Shadrach White


Shadrach White who is the CEO of cloudPWR The company which is found in 2011 brought us an interesting story. Through by his timeline, it shows the upside and the downside of the Entrepreneurial life, it's like a roller coaster. He started with Rucker Park Basketball Gear which sells the jersy for NBA teams. In the beginning, the business was successful, however it failed because he was lacked of financial knowledge. That's also a important thing to us to remember when we start something, financial is what a business needs to know. They need to keep track the cash flow of the company, otherwise we don't know when we lost the more money, and how much we lost, it sounds like gambling. But in the story, I see he has a really special mindset which is he isn't scare about doing the thing he think it's right. While he walked through the dangerous street to ask for name permission, he knew he's doing right thing, he knew his goal that he needs to do it, and he didn't stop just because it's risky. And there's the other thing from his story which he mentioned is "Even though you followed every rules, you still can fail". The business is just not like math or science, just follow the formula and reach the solution. If it is, the percentage of successful business should be higher. And the last thing I find it made a really strong impact to me is when he asked "who in here works in sales?". Everyone works in sales, we sale ourselves, we are all material for sales.

Business Idea Expression Experiment

In my opinion, I can say gathering as a group and talking about your business idea can be easy which can be hard to me at the same time.  Why is it easy, but also hard?  Because in my head, I already have my ideas and basically I can visualize it. But then when I come up with too much ideas, so I have hard time to pick which one is the one I want to go along, which one is the best for me, and which one I'm interested most about it, and it starts messing around a bit.  Second thing, when I already decided which ideas I will talk, it might be easy at first, but then in middle, I recognized there's something missing or it's not organized well. It's because I can visualize idea but that doesn't mean my head can organize all the details in that ideas, so there are always holes when I talked about my ideas and recognized it myself somehow. It's a good thing that when I talked to people and it helped me understand my ideas better, but it disturbed my th

First Business Ideas

International Students Parent Escorted Tour: This is the idea when I talked to my mom since I was International Student Council at Highline College who arrange events for international students go around Washington to get to know more about American activities and get used to with the life styles and my Mom who work with Kennedy high school to recruit international students. We recognized that when one student comes to America, their parents are going to follow them to America in one or two week to investigate their children study environment, so we think about to make welcome tour for those parent to get to know Washington, also include restaurants, hotels, transportation, etc. Event Studio: This is the idea that came up when I worked with my friend from building event photo booth. We think about people gonna have family pictures, birthday pictures, weeding pictures, or they just want to save their special moments but then sometimes we can't find a beautiful place, o
