       If I were in Jude’s shoes the first thing to do is to plan thoroughly. The planning will
start on deeper deliberation within Jude and himself, he better thinks of many ideas that
are feasible and essential and present it on the table. After the compilations of ideas is to
enumerate the strong points and weaker points on the different options. A thorough
research about each of the options is required to fill in the gaps and to build the
foundation in each one of them. After gathering the data, the best thing to do is to
organize it so it will be easy to spot which option is better than the rest. Next, eliminate
the business options that have the weaker points, then continue to do the veto among
them until the best business option is left. It will go back to square one, which is planning
on the said business. It is safe to choose a feasible business, an on trend and also cost
efficient. It will also be a good move to consult on one of the well-known businessmen to
have a brief interaction and it will also be an avenue for them to share their expertise then
ask for a consultation to make the business more efficient on my side.
 

 
2.       As the best friend of Lucio, I will recommend him to ask for support from his family,
just a little amount to start a smaller business that is really needed on the market for him
to make the money grow in a short period of time. I will also recommend him to ask for
monetary assistance from a trust corporation or bank that has a small annual interest rate,
so that it will be more efficient for him to pay it within the time frame. I will also give
Jude some advice to be strict on handling the money, a transparent liquidation of the
proceeds of the money so he can check the balances and maintain the good flow of
money within his business.
Summary
Jude is subjected to create a business that is intended for him in order for him to finish his hybrid
course. It is intended only to make a business plan that models and presents his ideals. The said
business should kick off with an initial capital of no less than 2 million bucks but Jude on the
other side of the coin is still hesitant on pushing through his desired business due to some
circumstances.  As a beginner but well literate on the said field, strategic planning is the best way
to assess the primary problems.
Findings
Two problems can be filtered out from the context, a large amount of money that can be used as
a capital of the business is hard to find or produce. The thought of mishandling the money after
investing on a business is a risk to take. Next, it is a 50-50 chance for Jude to excel in both
worlds. The grades or even the chance of Jude to graduate is at stale if he will not be going to
make this business a success.
Discussion
It is hard to take a risk on investing a big capital that has to be done in an ample amount of time,
to raise such much is also hard for Jude thus, the best way to ask for some monetary assistant
from his siblings to help him open a more feasible business that only requires a lower capital but
ensures a great income in return and it is also advisable for him to take a loan from a trusted
banks or corporation that lends money with a small annual interest rate, at least1.5% annually.
This kind of lending company will be easier to be paid within the timeframe, fair enough to pay
it and still have a remaining profit from the business. To risk Jude’s grade is also a big move
thus, to have a deep reflection on his move should be really done and it is also advised to let him
have a consultation from an expert so they can share thoughts.
Recommendations
Business is really broad and it is not a field for people who are weak enough to battle with the
challenges. The best thing to do is to be strategic on planning especially on the business that Jude
is going to enter. It is also best to adjust the budget capital to a more achievable scale and to have
a backup plan just in case the first business plan is really not feasible.
