EQ 15

As the only member of my company, I had to complete the business plan for Freeman Fotography by myself.  It wasn't too difficult, but there was a steady work load each day. However, I couldn't have successfully finished this project if I hadn't set goals and milestones for myself each day.  I had a set number of sections to complete each day, and I knew if I didn't achieve the goal for that day, I would just have extra work the next day.  I had to keep myself moderately motivated in order to reach my daily goals.

I see potential pros and cons in the idea of partner-work for myself.  Yes, I would only have to complete half of the work, assuming that my partner did their part, but at the same time,  I would've been more distracted, and I prefer not to work with people even if it means doing more work.  I find that it is the easiest to avoid conflict and social stress.

I didn't learn many new things from this project, however, I became adroit in a few new skills.  I have never been much of a planner, but for this project, I realized early on that I would need to be so I began with setting small goals to complete each day with the larger goal being to complete a business plan.  I also became more familiar with some "adult" terms that I will need to know in the very near future, such as mortgages and equity.  I was also able to strengthen some of the skills I came into the project with.  I needed to add lots of "fluff" to most of the subsections.  Although I could've said almost everything I needed to in a couple of sentences, I was able to write an entire page, sometimes more, by adding details and irrelevant facts and by taking random rabbit trails throughout the business plan without making it seem distracting.
