Blog Post Day 3

5/11/22, 22:00

Tucker and I were up at about 9:30 this morning getting ready for a shorter day of research and planning due to a baseball game in the early afternoon. We worked from about 9:30 to 12, working on solidifying our company name, setting up different softwares, and ordering some products that we need for when we clean cars. We hit a roadblock when we were finalizing a name due to the fact that our, So Fresh, So Clean, Detailing, had a very similar name in, So Fresh and So Clean Detailing, so we had to think of a new title. We settled on the name, Happy Wheels Detailing LLC, which we would advertise as this name, but shortened it to Happy Wheels for the shorter company name. We thought this provided a fun, easy way for people to remember and catch on to our name. We were also able to set up an account on Square, where we will likely run most of our finances and booking through the app. We continued on a spreadsheet we had for some of our other finances as well. We ordered some brushes and treys to help carry some of the chemical bottles which will hopefully come in late this week when we start to organize and get prepared for the actual detailing process. Overall, today was a pretty solid day in our progress and we look forward to a longer research and production day tomorrow.

    Good stuff Josh. Can you work on the formatting of this blog so it doesn't read horizontally? Keep grinding away and pushing to get as much of the backend business stuff done this week, especially that which is time sensitive like logo and t-shirt design.

Week 2 Reflection

  Week 2 Reflection: For Tucker and I, this week was mostly about actually doing the detailing process, and finalizing the last touches on our website and legal documents. We started the week by finishing the majority of the website and working on our social media accounts. We were able to finalize a logo later in the week which made completing the website and social media accounts a lot easier and made them look a lot more professional as well. For their detailing prices, I think we both did a great job of jumping back into it, and getting a feel for what we did a little bit of last summer. Earlier in the week we went around to Concord and some other places to get new chemicals, a vacuum cleaner, microfiber towels, and other various sorts of materials that we were in need of. We took some of the time when we were detailing our cars, to figure out exactly what we needed to get, what we were missing, and what we didn’t really use to come up with an efficient and effective way of d...

Blog Post Day 12

  5/21/22, 19:00 On a very warm Saturday in late May, I was surprisingly able to accomplish a good amount of work. Earlier this week we bought a smaller shop vacuum cleaner which I was able to assemble and get working this morning. I also did a little bit of organizing with the materials and supplies we have accumulated over the past couple weeks as well. Once I was done with some of the housekeeping tasks, I started to write a little bit of my self-evaluation paper so I can get ahead on that and not do it last minute. I then worked on my car a little bit as it needed some interior cleaning and wiping down from the spots I missed earlier this week and from a couple spills. Hopefully we can finalize a lot of the logistical things tomorrow and start working more on our papers and presentations as express fest approaches in a few days. I think we are in a good spot going into the last week and I’m excited to see the final product. Day Hours: 5 Total Hours: 47

Week 1 Reflection

  Week 1 Reflection: In Tucker and I’s first week on creating our business and building a business model, we were able to aspire to our desired goals and expectations. Although we got off to a slower than usual start due to AP exams, late work, and baseball, we were able to reach our expected goals for the week. We began the week by planning out our goals for our senior project and projecting how long certain things would take, while also strategizing for how we will orchestrate in the summer. Although some of our long term goals may flow into the summer, we still have a lot that we expected to accomplish before the conclusion of senior project. We began by registering our business under the name, Happy Wheels Detailing LLC, which was an interesting process to say the least. We learned that New Hampshire is one of the best states for starting a small business which very much helps for our position. Registering as an LLC was also the best move as we discussed this with our parents...
