19A- Idea Napkin 2

1. My name is Eric Wendell. I am from Tampa, FL but go to school at the University of Florida. I am organized, people- oriented, and a leader. I am experienced with technology and have multiple certifications. My aspirations are to be a leader in the industry. If I made this app,  my goal would be for it to make every bar/restaurant better business.

2. I am offering a application that allows people to see the line or wait time at any local bars or restaurants. The app will say wait times and it will allow the user to check in so that they do not have to wait in line when the arrive.

3. My customers will be mostly college aged young adults living in college towns or towns that have popular nightlife. Many of these people are students who live the definition of the work hard, play hard lifestyle.

4. Customers will pay for this for many reasons. College towns are notorious for having crowded bars and long lines. This will allow students to prepare for it as well as check in to the bar so that they don't have to wait in line when they arrive.

5.  The thing that sets my app apart is that it will be a free service that all are welcome to join. People will be able to download the app and within minutes see what bar or restaurant they should go to.

Feedback: I wanted to make sure that the app had more features than just listing wait times at different locations. I also wanted to make the app appeal more to people, no matter what their financial status is.

    Hey Eric,

    You did a great job with your post and building upon your idea napkin number 2. It was very cool to see and take the notes that we received from our first napkin and implementing those notes onto the second napkin. Your idea from what I know has a lot of potential and has so much room for success. I agree with you and think its a great idea that you wanted to make sure that app has many features rather than just wait times and all. Appealing to your target market is key and the reason why businesses succeed. Overall, great post and details.

    Hey Eric!

    I appreciated how you kept your idea napkin short, sweet and to the point. It was interesting to see how the feedback and comments from our first idea napkins influenced and soft of altered this one. From what I have previously read about your business idea, it seems like you are on the right track to making it a success. I for one can say that I would definitely be interested in purchasing your application simply because it is a quick and easy way to find out information other than through word of mouth. Nice work!

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. While studying for these exams, I learned that the best way to learn the information was to try and often times fail. Practice problems are the key. I would try out a new problem type. Usually, I would get the problem wrong, But as I tried more, and gained more reputation with each problem, I would start to get problems correct. 2. This taught me that sometimes failure is important. We can learn from our mistakes if there are no mistakes made. This attitude can help people ensure that they are making the most of their time and continually educating themselves. 3.  I think that failure is extremely important. 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

Image
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...
