I started up a popcorn business with a friend of mine in which we were able to sell out of stock in the first hour. In the journey of starting up this business, I learned many new skills and techniques that helped me grow and understand more about commerce. The following are just a few things I was able to pick up on when I started the business :
- Self-motivated, with a strong sense of personal responsibility.
- Worked effectively in fast-paced environments.
- Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
- Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations.
- Learned to handle money, and know how much product to buy based on our budget.
- Managed time efficiently to complete all tasks within deadlines.
- Paid attention to detail while completing assignments.
- Learnt how to effectively start up the bussiness while only given a 5 week deadline
