Last Training

I had my last training this past Saturday. It was great- we learned how to play the BEST game. This is a technique to teach the students(entrepreneurs)how to balance a business. As facilitators we have the ability to manipulate the game and emphasize different aspects of a business. For example if a person has a hard time keeping records we can give more "money" to those who keep the best records through the game. Or if someone has a hard time budgeting we can implement different costs such as family life, material costs, or savings. They have to figure out the best balance so that their family and business are both healthy as well as saving in case of emergencies. We have a lot of power as the facilitator to teach important concepts. We had the opportunity to play the game twice and create different products and market them to different stores. I learned a lot and we had a fun time as a team.
