14A- Halfway Reflection


1) Behaviors I have developed and used in this course are different from other courses I've taken. This class takes more real world action and developing skills "in the field" if you will because many of our assignments make us go out and do things such as conducting interviews and doing elevator pitches to learn instead of reading a textbook or watching videos to simply learn.

2) I don't believe my attitude has changed much because I never really have felt like giving up on this class because it has been interesting and fairly easy but for my other classes I have definitely felt like giving up once or twice and I've developed a resilient attitude and tell myself that I will get through it and I will do well.

3) My three tips for a student next semester is (1) Plan your day out as soon as you wake up, write everything you need to get done down and you will never miss anything. (2) Even when you feel like giving up, don't, there is always something you can do to make up for something and get back on your feet. (3) Have fun, the more fun you have with it, the less it will feel like work and an obligation and the more it will feel like something you are interested in doing.

    Hi Nathan,

    I agree that we learn practical skills in this course that can really stick with us. I think it is a good refresher after getting bogged down with so many exams that require you to take in so much knowledge. I think your first tip was a really important one. It is essential to plan out your day so you dont miss anything; especially crucial assignments. This is a great way to make sure you stay on top of things.

29A- Venture Concept No.2               I’ve lived most of my life on the water so the beach is a second home to me and we know in this increasing population that means more trash and sadly our beaches and bodies of water suffer from the pollution and debris that all of us humans make. That is why it is my company and product’s goal is to help preserve our beaches for our own benefit. I want this company to do more than just sell products, I want to make a difference in my own community and others dealing with the same sort of problem. In order to fully achieve and facilitate my idea of the sea sweeper into a reality that would help millions of people, I must create an opportunity for myself and have something innovative that someone has never created before or at least to the same efficiency as my product.               The opportunity that lies up...

30A- Final Reflection 1) Reading through all my previous posts from this semester really made me think that you can accomplish so much for a start-up business in such a short amount of time. By doing a little bit for my concept each week, I've seen it grow week by week and with the structure of the course making us go and talk to people and reading material that will not only help us get ideas for our business but the mindset and attitudes we need to have helped me develop a better and more concise idea that I could have on my own. My highs were when I got to read interesting material on business and my favorite was my book on psychology because it really interests me how the consumer mind works and how people make their decisions and my lows would be my elevator pitches because the idea of presenting to investors that could possibly just hate my idea and think I'm stupid is nerve wrecking.  2) My most formative experience would be networking and connecting with ...

28-A Exit Strategy 1) My exit strategy really does come down to if my business is successful or not and how successful it really is. If my business is raking in a lot of money and growing, I think I would keep it and continue to grow it to become a bigger business but if my company is doing okay and I feel as if I cannot make a big difference in the remaining life of my business, I would try and sell it to someone who can grow the business. If I did decide to keep my business, I would keep it to provide for my family until one of my children is old enough to own it, that is, if they wanted to inherit the business. If not, I would sell it and use the money to retire. 2) My strategy relies on what my kids want and how successful I am. I want this strategy because I don't want my children to be born rich and spoiled, I want them to learn on their own, fail on their own so that they can go through the process I went through instead of just being handed money.  3) This stra...
