22A – Elevator Pitch No. 3

1) https://youtu.be/cJIXhs1w_iQ 2) The most important part from my feedback was including that voice into my message and using less amount of "words" to describe what I need to say.  3) I definitely shortened my pitch into something direct and to the point! I feel a lot more comfortable around the camera and its also engraved in my head for now! 

23A – Your Venture’s Unfair Advantage

1. Ability to network with upperclassmen who have been successful in their majors. Valuable: This is the main ingredient in my service as the app will be based around these upperclassmen's experience. Rare: I think it's not rare to be able to find the right upperclassmen but it can be challenging.  Imitable: I think anybody has the possibility to be able to network with the upperclassmen! Non-substitutable: I don't think this could be substituted because networking is essential and nothing can substitute it. 2. Ability to understand student's choosing a major dilemma. Valuable : It's valuable because I can understand students who have second thoughts on their major or even are interested in a new major.  Rare: I think it's not rare exactly but it is hard to find students who are 100% committed and KNOW what they want from the start.  Imitable: I think it's imitable to be able to understand students who have trouble deciding on a major si...

21A

1.What I got out of the reading was that it focused a lot on the mind of others including ourselves. When it comes to our talents and our abilities as people, it leans understanding and conflict towards our actions and how we can learn from them. I really like how I chose to talk and read this book, definitely opened my perspective on the growth of the mind. 2.What I have learned about ENT3003 is the it focuses not only on the mind and our physical abilities, but it focuses a lot on what we can do to apply our mental abilities towards our actions. I think that this book truly reflects of this class due to the major thinking and correction from our mistakes when it comes to entrepreneurship and mindset growth. 3.From this book, I think that a really helpful activity that will help promote mindset growth is to do things that we have never done before. The true experience in a growth in mindset is to do something that is out of the ordinary. 4.I really enjoyed this book and I definitel...

20A – Growing Your Social Capital

1) One person must be a domain expert in your industry.   Christopher Juajor, 4th year Computer Science major "This app is definitely possible, the only hardest thing personally would be finding the right experienced undergraduates but I'm sure you'll be able to find them! You have a handful of computer science majors just waiting to use their coding skills to do projects like these, I'll help!" 2) One person must be an expert on your market. Justin Kellen, 3rd year Software Engineering major "I've worked for LinkedIn last summer and they have nowhere in mind to have such a service like this. I think this is really cool. LinkedIn works in networking with employers but for students who ALREADY know what they want to do. What about those who don't know? Really leaves them out of the loop." 3) One person must be an important supplier to your industry.   Helena Rodriguez, Willow Tree representative "I think your idea is very spl...

19A – Idea Napkin No. 2

1)  You.  Throughout my college experience, networking is the reason I am where I am today. This skill is what has offered and kept opening more doors not just for myself but even to my peers. My aspirations are to one day become a Pediatrician. With this business concept, it is through networking that has reinforced my passion and interest in medicine along with child development. I see this business playing a role in my life knowing that I can make a difference in someone's life with the touch of a button.  2)  What are you offering to customers?  The Match, a one-time purchase app, will bridge the gap and serve as a prevention method towards extra costs for undecided students in their majors. This app will serve to showcase all the different majors through experienced undergraduates in that major which will also serve towards connecting them with possible "mentors".  3)  Who are you offering it to? This app would be available and ope...

16A –What’s Your Secret Sauce?

1. I think some characteristics that can incorporate into my human capital are my: Open-Mindedness: Growing up in South Florida, I was engaged in a diverse community where I've been able to understand these differences and the power it can have. As well, as alumni of public education, I have been able to understand the importance of an integrated community of students from different socioeconomic backgrounds.  Training: I have a technical certification in Office Administration Assistance. I've worked with children since my freshman year of high school from supervising a summer daycare to supervising an outreach reading program for at-risk youth to shadowing my pediatrician to tutoring at my previous job. I feel that through this experience, I've been able to understand much clearer the feeling of pressure that many young adults will face when it comes time to choose their major.  Networking : As the social media does offer a platform for a variety of reasons,...

17A – Elevator Pitch No. 2

1.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2erfof_dGA 2)  From my last pitch, I definitely added more voice as well and crunched up my information in a more deliverable manner. The most important part that stood out to me was knowing how to engage my customers through a common interest/relation.  3) I definitely spoke much more loudly and cut off unnecessary information that wasn't needed when speaking. I added a name to my product to give a platform to continue building on. 

15A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 2

1) Interviews conducted:  Sophomore, Business Administration Junior, Neuroscience, Pre-Med Track Freshman, Nutrition Major, Pre-Pharm Track 3) After the interviews conducted, quality was the overall important leading factor into knowing whether or not this would be worth their time. Price was another factor but was only mentioned by two interviewees but only asked if there were outrageous fees, and there wouldn't be any. Quantity is another factor such as dealing with how many resources are there per major in order to fully get a glimpse of what the majors would entitle.  4) The opportunity would be an application where it'll be portable and easily accessible to all students and incoming students with a one-time fee.   5) They want to know that what they're paying for is what they'll get. They want to be sure when deciding on their major and for sure will want to be sure when deciding whether or not to invest a little into their decision. Pressure f...

14A – Halfway Reflection

Image
1)  Definitely, determination plays a part in being able to stay motivated and watch all lectures. The course is very straightforward but requires some critical thinking into your ideas when incorporating it into your blog. To keep up with the requirements, I try my best to not leave it until the last minute when completing my assignments due on Sunday and try to finish it all on Friday.  2) There have been many moments where I felt like giving up but putting my grade at risk was like a slap in the face for a wake-up call and I'd get motivated once more to do my work. This isn't just applicable for this class but in general, you or someone (through scholarships) have paid for this class, a four credit course, not even three and not doing your work is definitely a no-no. I've developed a more disciplined attitude in this course after this experience.  3) 1. Be honest about your goals and don't be afraid to be confident with them. 2. To be ten...
