New Challenge


          This week I received a nice challenge from my teacher from BYU Idaho, this challenge is called U$ 100,00 challenge project! Here are some instructions about this project:

“In preparation for starting your $100.00 Challenge Project, you will choose a Kiva borrower that you would like to support. This project is a unique opportunity for you to experience entrepreneurship. It will give you the opportunity to apply what you are learning in this class and to get a taste of what being a small-scale entrepreneur is like. Being a successful entrepreneur means being creative and resourceful. This project will require both creativity and resourcefulness. By donating your profits to Kiva, this project will also give you experience as a social entrepreneur.”

          Another important characteristic of this project is that you cannot start with more than U$ 20,00! Yes, twenty dollars!

          It could be a simple project as sell some candies or “just a lemonade table” but I have a big project that I am afraid to start, so I saw in this project (U$ 100,00 challenge project) a great opportunity to start in small scale, to test and evaluate if it will be profitable or not, if there will be interested people to make these procedures and so on.

          The project consists in sell anti-aging aesthetic services.  Let me tell you, how this idea started. My wife is pharmacist, and she took specialization in anti-aging cosmetology formulation. She realized that the anti-aging cosmetics are expensive and the cost of production is about 20%, and just using the anti-aging cosmetics is not enough to have great results. To improve the cosmetics results we need some treatments together, such as facial peeling, dermal-needling, among others. Our project consists in provide services, to maximize the effects of the cosmetics, that will be prescribed by her and that the client will buy in a pharmacy.

          In the future, she will have the cosmetics with her own brand and formulation, but so far we will provide just the services because we have just U$ 20,00 to expend! Next weeks I will describing here in this blog how the things are going, our progress, fails, profits and losses. I hope you enjoy! Any questions, suggestions or comments please let me know.



I´ll see you soon!

Você Não Estava Preparado?

No Brasil nosso índice de mortalidade de empresas vem diminuindo, porém, em janeiro de 2019, o Boa Vista divulgou uma pesquisa apontando que em 2018, 96,5% das empresas do país que entraram em processo de falência eram Pequenas Empresas. O processo de falência, não significa necessariamente a morte da empresa. No entanto, aponta para o fato de a empresa possuir diversos problemas financeiros e estruturais. Contudo, em uma visão geral o número total de empresas que pediram falência em 2018, foi 13% menor do total de 2017. Já outro dado do IBGE aponta que o Brasil fechou mais de 316 mil empresas nos últimos 4 anos . Esse dado não esta contando o ano de 2020 onde devido à pandemia o número tem subido muito. Quando você decide empreender e fazer seus planos, você normalmente vê e imagina o lado bom das coisas, e tem que ser assim, com certeza! Mas analisando friamente fatos e dados, acredito ser muito importante colocar nos planos de todo o empreendedor um plano de saída do negócio, para ...

U$ 100,00 Challenge, WEEK ONE

          Last week I wrote about the project we would start and today I will report how was it. We start to offer our services, ( when I say our is because its me and my wife, she is the person who "knows the things", I am the person who "manage and sell" ) and we have some clients this week, with a considerable profit. In every business my hint is always have someone who "knows the things" and other who "sell the things" it is possible to have both in a single person, but to execute both functions is very difficult, so in our case we decided to separate the functions. we both have to know about products and how to sell it but each one execute one specific function.           This week I read about how important is the name of your company, and how the entrepreneurs let to choose the name of his or her company as the last part of the process. We worried about the business plan, budget, partnerships, clients among many others and we le...
