I have a small book business and I started selling books since last year of 2023. I design book covers for people and ship them off on the weekends.
My experience with working alone as a book designer and bookkeeper, my biggest accomplishment was getting so many good reviews from people around the United States.
The skills I learned from having my own book business is understanding people. There’s a certain way my customers want me to design a book cover. Although it may seem like just books to some people, others find it personal when it comes to buying books.
I take my time designing these book covers for people, because when I get an order I have to do, I’m focusing on the descriptions they tell me they want.
When a customer doesn’t like the design I show them, I respectfully ask them what was the problem and how can I fix it.
When I set my prices up for my books I go base on the size of the book for shipping and the hours I do for making the design.
One of the hardest parts of doing my own business was advertising for my books. I started going on instagram showing my work and with the help from friends, I started to see people have interest in my books.
McDonalds
Cashiers

2023.01 - 2023.04
As a cashier at McDonalds I would always be patient with the customer no matter how frustrated they were waiting for their order.
I would clean the kitchen sometimes and bathroom so the inside of the restaurant would look very clean.
Greeting customers was one of my favorite activity working at McDonalds, because it would make the customers comfortable eating inside of the restaurant.
Even though I was just a cashier at McDonald’s, I made sure to help my workers with giving the orders to customers.
As a cashier, I always made sure I gave the right amount of change I was supposed to give to the customer.
When it came to training, I had good listening skills and my ability to stay focus on what I needed to learn.
Working at McDonalds I had no problem with being told what I did wrong by mangers or by team workers. I took that very seriously and always did my best to improve.

Skills
A Hard skill that I learned from having my own small business is overcoming. When I get a lot of orders, sometimes I would have to set packages up late at night. Although this may not be seen as healthy or responsible. This shows that I am willing to work as much as I can to make sure I get my work done before the deadline.
Another Hard skill that I learned from having my own small business is being creative. When I do artwork on my book covers, my job is to make sure I succeed at making my customer ideas or imagination come to life. There is always someone who wants their book cover to be drawn in a different way and I absolutely accept it by trying my very best to make that happens.
Soft Skill
Strategic Thinking, by working on projects. Sometimes I would work with a group of students that didn’t feel like working at all. To make sure I didn’t get a bad grade, I decided to gather information on my own time to finish the project. I did this by researching and taking notes so all of the students in my group each had something to say when we presented in front of class.
Team Development was a very important skill I learn from a wood shop class I took in high school. The Teachers in my class took safety very seriously. To make sure my team and I didn’t get hurt, was by listening to instructions very clearly and reading the wood shop textbook to make sure what I needed to do when working on a project with my team.
Schedule Management, is a skill I learn from both high-school and from my business because when it comes to being on time and sending packages on time, I have to set up a schedule that will help me be focused on what I need to do.
