I must say that the semester looked a lot different than I imagined. I was challenged to derive a business out of thin air using my passion and my knowledge. Then I was challeneged to actually formulate what it was; to come up with business plans, spread sheets, presentations to investors.
What I orginally imagined was a pretty easy semester with practical tips to save myself in a changing journalistic world. In a way, that was true. But it was much more than that. I learned what it takes to be a businessman. To devote time, money, energy, and hope to a company that may never give a return.
I give a big thank you to my retiring professor, Mr. Sandy Marsters, for asking me to do projects I didn't want to do at first. In the end, I think it was a good investment.
