I am a very artistic person. I love paying attention to the minute details of life, using strokes of imagination to create intricate masterpieces. I am ready to sketch new ideas, think outside of the box, and learn about the principles of management. I understand that this course is only a seven-week class, so I am dedicated to staying motivated, erasing all my distractions, and poring all my focus into this course. My friends and family would describe me as someone who has a very cherry attitude; I love adding vibrance to life. When I was younger my family would always have to make sure I was not drawing new pictures on the bottoms of walls. They may also describe as a little messy. My room is often covered in paintbrushes, acrylic paints, and solvent and oil mediums.  ]]> 2021-10-30 16:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/erinlenaeshep99/sutqvcs7f7ir3r4c/wish/1855690529 erinlenaeshep99 https://padlet.com/erinlenaeshep99/sutqvcs7f7ir3r4c/wish/1941808997 Module 1 discuses the multi levels of management and their responsibilities and contributions that keep a company running smoothly. When managing people management must remain aware of a company's conditions, environment, and resources, then decide the goals of the company and how they will be fulfilled. As an aspiring business owner I underestimated the importance of vertical management. Before reading about the importance of Top, Middle, and First-Line Mangers and Team Leaders I assumed that most functions of management could be done by one person.

In the future I would love to globalize my own beauty/self-care business. My biggest concern is factoring in the cultural, economic, and political differences of multiple countries. But the possibility of my products being affordable and avaible to people around the world is inspiring. I used to view the competition of other businesses as a bad thing, but the increase of competitors demands for constant innovation and evolution. ]]> 2021-12-11 17:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/erinlenaeshep99/sutqvcs7f7ir3r4c/wish/1941948800 erinlenaeshep99 https://padlet.com/erinlenaeshep99/sutqvcs7f7ir3r4c/wish/1941991710 Above is an image of L'Oreal, a makeup company, they uses a unique strategy, Universalization.

I have always wanted to own my own beauty and self-care company, but I struggle with the mission direction and the vision I want for my business. I have been told by family and family friends that branding and a clear mission isn't important, but I after reading Module 4 I think that is what ensures the longevity of a business. ]]> 2021-12-11 19:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/erinlenaeshep99/sutqvcs7f7ir3r4c/wish/1942025322 erinlenaeshep99 https://padlet.com/erinlenaeshep99/sutqvcs7f7ir3r4c/wish/1942039890 Above is an image of Kim Kardashian at her shapewear brand's "Skims" Nordstrom press event.
