In the Business of Planning

What is 20% time?
20% time is an idea created by Google which allows it's employees to use 20% of their time at work to work on any projects they want. Google gives their employees this creative freedom in hopes of them inventing and fixing Google products. This idea recently came to the attention of many teachers; sparking the 20% time in many classrooms across the world.

The essential question
What does it take to create a business?

What have you chosen to be your 20% Time Project? Why did you choose this? How does your project choice answer the essential question?
For my 20% time project, I have chosen to create a business plan for an event center. I chose to do this because I have thought a lot about what it would be like to make an event center, and I saw this as an opportunity to truly understand what it would be like. By creating a business plan, I will learn what is takes to create an event center.

What are your goals?
My goal for this project is to understand everything that is needed to create a business. I hope to achieve this goal by creating a business plan.

How will you measure your progress/achievement?
My progress will be measure by projecting what I will learn and do by certain dates and seeing whether or not I achieve or exceed those projections.

This blog will track the progress, findings, and obstacles that I will experience throughout the project.
