Based on Business Model Canvas (BMC), the key partners of Sweekies are the team members, family members and friends. The business was built up by six team members who contributed capital to run the business. Two of the team members, Aaron and Venice, are the main producers to manufacture scrumptious cookies. They are not only guided by their family members in making products but also supported by their friends in evaluating the cookies in terms of aroma and texture.

The key activities that are necessary for the business are manufacturing, packaging, managing stocks, promoting, delivering, and selling. These activities are very essential for the business to maintain performance and ensure the products reach customers.

There are a lot of key resources to run the business such as production materials, equipment, and packages. The main costs of production are raw materials, packages, and utility expenses.

The value proposition includes homemade cookies, reasonable prices, quality ingredients and healthy products. The cookies are made by the team members themselves with high-quality ingredients. Whereas, they offer reasonable prices for customers to increase competitiveness with other cookie businesses. Their homemade cookies are healthy because they are freshly baked every week and do not contain any added chemicals or preservatives.

Customers can contact and order their products via channels like WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. They maintain their customer relationship by offering them discounts during festival seasons, free delivery at UNIMAS campus, and emphasizing the feedback from customers to improve their product. Basically, they aim customers from three various segments, which are UNIMAS students, events like birthday or tea parties, and the vegetarian community. Their business revenue streams mainly depend on online selling in order to attract customers from different locations.

Firstly, i would like give a special thanks to our lecturer who has been guiding in our Entrepreneurship course since day 1, Miss Azuriaty Binti Atang. Enrolling in Miss Azuriaty's entrepreneurship course has significantly benefited my small business, Sweekies. This course taught me practical skills in making wise business decisions, planning effectively, and leading my team. This course not only enhanced my business skills but also inspired me to focus more on what makes Sweekies unique. I've gained an appreciation for adaptability and prioritizing customer satisfaction.

In summary, this course has been a worthwhile investment in ensuring Sweekies' future success. I now feel more capable of making informed decisions, fostering innovation, and establishing a solid foundation for my business. I'm grateful for the practical knowledge and experience gained.

This MPU 3222 Foundation of Entrepreneurship Inculturation project has been a precious learning experience and showcases our dedication to establishing a real business. Despite encountering some inevitable challenges like high costs, lack of brand awareness and sales at the beginning of our business, our teamwork and persistence have eventually become the keys to overcoming all the challenges. From this project, I have learned the essential skills in the planning phase of starting a business. For instance, constructing a business modal canvas (BMC) is a strategy to reveal all the ideas and concepts of a new business. Promoting techniques like teaser posts, hard skills and soft skills in copywriting are the new techniques that I applied to our Instagram and Facebook pages to grow our sales by attracting the attention of more customers. In short, it is undeniable to acknowledge that we have acquired numerous valuable skills and experiences in this project. I am proud of the achievements we have made and I believe that our business will continue to operate in the future.

First of all, so grateful that I'm able to join this course and joining the sales program. Which have teach me a lot of stuff when plan to start a business and during business are operating and finish. When plan to start an business it not a simple thing since our priority to start an business is to generate income and avoid to be having loss. Therefore, need to think twice what is our product, for who are we aim for to be customer and need to consider the price. When plan to set our product price we need to think either our raw material will be increase price or just stay still the price to avoid loses. During business process i find that communicate with business partner is very important even though our role is different since we can share our idea to get improvement for our business. To closing an business it isn't easy since everyone have make an contribution capital to start up the business. I also learn on how to improve my income statement preparing.

First of all, I would like to say shout out to our dearly Miss Azuriaty Binti Atang for all the guidance and thoughtfulness teaching throughout this semester. I really appreciate and thankful to her for this wonderful experience since the day enrolling her class. Before, I personally thought that business is stressing and too much complication to take care off. In simple way to say is not my cup of tea. But after doing all the works and our business moving quite impressing, it still does stressful but feel so much better. Anyway, it was a great experience to try something that you are not into it. Working as a team is much more easy even though we lack on so many part or maybe few, but as long as we work together, everything will be okay. What I have learnt is that communication in between you and your team members is the most important thing in business. If you are not interacting, arguing and always listen to your own opinion, that is not business partnership. Luckily, I was given a very amazing partnership members with to build up this small business.

Reflecting on the MPU 3222 Entrepreneurship Inculturation course which was lectured by our beloved and spotting lecturer, Miss Azuriaty binti Atang, I have gain a lot from the course. For instance, now I know how a business work starting from the beginning and the work in process in order to maintain the flow of the business. I also got to enhance my marketing skills since my role is taking charge of promoting our products. For example, the process of creating a poster in terms of the editing and selecting the right image and stickers etc. to fit in the poster. Besides that, I gained the knowledge to copywrite our business brand. In short, thanks to this course, I feel more confident to make sure any business that I work for in the future to run more efficiently and effectively.
