As Hope's products and her gift reminder app gain traction, she faces new challenges and opportunities. In this chapter, we explore how Hope measures the effectiveness of her initiatives and makes a pivotal decision that could transform her venture into a community-wide platform. We can see how hope is truly developing an entrepreneurial mindset.

With valuable insights gathered from her initial venture at the school fair, Hope is now poised to take a strategic leap. This chapter explores how she leverages feedback to expand her product line and tests a novel app idea using a "Wizard of Oz" MVP approach—a smart, resourceful step in her entrepreneurial journey.

Hope knows she can't start with a massive catalog of gifts and a fully functional app right away. Instead, she decides to begin by offering a small selection of handmade bracelets and a few items she can resell, like soaps and greeting cards. This smaller version of her business idea is her Minimum Viable Product (MVP), the quickest way to test if her concept will work.
