In this week’s readings, I found that I liked the Defining Dozen Questions.  This article brings relevant questions that if one seriously wants to start a venture, one would want to ask and answer honestly.  A lot of ventures are started out of impulse not out of a well thought out plan. The 100 dollar challenge that I selected is one of those.  There are many things that would have been better considered, if I was too seriously make a viable long term venture out of it.

Now on to the Project.   The egg farm is nearly complete (it will be by the time this is read by anyone as I am going to finish it this afternoon as soon as I post this up and have a late lunch.  Yesterday I picked up an old roll of chicken wire that I have had for years from a previous construction project.  

With this I will finish the hen condo yard enclosure.  Hope fully this will give security to the residents from the Great Huntress that will co-inhabit the area. She has a phenomenal ability to hunt and catch flies (encouraged) and now lizards (which is not encouraged).  She is being trained as a search and rescue dog so the hunting has been somewhat reinforced.  We are sure she will become the great protector of the Hens, but in the meantime we are not taking chances.

I will hopefully remember to have better pictures next time I post.

Coming back to the topic of this week’s readings.  The Harvard material was actually pretty thorough in regards to a business plan.  Much better than the Small Business Administration material.  I only wish it was located in the class material before the assignment of doing business plans, in i-Learn, instead of after. It would have been more useful.  I did the assignment in linear order which renders the Harvard material useless to me. So the submission was lacking in my now better informed opinion.
