Her parents learned that she is thinking of expanding her business and possibly even taking out a second mortgage on her home to fund the expansion. They have never been overly supportive of her business, but as long as it seemed like a hobby, they didn\u2019t have much to say. Recently Wanda\u2019s mother called and expressed strong reservations about Wanda taking such a large step. This made a big impression on Wanda. She tells you that she doesn\u2019t want her business to cause a rift in the family. Perhaps she should take her parents\u2019 advice and just forget about expanding the business. Moreover, she doesn\u2019t understand why her parents aren\u2019t as excited about the prospects for the business as she is.<\/p>\n Your Task<\/h2>\nYou decide that you are going to take matters into your own hands and go directly to the source of the problem: Wanda\u2019s mother! In this assignment you will write a letter to Wanda\u2019s mother and explain to her the positive characteristics of entrepreneurs that Wanda exhibits and how you know she will be successful. You can compare Wanda\u2019s Salty Pawz start-up to other more well-known entrepreneurs who took a risk and succeeded, or you can recount your actual experiences with an entrepreneur you know personally. The key is for Wanda\u2019s mother to understand that (1) it is not unusual for \u201cnon-entrepreneurs\u201d to see things differently from the entrepreneurs, and (2) Wanda possesses many of the characteristics shared by successful entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n Grading Rubric<\/h2>\n
