September Blog

So like always on both Tuesday and Thursday for the past two weeks mentorship hours were being taken care of. So everyday right after 3rd block I'd have to speed on the freeway going 110 miles per hour while cutting off truckers. haha just kidding a lot of the time I got to my mentorship relatively early in fact so early Alex would just tell me to just go get lunch. Anyways when I was there during my time he had me making official golden compass bags, which didn't seem to promising in my eyes but hey it killed time so I'm not complaining. On the last few days Alex had James teach me the basics of marketing (somewhat more effective than door to door marketing), which was basically marketing through email. It seemed more effective to me in a sense that more stores were being hit than just whatever was located in the area, but loses that 1st impression that could ensure a costumer. So that kept me busy for the next three days, and everyday when Alex was available he had me come in his office and ask any questions I had on the books I would use for research. Unfortunately, a lot of the times I didn't have any since it had been so long since my last research check. All in all this month was pretty reasonable in getting hours done wise. As the year progresses I plan on asking more in depth questions with Alex since they aren't as good as they could be right now.
