1-Given that many new businesses fail in the first few years after they are established, how should an entrepreneur think about the risk of failure associated with a new business? From what you have learned in this chapter, what can an entrepreneur do to increase the chance of success? 200 WORDS
2- For this discussion board post, I want you to do something a little different. I want you to look around a community you are part of – this could be where you live, it could be a religious community, a community centered around a hobby, a team, a club at the college, the college itself, etc. – and determine a problem or issue in your chosen community. For example, the city in which I live, Broward County recently stopped recycling (they took our recycling cans away and told us to just throw away recyclable materials). For me, this is a problem (I now must drive my recycling to city hall, which offsets the benefit of recycling for the most part).
Once you have identified which issue you plan to discuss, tell us what it is, and explain why it is so important to you. Please note that while you can use a community that is personal to you, you cannot present ideas that might be upsetting or degrading to others. Once you have identified the issue and explained why it is important and your interest in solving it as a problem, I want you to use the AIDA model and write a brief outline that explains how you would utilize AIDA to draft either a written or spoken call to action to help solve the issue.

3-CREATE A RESUME
Your resume should engage the following:
You are to respond to the job listing you posted on the discussion board and create a resume for the position.
You should not create a “form” resume. You need to understand how to compose the resume to highlight the experience, education, and qualifications that directly respond to the needs of the company.
A good/great resume showcases your experience, education, training, and skills in an easy-to-read format that can be readily scanned/skimmed in under thirty seconds. Most hiring managers do not “read” resumes, they quickly scan them and are drawn to specific information on the resume. It is your task to make the most interesting and pertinent information about yourself easy to locate.
