16A- What's Your Secret Sauce?


1) Five ways in which I deem myself different in terms of human capital is that first of all I am Asian so that automatically makes me different and as much as it shouldn't matter, I am going to appeal to many more minorities in my market and many of them want to see a fellow minority succeed in an American market. The next unique quality is my persistence, many people would give up on their first fail of a product but I can't just give up after spending such a long time on something so I am determined to see my idea out. The third attribute I believe that is unique is my morals and ideals. I am a very family-oriented person being the oldest out of 5 children and spending so much time with my siblings taught me to really value the people close to you and the people that care for you and I translate that to my business which in today's day and age of money hungry CEO's and sharks, people will be more incline to affiliate with my company rather than one's who only focus on money. The fourth attribute I'd mention is my knowledge about boats, their mechanics, and general rules and regulations of the water due to living on the water and going boating so much when I was younger. The last human capital I have that is truly unique is my ability to adapt and change my business or product to fit the consumer's needs. 

2) In the first summary, my best friend Jared mentioned my work ethic and focused on how I put 100% into everything I do and not anything less. The next three interviews are from my 3 roommates and I decided to consolidate these into one little summary because they mentioned the same thing about how I am a leader and take charge of things while also having a good work ethic. The next interview was from of my friends from back home, Alison. She focused on my leadership as well as a few other qualities that a good businessman should have.

3) I see myself as a potential leader and a businessman with morals that can help a lot of people while doing well for myself. There are some differences by how I view myself and by how other views me but very small ones. I think what causes these differences is that I grew up being the minority and they grew up the majority so they never saw themselves as outcasted. I don't think I need to make any corrections to my list because everything is practically the same.

    Hi Nathan,

    I really liked how what you recognized about yourself was different about what others saw in you. I think that these attributes really aligned well despite their differences. I also thought that it was interesting that so many people saw you as a leader. I think it is really cool when you can learn something about yourself and have so many sources reinforcing that information.

    Hey Nathan,

    I find it interesting how you were able to recognize what your human capital is. I believe you are well prepared for anything that comes at you. I also find it very cool when we are able to learn about ourselves and create new ideas for others in finding themselves.

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...
