This week I came across a cool article from an online business that I love called Huckberry. They wrote about their origins, why they started the company, and the hard, humbling work it took to get to the point they are at today. While I know we are not trying to start a business, I think many principles of their bootstrapper’s attitude apply to what we’ll be doing in class. First and foremost, they made the decision to “go for it.” This is the hardest and most important decision a company, group or purpose driven campaign can make. And they didn’t just start because a professor told them that they had to, they went after it with a passion because it was something they believed in. After that all of the other elements followed. They worked with the resources they had. They made connections to help their business grow. They did what they had to do to make their vision a reality.
As students we’re going to have to make due with limited to no budgets. The next step networking and taking advantages of our helpful campus will be key. Hopefully we will find topics and causes we are passionate about. While not everything we create will be perfect, I believe that if we choose something that is important to us, we will be able to make this class and opportunity to be a force for good.
