Pork Barrel Spice Rub


Reasons the shark tanks didnt want in
Too big of a market
He saw them as part time owners not full time
the whole BBQ sauce idea has alot of compition and not easy to get your product well known. positives are that if it does get known BBQ sauce sells like a charm. In my opinion i would have gave them 50,000 for 50 percent of there profit just cause if i had the money they do that pocket change and if it gets big you get quite the profit.

Randy Pausch (Time Management)

Best way to teach something is to make them think they are learning something else. ”Head Fake”. Loyalty is a 2-way street. Brick walls let us show who really wants to achieve there goals, and who isn’t that dedicated. Raise the bar to get the best out of your students. Always treat others with care. Always have a Fun attitude. "Experience is what you get when you dont want it". Don't be Arrogant. Arrogance can limit you on conquering your goals
•Do not give up striving for your dreams: Even if you do not achieve them, there is still a lot that you can gain out of trying.
•Do not give up when you fail to get what you want: You have gained experience in the process instead.
•Do not give up when you face obstacles in your path. The obstacles are there for a reason: Not to keep you out but rather, let you prove how much you want something.
•Do not feel offended or discouraged when other people point out your mistakes and shortcomings. They do so because they care and want to help you become better. When no one points out to you that you have done a bad job, it just means that all of them have already given up on you.
•Do not complain and whine: Doing so does not you to solve the problem. Instead, work harder. That will be more helpful to you in the long run.

Reflecting on the Experience


Problems that we as a group experienced was the weather shut down the idea of selling floats do to the facts that we didn't think the floats would sell as good with the cold weather. So we decided to switch to muffins which are good for any weather condition and everyone enjoys a giant muffin.
I learnt that with all the organization and planning that goes into preparing your sales you can't just take things for granted. The main key to success is that the Team works together to make the job get done that much easier.
