Ryan Greggs Inc.

On Friday April 13th I attended and event put on by Chatham's Center for Women's Entrepreneurship. The title for the event was "Managing the Business of a Social Service Non-Profit" and it was by Kathi R. Elliot. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathi-elliott-100574109/.  Obviously the focus for this event was on to how to run and manage a business of a social service non-profit. One of the biggest things I took from the event was the fact of how much you really want to help others in order to run a non-profit social service business. In relation to what we have learned in the book we know that a non-profit business does not make money through services. They don't charge for what they do. Social services are created to help people to the best of their ability and they can be quite costly at times.

I interviewed a man by the name of Matt Zanella. He is an upcoming senior accounting major. We discussed his interests, any clubs he's been apart of, and some advice in terms of portfolios and studying. To start Mr. Zanella told me that he wants to become an auditor in the future and that is why he has been very interested in accounting and business. When it came to studying he told me to make sure I learn material as it is being taught. When I do that I will retain more of what was taught. He also said to not cram. Cramming only causes stress and does not help in anyway. You may learn the stuff for the test, but you won't remember it later. The advice he gave me for building a portfolio consisted of what looks good on one. The two pieces of advice he gave me were to make sure I volunteer a lot because it looks very good! Also, he told me to try and get a leadership of some type because that also looks very good! I then read articles from http://blogs.chatham.edu/businessblog

      The main idea of this tip is to do the opposite of pretty much what we've always been taught to do when we are in a situation when we need to think of something. The article focuses on staring a brainstorming session by thinking of "The worst possible solution," first before doing anything else. By doing this you can only build up from there to make "the worst idea" better.      One thing we talked about in class is innovation. The idea of innovation is coming up with a new product, idea or method. Most of the time innovation can greatly help a business or company no matter the size. This was of thinking the article is stressing is very innovative.       We've been taught to develop the absolute best idea we can come up with first. If you do that you can't really build the ladder up any. This was of thinking allows for more input on an idea and as it grows and cannot be changed, it becomes the best possible idea.
