wish that I could just say that I dont need them but that could not be further from the truth. Without this group of friends I doubt that this business would be becoming much more than just a dream.

Hello Everyone

My mentorshipis most likely a little different from yours as I am almost taking my like an

independent study. My mentor is Dr. Millar and he and I have come up with a unique way of fullfilling my mentorships hours. He is helping/instructing me on how to write a business plan for my own businesss that I hope to start by next year. We started this deiscussion back in February I think and I have to do the same things you guys do I just do not go to an actual "job". It is more difficult than I thought because of all the research that I have had to do alone without having someone right there to guide me. I have had to do interviews, read books, write the actual buisness plan, and a plethora of other things as well. I hope you all are enjoying your mentorships and I hope you enjoy learning about my new business.
