What we did (process)? 

At the start of our $20 BOSS journey, we had many different ideas on what to sell. Our first idea was to do a cake decorating company where we would decorate cakes for parties, but we quickly realized that it was not such a great idea. Our second and final idea was to make handmade, vet-approved dog treats that we called paws up. As a group, we worked hard and figured out all our expenses. We first came up with ideas of recipes that would appeal to all the dogs and a recipe that would be healthy for dogs. We wanted to make treats that would be organic with no harmful chemicals that may harm a dog. We also wanted to make a cute front design to appeal the adults buying the treats for their dogs as they would not be consuming the treats.

What have we learned?

Something that I learned is that people will buy a product when they are prices are high because people want your business to succeed. I have also learned is that you have been a good team if you want to succeed in a business. Your team will have some ups and downs, but you must be strong and work through and get over what petty fight you have had with other members of your group.  

What capabilities we developed?

Some capabilities we developed in our group were teamwork, communication, problem-solving. We used all these capabilities in our group. We needed to use teamwork to be able to work efficiently in our partnerships. We developed problem-solving because we had to come up with our project idea’s, some of the ideas were copied right so we couldn’t do it we had to use problem-solving to come up with an idea that would take off.
we needed communication so we all knew what was happening within our group.
