Marketers of Baruch (Taiyaki)

It’s ironic because initially I wasn’t planning on going to this event but my friend wanted to go so I ended up going up him. Surprisingly, it turned out pretty beneficial for me because I needed this for FRO but also because I got to gain some insight on how young entrepreneurs were able to make a success business and the steps it took for them to reach that. To be honest, I forgot the names of the speakers but they were around the ages of 22-26, and one of them was 30ish. They were telling us how when it comes to work ethnics, everyone is always spectating and observing how you work and how much effort you put into it. When it comes to business, it doesn’t matter if you’re good friends with someone, unless they’re as driven as you, you guys won’t be able to reach your goals. The business that they opened up was called Taiyaki which is like a fish shaped waffle cone with ice cream fillings. They got the idea from visiting Japan and Korea and realized how it was a popular desert over there but there was barely any back in the U.S. So they had an idea of what they wanted to open up and from there they molded that idea into a business. They also mentioned how they were short on cash and that it was okay to ask parents for help when it comes to this. I’m actually thankful that I got to hear and gain some insight on this because in the near future, I’ll be looking forward to starting my own business.
