This week was a pretty okay week. We were mostly focused on our presentation that was due on Thursday, but we were able to do some selling of bands during a few lunches. We are still having trouble selling to freshmen, but we have gotten a few to tell their friends about them. Our senior bands are completely sold out, and we have been thinking about buying junior bands since a few people have expressed interest in buying them already.
It turns out that the 360 evaluations that we all wrote about each other are actually going to be visible (without names of course). This freaks me out a little because I know that we all gave one member of the group not so great marks, and I'm worried about how she will feel. It's not like she didn't deserve what we gave her (in fact she might have deserved less), it's just that it's not something anyone likes to hear about themselves especially if you're friends with some of the people in the group that said those things about you.
The presentation went reasonably well, although we do have to make many changes to the slides themselves. One person's sections had to be completely reworked since it focused so heavily on the negatives of our company, but other than that, we don't have too much to rework.
I wish we could have gotten more done this week, but I'm not sure there was anything else we could have done.
Thanks for reading,

I hear your anxieties about the 360 review, but we believe that it's an important skill to learn: how to be honest with people about their work without feeling as if criticism is about the person. You need to make this separation (your self as a person from the work you've done) or else you'll never be able to grow as an entrepreneur. It will be tricky, but I'm confident that it is worthwhile.
