Today we arrived to class so excited to present our idea. As we explained our proposal to our teacher she seemed very interested until she asked us:
It was so stressful for us to be bombarded with so many questions but she had a point. We hadn't taken into consideration all of those questions and as we answered each of them we became more doubtful of our idea. It was that moment when I realized that sometimes as much as you seem so excited for with you product, but actually, it is very challenging and many factors are simultaneously involved. We received a partial sticker but our proposal wasn't approved. This was definitely the hardest part... being rejected and suddenly there were lack of ideas. As a group we spent the rest of the class trying to brainstorm another possible good or service, but unfortunately everything seemed to be already invented like:
It was so difficult because all of the ideas we came up with already existed, or didn't really make sense so we were starting to give up. After some time we suddenly realized that some of the ideas that we came up today didn't exist in Guatemala... The idea we liked the most was the instant beauty salon and as a group we felt that it was a great idea to implement here in the country! So, instead of proposing a totally new idea we convinced our teacher by explaining that this type of service didn't exist in Guatemala so why not implement it when it felt really necessary? ... The good news was that she approved just before class ended! With the idea approved, next class we just need to develop our visual aids and all of the steps involved in the process for the final presentation which is in 1 week!!!
