BPD Project 8: Mastery Assignment

My goal for this course was to increase my understanding of how to structure my business in terms of employees, finances, and operations. The employees are structured based on expertise and technical skills. I will have people managing their specific departments which include a developer for our online platforms, recording engineers, and marketing representatives. Our finances are coming from out of pocket and investors among family and friends. Our operation will largely focus on independent music to create an independent record label.

I was fortunate to gain insight from Mr. Burhoe’s firsthand experience with businesses. Through the reading, lectures and assignments I was able to put things into concrete terms and numbers.  This month helped me think about selecting people that would assist me and I could rely on. Currently I can say I have at least four people on board who can handle the technical side of the company. I also was given the chance to start thinking about the company will operate and make money, along with where our budget will come from and how it will be spent in order to keeping running.  The idea of being as realistic as possible comes to mind when considering what I’ve learned from this course and the reading material.


The concepts from the course were relevant for my business plan for my program at Full Sail University. At I come towards the end of the program I can see how everything I’ve been taught thus far will be connected towards my final business plan next month. At this point I will be finalizing the pieces and reflecting on my time here. After graduation I will see what resources are available to start up the company, but the route of finding somewhere I can gain more experience will always be open.
