Take a shot-enterprise activity on creativity day

Preparation 

 Originally, I was supposed to be a supervisor to support Mr.Crip and Mr.Linch's enterprise activity. We(Shun, I, Johnny) moved around to help and offer ideas to people who didn't have much experience on business, but most of groups made their own creative businesses well. Actually, I found myself interesting in this activity and suddenly wanted to participate in it after observing people making their businesses. Fortunately, we were allowed to make our own business, but still had to keep eyes on students. We preferred to make a service rather than selling stuffs such as food and the idea we made was 'Take a shot'. The game rule was simply this: a person has five chances to throw a paper ball to hit the cups on the tables and two practices are offered before the real one. Each cup has different points and we set the cups with high points. The top 3 who gets the most will be rewarded with chocolate. Before making rules, we discussed the sensible price, setting of cups, ways to promote and made some cups. (I was the one who designed cups. I drew different facial expressions on the cups, but no one actually cared about it...)Actually, we used the psychology that people would try more as they would tend to break the top scores. This was for the first day to be ready for the business

D-day 

Next day, the estimated customer number was about 50, but it was  overconfident expectation. For first 20-30 minutes, no one came and we blamed ourselves who thought this was such an outstanding business idea and we saw other businesses making money with jealous and irritation. The pleasure when  the first customor came can't be explained, happy was somehow not enough to describe the feeling, but still after the first customer people were attracted by other businesses surrounded us. We again self dis that the idea was creep. However, after few hours this was proved that the idea was quite good indeed. At first time, we just put posters at school where people could see well and didn't do anything special. However, we realised that we had to bother customors to come and visit. So Shun and I walked around, grasped people, gave them posters and said them to come and have a go. I always thought people who grasped me on the street and gave posters were annoying, but  now can understand it's their job and it's useful for the business. Because of our irritation promotion, some people came and others who watched them playing got interested and they also played. I was really happy that many people came, especially the psychological strategy we made worked. Some people who used to be on the top 3 list played for few times to get into the top3 again. I felt really good as we made a lot of profits. I knew that it was only few hours, but I was completely exhausted after the activity. However, I felt really fulfilled and proud of myself that I earned money by myself and realised that making money is seriously not an easy job. This day gave me a lot of feelings that I didn't feel and a lot of good experience including earning money that I actually can't learn just from academic study.
