Real Students. Real Stories. Real Business.

Have a business story worth telling?

We publish honest and thoughtful reflections on student businesses. Whether your project was big or small, whether it succeeded or fell short, what matters most is that you built something and learned from that experience. This is your space to share that journey with others. Let your attempt become someone else’s insight.

Why A Business Attempt’s Jounral Exists


A Business Attempt’s journal exists to document the real journey of student builders.
We publish honest, well-written reflections from students who have created something. Whether it succeeded, stalled, or failed, our goal is to capture the growth behind the grind and the value of the attempt itself. In a world obsessed with winning, we make space for what matters more: trying.

We don’t just document student-led businesses we support local ones. Our team offers accessible, high-quality services including website design, brand identity creation, and business strategy consultation. Built by students who’ve been there, our work is thoughtful, modern, and mission-aligned.

Business Services

We treat every client like a story in progress. Our strategy sessions are collaborative, creative, and grounded in what makes your business meaningful. We don’t use corporate templates. We build from the ground up: clear positioning, strong visual identity, and a digital presence that reflects who you are and where you’re going.

The Attempt Awards


The Attempt Awards recognize the most insightful student stories of building something from scratch.
We are celebrating clarity, grit, and the courage to share. Winners will be featured on our site and amplified on our socials. Big or small, failed or scaled, if you learned something worth sharing, submit it.
