Throughout my life I have always wanted to own my own business, It has been a dream of mine due to the fact that when you own your own business you feel a sense of satisfaction and pride. When you start out small with just a few employees, and the basic neccecities you need to start up your own business and you work your way up to a multi million dollar organization you feel as if you accomplished something in your life. Before this class I wasn't sure how to even begin creating and managing my own company or where to start mentally. My friends dad started up this multi million dollar company "Game Gaurd", which is a camoflauge used by hunters all around the world. He started out by going out to his land in South Texas, setting out a chair, and drawing what he saw around him, such as cactus, weeds, brush, ect.. before this he was not an entreprenuer he just felt like making his own camoflauge because he thought it was a cool idea, he had no intentions of creating a successful company out of it. While reading chapter 1 my mind really opened up to the fact that maybe one day I could work with him, possibly even open a gamegaurd up out here. It gave me the guidlines to what it takes to become a top of the line manager, reading through the chapter showed me that I need to plan : make goals, Organize : group, Staff : People, Lead : Motivate, Control : regulate. These are just a few basics to becoming a great manager/owner but as I read and learn about business management and ownership something that I thought I would never achieve in my lifetime could indeed be in my near future.

Great job Cooper. Interesting about your friend's dad's company. That is how big businesses start - with simple ideas and big dreams.
