I put my own twist on this assignment. Instead of choosing typical experts that would basically have the same insight on business plans, I tailored it to fit the industry of my business. My two experts were 50 Cent and Jay-Z, both from very humble beginnings, got their start from their success in music and are well-respected businessmen. From these two experts I learned that aiming high and diversification is key. Having one business idea is fine, but being able to use that idea as a catalyst for another (or a few other) business plan would open so many more doors. Also, creating a solid brand can create a lot of opportunity and business ventures. With that in mind, image, product quality and consistency are that much more important when running a business.
8th Leadership Activity: Became co-chair of Cotton Club committee for BSU’s Black History Month Event’s
With Black History Month soon approaching, BSU (Black Student Union) started planning for the events we would host so that the month could be observed campus-wide. One of the events is called the “BSU Cotton Club” (which is a rendition of the club venue in Harlem from the 1920s) and will be held on February 25, 2011. I have taken on the role as co-chair of this event, which made me partly responsible for the coordination and execution of the event.
A BSU member or a general Full Sail University student will fill every role in this event like: musician, singer/rapper, host, stage manager, usher, greeter, etc. Aside from the co-chair position, I also have taken on the main stage manager position and coordinator of the music component of the show.
