On Friday I started off the day with learning about how to create business plans with Mr. Doody.  He showed me plans of restaurants he has already created, and also plans or restaurants that are still in the works.  After learning about the business plan he taught me how to manage a budget.  He took the budget from one of his restaurants, and explained why he gave certain categories more money than others.  After learning about it, he gave me the numbers to a different project and asked me to make a spread sheet using the numbers.  I created the spread sheet and before sending it to the designer he checked it over.  Following the spread sheet, Mr. Doody let me shadow the head builder in his project, Scotty.  Scotty showed me around the new building and introduced me to all the others guys working on the project.  All along the tour he was talking to me about how he runs the building site.  His main focus is that the other workers and him can joke around with each other, but once he needs them to do something, they need to know to respect and listen to him and get the job done.  This mentality is why Scotty and his team were able to construct an addition in 1 month while other construction groups said they could only finish in 3 months.
