Finishing this project taught me a lot about myself and business. It helped me better understand myself and what I really wanted to do with my life. For example I learned I love working with my hands and communicating with people. It gave me an appreciation for business owners and everything they have to do and go through. Everyone starts somewhere and it takes a lot of effort and time to reach your goals and plans. 

​

This is a little hobby/business I can do for extra money for the rest of my life. I created a good name for myself, that sales and builds quality custom work. My goal was to be able to communicate effectively with customers and people. This will give me good communication and business skills that I use in my daily life and throughout my career. Participating in this business helped me reach deadlines and be responsible. It also has helped me with my time management and being able to plan out my days and weeks according to what I have going out that week.

​

This project has helped me a lot with my patience. I have learned a great deal about myself throughout this project, emotionally and physically. Working with leather is very time consuming. You can't cover up your mistakes, so you measure once and then measure three more times to make sure it is perfect. Some mistakes will ruin your whole project so it is super important to make every mark count. This has also helped me with my communication and confidence with people. I am not afraid to call people up and talk to them about what they want me to make. I am more confident talking to people and asking them questions. This will help me become effective in my future career. I want to be a counselor, so communication and confidence is key. Creating a leather business has taught me a lot of people skills, and also a lot of personal skills. Both have helped me become a stronger confident person in my daily life and in my future career.
