Domestic Transportation

•Ground Transportation

•Introduction to Pareto’s Law

•Economies of Scale/Law of diminishing returns

•Shipping Documents

•Contracting

While it is imperative that you prepare yourself for entry into the job market, which means identifying and reinforcing the appropriate skills that employers are looking for. For this exercise, I want you to think as a business owner. How can you create demand for your services?

I want you to identify your customers and your suppliers. Tell me who they are and what kind of product or service you will supply them and how you will do it.

Try to think outside the box
