EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
-----------------------------------
“Designing a Business” (DAB) was a great sound to me from the first day that I saw it in the list of my elective modules of my Master course. Even though I had to wait for being a part of the DAB-class for two months later because of making the wrong selections, I thought I still got what I needed from the DAB-lectures and much more than that by somehow.
As a mixed module of Designing and Business, “DAB” gave all students the chances and opportunities to make their real business from the first of first steps (Mace Kingston, 2013). Students would start from finding their group as to become a small company. Every team, then, focused on the most simple thing as creating an idea, making prototype of product into harder things as doing market research, manufacturing the real goods, setting up social network and finally, making it real as selling their products in the market, doing financial calculations and so on.
There could be many and many things to write for what or which a student could learn from “DAB” and all of the key learning is also able to be different based on various view of each student. As the purpose of this report is a reflective essay of a Master student in Business, I do not want to avoid mentioning about any lesson in business aspects as Finance, Marketing, Human resource and so on. Nonetheless, in my personal perspective, I already had many and many times to study and learn them from thousands of books, on Internet and also in other modules of my Master course. Thus, from my own experience, the most important and expensive lessons for me from DAB is not only about ‘how to design a business’. It is about Designing Me and having a strategic planning for my missions in near future and I also wrote about them here in the way of my-own. This seems to be how a true reflective essay should be and also become an explanation for any reason why I focus on writing this report like this.
As follow the general principle, the structure and the writing style of this report must be in an academic way. However, while it is in first person that it can be informal and become a story, I guarantee for every single word and sentence has been written carefully (I have tried my best with my poor English) and I hope that reading this “DAB-tale” may not become a boring journey but very enjoyable.

Zawadi NMAFA African Art Awards Dinner Booklet BrandingFaraji Whalen
Recently we were approached by The National Museum of African art about providing an item for their gift bags for their first annual African Art Awards Dinner. This was an opportunity to gain exposure to over 350 high net worth individuals with a natural affinity for exactly the products we sell. I wanted to do something special that really helped people understand who we are and what we do. So I mocked up this 8 page booklet and right slap dab in the middle, we used a hole punch and twine to attach an actual handmade metal chiwara ornament as a gift for guests, referenced on the same page by a description of the significance of the chiwara and the artisan that made them. I'm excited to see what the yield will be in terms of generating new customers and revenue

This document analyzes challenges facing Yemen's coffee industry and proposes strategies to expand its global trade. It applies economic development models to show how poverty traps prevent growth in Yemen. Specifically, it finds Yemen's coffee industry faces difficulties from weak institutions, poor marketing, and an unprotected brand name. The document argues for a "Searcher" approach of market-oriented solutions, such as better marketing emphasizing Yemen's coffee history and role in stability, rather than top-down "Planner" interventions. Expanding Yemen's coffee trade could boost its economy and support U.S. counterterrorism goals.

All my life I have wanted to become a professional athlete in either basketball or football
and have always strived for success in sports to make for a better life for myself. I have put in the
time and effort to make it here to Texas tech to play football and to get closer to my dream of
playing in the NFL. While in my eyes playing in the NFL is a seriously real and achievable goal,
many others seem to think that the odds of this dream turning into reality make for this to not be
considered a real career goal. Despite what people think I still and always will believe that with
the right amount of work put towards becoming the best athlete I can be, I drastically increase
my true ambition of having an NFL career, even though other goals are more attainable. With
that being said I have turned to the next best thing in my eyes, which is teaching at the high
school level, and being able to coach the sports I love as well.
I have grown to live a comfortable lifestyle and would love to always maintain that, but I
don’t need money to be happy. I do understand that money makes the world go round and that
having a teaching job where you also coach for a high school is not anywhere near the amount of
being an NFL player. But there is a certain amount of pleasure I would receive from still being
able to be around the sport I love if I wasn’t able to make it professionally. I have thought long
and hard amount the time frame in which I would become that teacher/coach and have
considered several options. The option that has been most comparable in my eyes is that right
after school I embark on a professional career with my brother, working in his construction
business. This would give me a job right away with higher pay than I would get at a high school
coaching. I would have time to learn the ropes around his business while further advancing my
professional career, in hopes of one day taking over the family business and running that on the

side while I focused on my teaching and coaching career. In my eyes it seems like a win-win
situation but I know it will take a lot of time and hard work to get there.
The steps I would need to be successful in my career goal of construction manager turned
teacher/coach have already begun here at Texas tech. With my math minor background, I will be
apply to have the competence to teach math at the high school level and with my sports
background be a coach as well. While on the other hand, the assets I have began learning here at
Texas tech through the construction-engineering program will help me translate more seamlessly
into the construction business. Both of these worlds will be able to combine through the help of
my integrative studies skills, which I am also minoring in here. I never knew how well my life
would come together but these necessary step I have been taking really seem to help me stay on
track for the long term goals I have.
Based on the fact that I am still chasing my NFL ambitions I have many short-term objectives I
want to achieve in order to put myself in a better position to succeed. In terms of my football
goals, one objective I have for the short term is just to get in peak physical condition for the
upcoming season. I also have an objective of becoming a starter but the last objective, which is
most important, is to enjoy the rest of my college athletic career. While those objectives are my
primary objectives to reaching my ultimate happiness I do have other short-term objectives for
my long-term goal of teaching and becoming a coach. Since the main reason I would be teaching
is because I have to in order to be a coach I think it is safe to safe my primary objective for the
short term would be to branch out and get connections in the football world from the people I
meet while being a student athlete here at Tech. The next part of that, which is almost equally
important, would be to master my math skills. I don’t want to be a teacher who cannot fully

assist my student because I am not one hundred percent competent at my craft. Lastly, I hope to
be able to learn from my upcoming engineering classes to think about ways to solve problems
like never before. I figure that would not only be helpful if I were to become a construction
engineer in the future but also to just be a better complex problem solver.
My three areas of concentration for my degree plan would include integrative studies,
mathematics and engineering. Since this degree plan allows me to branch out into three separate
fields of studies to minor in, I am able to broaden my horizons as a student and professional. I
decided on my three areas of concentration by simply assessing my strengths and weaknesses as
a student and what I would not only enjoy studying, but what I would also enjoy as a career path.
As I said, if I chose to be a math teacher and coach later on in life, having a math minor would
allow me to do so. Also since I have a background in sports and have competed at a high level
that would help with coaching and having connections. On the other hand, if I decided to be an
engineer or take the construction career path the ability to be able to build and manufacturing
things as well as think critically would be taught within the engineering minor and would
provide me the path to achieve my wishes. The best part of this class is that it has helped me
develop the tools and knowledge needed to translate each of my fields of studies into the best
possible skill set I would be capable of achieving. I have learned a lot about searching for jobs
and in particular which job suits my skills and interests best. I am very grateful for the chance to
learn more about my potential career and to become a member of the Linkedin community. I am
sure that because of this class I am much closer to becoming a professional in the career of my
choice.
