    Mistake if it doesn’t go to plan. Also swingball would be a good garden game, two players if you have more family members, take turns and it’s fun and hula hoop too.

    An entrepreneur is a person who makes a business, in the hope of making a profit , some successful entrepreneurs would be
    Henry Ford
    Elon Musk
    Bill Gates
    Sir Alan Sugar
    Michael Bloomberg
    J.K Rowling
    Angela Merkel
    Melinda Gates
    Vince McMahon.

    Most entrepreneurs start working in another business. If they are good at their job. One day they decide to take a risk by making their own business from scratch to building large corporate companies.

    A good garden game is something that doesn’t cost a lot , however it has to be appealing to people so they can come over and over again .

    I think the best garden game in my opinion is cricket because many people can play at the same time because there are various positions like fielding, batting and bowling.

    1. Miss Cochrane

    An entrepreneur is an individual who creates a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards. Entrepreneurs who prove to be successful in taking on the risks of a startup are rewarded with profits, fame, and continued growth opportunities.

    Bill Gates is one of the most recognised names in the entrepreneurial world
    Jeff Bezos
    Warren Buffet
    Amancio Ortega
    Mark Zuckerberg
    Carlos Slim
    Larry Ellison
    Michael Bloomberg

    To make successful business you must have these features: as the owner of the company, you must have a positive attitude and accept 100 percent of the responsibility for the results of your business. When you accept responsibility, you can act to make the necessary changes to accomplish the desired results. Then, when success is achieved, you’re generous in giving credit to others within the organization. Without exception, the most successful business owners understand that it’s all about people: hiring and retaining the right people, eliminating ineffective people and providing the necessary resources for employees to master their tasks.

    Business strategy. A complex strategy or business plan isn’t necessary to achieve success. A simple one-page document will do, but it should be well thought out and well executed. A poorly crafted business plan that’s well executed is far superior to the well-crafted business plan that sits on the shelf collecting dust. A good business plan defines and drives the activities and behaviors of the entire organization. Without it, the business becomes a ship without a rudder; it simply can’t be steered and ends up going around in circles. A sound strategy should include a financial plan, marketing differentiators, and product strategy as well as a plan for employee retention.

    Discipline. Discipline is all about executing the strategies and then staying the course. It’s about staying focused on your core markets and measuring success as defined by your business strategy. It’s not about overreacting to market changes and adjusting your core strategy to keep up.

    Risk. Successful business owners aren’t afraid to take calculated risks with clear outcomes in mind. Most owners who take risks do so because they recognize the need to change as the economic climates changes, and they understand it’s disastrous not to embrace change. Successful business leaders understand that being in business is about managing and responding to change. Companies that succeed embrace change and respond to challenges presented by the market, the competition or changes in general business conditions.

    Discover your motivation for starting a business
    Before you start a business, you should be absolutely clear about why you are doing it. That may sound obvious, but there are actually many reasons why someone should choose to turn their back on the security of a job and career for the uncertainty of starting a business. So the clearer you are about what exactly you are trying to achieve, the better chance you have of achieving it.

    Wealth, power, fame, saving the world? Most entrepreneurs are motivated by a mix of the above although most wouldn’t like to admit it. Understanding what is driving you to start a business is a major factor in determining what type of business you should start. Why? Because when a business you start isn’t aligned with personal ambition, it is much more likely you will fail.

    You should make sure from the beginning that your personal goals and drive are compatible with your business, for example:

    Someone who seeks wealth might want to look at companies in the financial services industry, where Fintech valuations and revenues are typically much higher than other start-up businesses.
    Someone who seeks power and influence could achieve this through any form of media business.
    Someone who seeks out fame might be best suited to an entertainment related business.
    Someone who wants to save the world might start a business tackling climate change through renewable energy.
    It is important to understand why you are starting a business so you can focus on business ideas that will help you get to where you want to go.

    Make sure it’s a good reason to start
    In reality, you are unlikely to have just one reason for starting a business; it is likely to be a combination of several of them. So be aware that the aims may conflict with each other.

    In my opinion what makes for a successful garden game,is that everyone is having fun and the game is supposed to bring everyone closer together not further apart. The things I enjoy in a garden game is excitement and fun plus everything must be organised well so there won’t be any mix ups

    I have so many favourite garden games so two of my favourite’s are:

    1.Sponge Launch
    If you like slingshots, you will love this game. To play this game, you will need two large totes filled with water, two small empty buckets, twenty kitchen sponges and two 3-person water balloon launcher. Team members use the water balloon launcher to launch the sponges filled with water. Another team member has to catch the sponge and bring it back and empty the sponge in the bucket. The team which fills the bucket first wins the game.

    2. Blanket Run
    The blanket run is an amazing game to play in the garden with your family and friends. You will need some old blankets that you don’t mind spoiling in the mud. Divide your teams.
    One of the team members has to sit on the blanket and hold it tightly. The other team member has to grab one end of the blanket and run. All the teams must start racing at the same time. At the opposite end, the players must switch their roles. The one who was running must sit on the blanket and the one who was sitting must grab the blanket and run back to the starting point. The team that completes the race faster wins the game.

  17. Ryan A.

    Teamwork makes a successful business.
    Planning the space so you know what will go where.
    A good garden game is an obstacle course because it gets you active.

  19. Hishaam

    An entrepreneur is a business man that earns money and is very creative and who never gives up. Being an entrepreneur means identifying a need and being brave and determined enough to create an innovative solution.
    Bill Gates of Microsoft and Steve Jobs of Apple company are the best examples of the successful entrepreneurs.
    Successful business needs creativity, not giving up and well organised work.

    1. Hishaam

      4.And to make a good garden game you will need natural art and running so you can get some exercise.

      5.You will need hiding to make it the best maybe if you lose you will have to do a funny act in front of someone.

    1.) An entrepreneur is a person who wants to start their own business they take financial risks in hope of profit there are a lot of entrepreneurs world these people are entrepreneurs. Bill Gates – Who is second for richest man in the world and he owns Microsoft; a fact is 9 in 10 computers run on Microsoft. Walt Disney- This man created what we all know and love the fabulous Disney ; a fact about it is that he used to voice Mickey Mouse . Mark Zukerburg – He created the worlds biggest social media app facebook ; a fact about him is that he is red and green colour blind that is why the facebook logo is blue white because those are the colours he sees the best.

    2.) I actually want to start a business of my own but what makes a successful business is that you have to start strong financially , mentally and physically. Do not just be laying around do what you have to do. For financially you have to start strong with money as you have to have it for the funding and to get started . For the mentally you have to be mentally in control as your business will go up and down as Ghandi said “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” So you have to get ready for anything that comes in your way. And finally for the physically you have to always move things even if it is hard. If you want to build a factory you have to hire builders to build you have to make the physical move. For anyone out there who wants to be an entrepreneur my personal quote is “Take the right path even if you walk alone”.

    3.)I think that the bestest garden game ever is definitely dunk bucket it is were someone sits on a chair underneath a bucket of water then for the throwers they have to hit a target board and if they hit it the bucket spills on the person sitting in the chair. One way to always win this game (never volunteer to sit in the chair).
