Energy Aware – The Key to Success
In class on November 8th, Janice Cheam, an entrepreneur from Vancouver came in and told us about her business, Energy Aware. I was very fascinated with what she discussed and what it is was like to start up her business. My hope is to one day also own a business and learning about angel investors and what she had to go through was very useful information. She really made it clear that starting your own company takes an extreme amount of dedication, but if you love what you are doing than it is absolutely worth it to give it a shot because most likely the job opportunities you pass up will still be there if things don’t go as planned. Energy Aware is great example of innovation, which is topic that has come up quite frequently in my blogs. Innovation is the key to success and a bright future. Energy Aware offers a product that not only saves the customer money in the long run, but has a social benefit to this world. Spreading awareness about saving energy and money is a great way to encourage society to change and protect the environment. As a species, Humans must now learn how to use our limited resources more appropriately and efficiently. This is exactly what Energy Aware does and this is why it is no wonder it has turned out to be a great success. It is becoming quite obvious from what I have learned in Comm, that a company with proper business ethnics and strong social values is more likely to be successful because it will gather more respect for making the world a better place.
