Officially in Business

Essay Type: Responsibility / Growth

Possible angle:

• Pricing something

• Real customers

• Fear of legitimacy

Prompt:

“What changed when your hobby became ‘official’?”

‘making my hobby official’ taught me important aspects about owning and managing a business through hands on experience. This includes dealing with real customers, pricing inventory, and the sheer amount of attention that is required to officially own and build a business. I learned that the certificate of business meant nothing if I didnt actually put time into it. The hard work and effort is what really turned my hobby into something official, and something I had to take seriously. I came out of that experience having new knowledge about business and legitmacy.

What this says about me is that I enjoy building things up from the ground, and learning about myself along the way.
