$100.00 Challenge

It depends on the country we are born how big this challenge may seem. I read that the student that raised more money was able to raise $3000.00 he was really enthusiastic. I was enthusiastic too! I finally completed the challenge. During the challenge I had a surgery. I had to be three times in the hospital because I had a severe gastritis. My kids got sick and I am sick now, but God blessed me to feel good for three to four weeks and I sold homemade banana bread. I was able to fulfill the challenge that for me was rising in profit 25 cents at a time. This was the profit I had for each banana bread. So it was a hard thing to do. Friends, family members and neighbors bought my product they like it a lot, but it was a little expensive. I kept going thinking that my money will help someone else. I was able to sell 400 units to achieve my goal. Everything was done in Guatemala. I am a Guatemalan student from BYU-I. Each dollar is almost 8 Quetzals. I enjoyed learning about all the hard work that it needs to be done to build one small business. I felt like I raised $800.00 but they are actually just $100.00. I will not probably be mentioned as the girl that has raised more money for a project like this, but I did my best and I feel happy. This week I learned a lot about all the marketing that need to be done before starting a business. It is better to study the market by doing that the risks are lowered.
