Blog Post Day 9

 5/18/22, 21:00

Today was a lot of driving around and gathering some needed supplies and materials for our business. We also started early to compensate for our last baseball game in the early afternoon. We drove to Concord and first went to Sam's Club. We specifically went there for only microfiber towels which is something we use a lot of. We got about 4 packs of 36 towels each which will realistically only last us about just over a week. After this, we went to Walmart to browse their selection of car cleaning supplies just to see if there was anything we needed. We ended up getting a small vacuum cleaner that will help us get in the nook and crannies of areas that our shop vacuum has trouble getting into. After this we looked around for some other stuff but we only needed a few things to prepare for our first actual detail tomorrow. We got home from Concord and recorded our purchases in our spreadsheet and stored the receipts in our business folder to keep track of our finances. This was a rather quick day but with the conclusion of baseball season, we look forward to having longer days in the near future.

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...
