On the 20th of September a guest speaker called Serena from the Wicklow County Enterprise Board came in and talked to us about setting up a mini company in Transition Year. Serena told us about the rules of the competition, the prizes and gave us some advice. I learned that you can't just buy a product and sell it as your own, I learned about the great prizes and Serena told us that we need to be able to sell our product/service outside of school as well as in school. We learned about the importance of creativity. We were split up into groups and each group was given a paperclip. We had to think of as many uses for the paperclip as possible. My group thought of the most (25). The talk made me start thinking of possible business ideas if I decided to make a mini company.
