27-A Reading Reflection No. 3


1) I read "The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users" by Guy Kawasaki because in today's day and age, everything from marketing to socializing revolves around social media and I thought it would be interesting to learn more about what I already know about the different kinds of social media. This books main summary is that it is just a compilation of tips and tricks that the author wanted to share with the reader about different strategies of social media and how to use them. The book essentially teaches you how to use the information given to you in order to form social media in your  favor including how to create good content and how to edit and enhance what you post on the internet. One important aspect from the book I remembered was the idea that you can over do it and it was extremely important that you do not post too much because once you do, you lose respect and you just look like you're trying to spam and be annoying. 

2) This book enhanced my learning in ENT because in this class we briefly touched up on some marketing strategies in the lectures and this book really gave me good insight on advertising through social media which is very abundant in my generation. Other than that I think that the whole book revolved around using social media to grow your business and it is essentially what this class is trying to do. 

3) If I had to design an exercise for this class I would have each student make a social media for their business and do some direct marketing and going and asking people what they think about their product based on their social media's and see if people are more interested in the products after seeing a well developed social media. 

4) My biggest "aha" moment was when I found out that there is a limit to what you should post as in you CAN post too much. I used to think that the more you got posts and messages out, the more people it would reach so the more people you may get interested.

    Hi Nathan,

    We actually didnt pick the same book but I did learn a lot about the book that you picked. The most important and most interesting thing that I took away from your post was about the limit on social media posts. I feel like you typically hear that you social media presence is everything and you should be on social media as much as possible so it is great to hear that it is not necessary to an extreme extent. I also liked your proposed exercise. I think it is very practical and can be very useful for a starting firm.

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...
