CEO has taught me numerous lessons and granted me countless opportunities that I will be forever grateful for. I have learned how networking allows a person to build a greater personal connection between local business owners. Over the course of this class, I have witnessed how these connections help to better unify the city of Belleville. Additionally, I believe that I am a lot more creative than I have previously thought. After the class business I showed an immense amount of creativity. I learned a lot during class business like trying to create flyers that were eye-catching and creative, yet full of the proper information. Through this, I learned what drew the most attention from viewers. During our class business I heard that some customers were getting confused as to if they were all talking about the same talent show. I found this feedback to be very useful and from there on out I made sure all the flyers were similar in theme and color scheme. This ensured that every flyer had some new spark to it, but was undeniably talking about Belleville’s Got Talent. From this real world experience, I now feel much better prepared for any future advertisements I create. My creative designing habits have not only helped me in CEO but in school and overall in life. I now have such a better mindset of being able to create something out of nothing that will stick with me for life. Furthermore, I am most proud of my work ethic and how I have found ways to finish all of my work even at times when I am overwhelmed. CEO has pushed me to find ways to get any amount of work done even when I don’t have much time. Overall, CEO gives me the inspiration to one day return to Belleville and get my own business involved in such an extensive networking system.
