3. It all started when teacher put us into groups. When we were in our groups we had to come up with 3 ideas. When our groups came up with 3 ideas that were helpful in our everyday lives, we had to pick one. After we picked our ideas, we started buying accessories in order to make a sample of our idea for the presentation to the Dragons.

Natasha told us advantages and disadvantages about being an entrepreneur.There were lots of questions asked and we all learned a lot about her business so far.She gave us some ideas on our own product.

7. We learned about the importance of market research in business. We created a survey and surveyed 48 people. We asked people what they would like on the jars, we asked them what they would like in the jars - sweets were the most popular by far and we also surveyed people about the price they were willing to pay for our product.
