     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

• The most important thing I gained from this experience was that in any business its hard to get going and make profits. Money is an important issue that should be covered kept good track of. Also being an expert in your field takes years of experience and cannot be covered in one day.

     How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.

• What I have done really has helped me because I am working in a landscaping environment. Every hour of mentorship I attend the more I learn. My mentor has over 15years experience and teaches me what I need to know in order to answer my EQ by putting me in situations. For example he has me quote houses and then tells me the real cost to show me how important it is to quote a house. Getting a price wrong can make you lose profit. Part of my EQ involves profit so mentorship does help so much in answering my EQ.

4. I learned a lot from this experience, I learned how to work, how to please and talk to customers. I also Learned how it is to run a small business. Working with people is hard because not all of them will agre with what you have, many have different styles of doing things and as worker or"employee" the costumer is always right and gets what he or she wants. Also I learned how to work with tools and machines like commercial Mowers and tools to fix sprinklers.

5. What I did didn't necessarily help me choose a topic but it did help me get closer to what I want to do. Landscaping is a very rigorous and stressful job it requires strength and diligence. I may Choose this as my topic cause I do enjoy doing this and working with people but im not sure if I want to work so hard the rest of my life. What I am sure of is that I would love to own many business of landscaping and make one huge landscaping corporation so that I don't have to work. I would just hire people to do the jobs.
