Assignment Name: Business Plan
Reflective Prompt: What was your business plan? How does it serve to the community? What did you learn from economics? What was most challenging to you in completing this plan?

In economics class we had to come up with a business plan. This business plan was supposed to be something that you came up with and you were able to do this project with someone else. I chose Aziezah Dang to be my partner because she is one of my close friends and I thought we would come up with something good. Our business idea was photography. We had to take pictures for special events and we also had to edit pictures with photoshop. We could fix pictures for the customers wants and have them made as they desire. We decided to do this as our business plan because it is something we can both do, and because we enjoy it as well. We have experience with photoshop and I have taken a class called "computer art" in school. This business will serve people which want pictures taken on their special day, get a good deal, for a very good reasonable price.

By doing this project, I've learned the meaning of entrepreneurship. I never knew what entrepreneurship meant, and I had never heard of it in my life. Entrepreneurship is a new and different way of doing something. Knowing what it means will always stay with me and it will help me out in the long run if I ever wanted to turn this plan into my real life business, because I would know the basics of starting your own business. The business plan we did was difficult in many ways. It was hard to decide what to do, how much we were charging and how much we were going to spend on buying the supplies needed to make it successful. It was a very complicated process to actually finish this project. Overall, I enjoyed doing it, but it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be, but I've learned something valuable.
