Wednesday, March 18th - Gursahib Singh

Wednesday was a big day for all of us. It was our last full day to work with our new entrepreneurs. Having met Abigail (owner of Sol Y Luna) just two days earlier, we had a lot of work to do. The past few days had been spent understanding the business, analyzing problems and brainstorming solutions; it was time to finally develop our deliverables and implement our solution.

Our group split up into two teams to work on our two separate deliverables. The marketing majors of our group went to work on launching a web-marketing campaign for Sol y Luna which included a Facebook page, a Google plus account, and a website. The accounting and finance majors of our group (which included myself) went to work on organizing her budgeting, financing, and scheduling. For the rest the day our respective teams worked tirelessly on creating various excel spreadsheets, Google documents, and webpages. After a short lunch break, we went back to work, yet again.

After hours of working our team met up, worked out the final details, and reviewed and tested our deliverables. It had been a long day and although we were excited to be done, we were even more excited to present our deliverable the following morning. After observing Abigail and her receptionist record appointments, costs, revenue on paper we were confident that our Excel sheets would save her a lot of time and effort and that our website would attract even more customers. That night we slept well knowing the next day we would be able to implement our solutions and more importantly, make a difference- no matter how small- in someone else’s life.
