Great post! I really loved hearing about how inspiring Nike “JUST DO IT” is to you. I’ve always enjoyed purchasing from the brand since they have many different styled clothing and shoes with nice quality. I honestly love how such a simple phrase doesn’t have to mean much to someone like me but can mean a whole lot to someone like you.…[Read more]

Great post! I agree with you that maybe David can maybe share the work equally among the other employees or he can help her that way she isn’t as stressed and doing a two-person job. Also losing Harper will potentially create less productivity and create a larger workload and more stress on the other employees.

I agree with you that leaders are not born and that they are made because I do believe that after going through major life challenges the way one reacts and if they try to overcome/ face their problems would show you if that person were set to be a good leader because our obstacles and battles that we all face makes us who we are today.

Great post! In my opinion I think that if the McDonald brothers did not give up so easily when trying to make McDonald’s a franchise and if they would have kept on trying like they did when first creating the business they could have made it globally just like Ray if they wanted to but then again money isn’t everything to some people.…[Read more]

Great job with answering the questions. I also thought that the movie was very emotional especially at the end during their deal.

I think you did an amazing job with your post it is well-detailed and organized explaining how your day-to-day life goes and it shows what businesses you use the most.

I think you did a great job with this post since I agree with your statement about what a for-profit business is and what a non-profit business is. I see that throughout your day you use a lot more for-profit businesses just like me also including the MTA and food delivery services however, I just prefer Uber Eats.
