30A- Final Reflection

Image
One of my favorite memories in this class was actually the Elevator Pitch. When the first assignment to do this came, I thought that I would be terrible at it and honestly didn't really understand why we were being asked to do it 3 times. By the time I had finished all three assignments, I defiantly understood. Each time it became a little bit easier and came out a little bit better. It was cool too see the improvement. I also think that my entrepreneurship mindset has improved. Now, when I have a problem, I often times try to think of how I could solve the problem. I have began to identify possible opportunities instead of just complaining about something going on in life. I think that this course does a good job of reshaping your mindset to one that seeks opportunity. If I were to make a recommendation to someone taking this course I would tell them to stick to a schedule and ensure that the idea they choose is something they are passionate about. This makes the assignments a...

26A- Celebrating Failure

1. Currently I am enrolled in Business Finance. This class is extremely challenging and the only thing that counts towards the final grade are the 3, 20 question exams.

It teaches people what they are doing wrong and shows where they can improve. More importantly, failure shows even the most accomplished people that they are human. Failure shows that you need to put 100% effo...

29A- Venture Concept 2

Opportunity:  Since my first day as a college student of the University of Florida, I have noticed a problem that most students seem to agree on. Later at night, the restaurants and bars are often crowded and demand waiting in line for long periods of time. Students constantly complain, and there is no way to make plans ahead because no one knows what establishment will have a long line and which ones wont. Changes in the environment have actually made this a larger opportunity. As the weather gets nicer, more people will want to go out. The other main force is the colleges calendar, as days when there are many exams or no school could affect the wait times at these establishments. College students are all on the same relative schedule, and often times all decide to go out celebrating the same event. A prime example of this is gameday. They still go to the bars even though the crowds are crazy and large. Customers currently just wait in line or go downtown, where less people t...
