Hey y'all!

So this week has been crazy to say the least! I am starting my own business with my brothers that is going to open April 1. We are opening a kolache shop. To most of you, this word is foreign...because it is. I am in charge of the social media, marking, and some sales for our business, Hruska's Kolaches. I have been able to use my skills from MCOM already which I am truly grateful for. So for any of you who want to come by and see me at my OWN business, feel free to grab a kolache as well. Like us on Facebook, or follow us on Instagram at @hruskaskolaches! For more information, visit whattheczech.com.

From painting and decorating, to building countertops and moving in equipment, I still managed to learn something in class this week. After looking through the magazine for the Marriott School of Business, I know how to incorporate CARBS into everything I do. For my Business Article, I need to add graphics and make it more appealing. According to the man that came and talked to us about it, the content needs to be the main focus, but I want to focus on everything! I plan to make my article informative, and entertainment o read along with appealing to look at. From what we learned about CARBS in class, I will focus on contrast, alignment, repetition, balance, and spacing.

  1. Well that is really exciting. I can imagine how that would be hard to get all of that done and go to school at the same time. Thanks for your help with my article. Sorry it was a bit rushed at the end but it has helped.

  2. Cool! Can't wait to find out what a kolache is. That's definitely a great opportunity for real world application of what we're learning in class.

  3. Great post! I was also able to apply some MCOM stuff to my life recently. I feel like my resume got a really good overhaul, and I had never written a cover letter before this class. Good luck with your upcoming business launch!

  4. Getting kolaches from the Czech stop on the way to Austin was my family's favorite part of our road trip! I can't wait to try yours! That's so cool :) Also, it's awesome that you are able to apply these concepts to real life stuff so fast. Good luck to you!
