For our service, we don't require much skill. We just need to pick up trash from the ground. It is very easy today and isn't very difficult. It will take some time-varying for around 15 hours. The materials are very easy to get and aren't to expensive. it would require around $50 - $55. There isn't a need for a start up fund. The only thing needed is a materials fee from the volunteers. the equipment and tools are easy to acquire.

What were some of the most interesting discoveries I made while working on this project?

My solution relates to the world big time because climate change is really bad right now, this doesn't stop climate change but it helps and if everyone around the world contributed that would make a serious impact.
What would I do differently if I were to approach the same problem again?

In the future I will use what I learned while working on Padlet and in entrepreneurship 12 when creating a business of my own.

My service model is to stay relevant by increasing marketing and produce more volunteers. Our goal is to help the environment by reducing the amount of trash on the ground. The service is collecting garbage from the ground and disposing of it in the appropriate area. The volunteers and I would work certain hours picking up trash and switching every day to new places. The volunteers that contribute to my service would have to pay a fee of $15.00 to acquire supplies. Extra funds would go into better equipment or more materials. To popularize our service we would go door to door and give special surveys to people that participate. We are also putting up flyers and posting on social media about our service.

# data[].attributes.body
When interacting with potential volunteers, I would speak with confidence and respect. I would be formally dressed and be as friendly as possible. When talking about my service, I will inform the person about what we will be doing, how it affects our community, volunteer fee, and where we would be. To gain interest in my service, I would emphasize how much my service would impact the world.

For my service, I would be going door to door and giving people a breakdown of what my service is about. I will be asking them to take my survey and if they would be interested in volunteering for us. I would also be putting up flyers around my general neighbourhood to find if anyone would like to volunteer for my service. On the flyer, I would put in the general idea of what I’m doing, encouraging all ages to support my service, and put in my information on the flyer. In case I need extra volunteers, I would be posting my service on social media to see if anyone would like to participate.

Expenses
- Gloves (100 pack) = $8.99
- Mask (50 pack) = $8.00
- Garbage bags (100 pack) = $9.00
- Staples ( 1 pack = 200 staples) = $2.00
- Paper (Printing from printplace.com) = $12.50 + 3.00 for printing 50 sheets of paper
- Stapler (mini stapler) = $4.00
Total Costs =  ($46.99 - $53.00) Just in case with taxes.
That would be all the expenses because we're not hiring employees. I will be asking for volunteers to come out and help our service. If not physically helping out then paying a little for the expenses. Also, everyone helping must contribute to the total cost of materials.
Market Tests:
For my service, a market test of 5 people would cost $1.40. The money would be coming from our volunteer's material fee. Since we only have a certain amount of materials we can only produce a maximum of 100 bags of garbage (100 units). Once we have extra profits we can produce even more units. 1 unit will cost $0.28.
Price: For each volunteer, the price will be 15 dollars to use our supplies like garbage bags, masks, gloves, and everything else I listed n materials (Day 8). this will help us with the total expenses. The money we collect will then go into our supplies  and that way we will not be losing or making money
Break-Even Point:
Our break-even point is going to be with a minimum of 4 volunteers. Because each volunteer is required to pay $15 dollars to help with the materials fee. With the remainder of the money we have, we will upgrade our materials and maybe even get new materials.

Steps to follow for making my service

Materials and Tools needed.
- Gloves
- Mask
- Recycle, Compost, and Trash bins
- Buckets to put our garbage in
- Appropriate clothing

- Garbage bags

Help from Others?
Yes, I will be asking my friends, and family to see if they are willing to take any time out of their day to help me. I will also ask the residents in my local neighbourhood to come volunteer for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be targeting the garbage disposal market because I want to create a social enterprise about helping my local environment.  I honestly won't care about my competitors because we all will be doing a good thing for our environment.

The most appealing thing about my service is that people will like is that they'll see me picking up garbage and hopefully it changes their mind about littering and they will throw their garbage in the right bin.

The biggest problem to solve is going to be changing people's minds in our society about littering, and hopefully, my service shows them how bad littering is and they will see the big picture and stop littering.

all wrappers, napkins, and everything needed to be thrown to the landfill will be properly thrown away.

-  A social enterprise or social business is a business that has specific social ambitions that serve its primary purpose. Social enterprises seek to maximize profits while maximizing benefits to society and the environment. Their profits are generally used to fund social programs. Social enterprises are important to society because they can provide income generation opportunities that meet the basic needs of people living in poverty. Another reason why social enterprises are important is that they help the environment, which is really bad at the moment in the world. Finally, they are important because they help with people's employment and training.

My S.M.A.R.T. Goal is to have my money and to have 5000 dollars (cad) in my bank account by Christmas. Specific(S) I will reduce my monthly expenses. Measurable(M) This goal will be measurable because I will not order food and eat at home instead, and driving around with my friends, instead, I should decide to stay home or walk so I can save gas money. Achievable(A) this goal for me I believe is achievable because I'm already more than halfway there and with bi-weekly paychecks coming I should be able to hit my goal. Relevant(R) This is a relevant goal because I want to have 2500 dollars (cad) to invest in the stock market and start making another source of income. Also, it's good for me to learn to invest at a young age because when I'm older I will be more familiar with investing. Time-Bound(T) the time that I hope to complete this goal is December 25th, 2020. Completing this goal will help me in 2 ways, 1. will help me learn to save money which is a really good habit to learn, and 2. will help me explore new business opportunities. The skills needed to improve my chances of completing this goal are needing to stick to challenges, for instance, if my friend gives me a call saying to hangout I need to find an alternative for transportation instead of wasting money on gas. Also, another skill needed is to hold back on wants instead of necessities. This is a big skill needed because you would need to pass up on subscriptions like music, Netflix, or anything that isn't a necessity because there are only less than 2 months to meet this goal and cutting down on expenses is going to be a sacrifice to make to succeed. Most successful entrepreneurs have made sacrifices to get where they are and I would also like to be one of those successful entrepreneurs.

What is an entrepreneur and do I have what it takes? (Day 1)

# data[].attributes.body
An entrepreneur is a person that creates and builds a business or businesses, taking on extreme amounts of liability that can bankrupt your company, or enjoying the profits and the fame of a successful company. An entrepreneur can also be in partnership agreements, and/or can expand his or her business into a corporation, franchise, etc. In my opinion, I believe I  do have what it takes to become an entrepreneur in the future because I am hard-working, and once my mind is on something I want to accomplish I do whatever it takes to achieve my goals.
