21A

1.     The general theme of the book was the different aspects and angles you need to adopt to be an innovative and contributive person to the world of entrepreneurship.
2.     This connected with my experience in this class because it laid out different aspects of turning yourself into a successful entrepreneur, which is similar to the motives of each assignment that we do in this class.
3.     Based on this book, I think my exercise would be to write which part of the book relates most with your journey as an entrepreneur, and why?

4.     My biggest aha with this book was when he discussed the chapter about careful analysis of the required factors. I always approach the idea of being an entrepreneur as a general idea, but I forget that there are an innumerable mount of approaches, because each person’s ideas differ so much from other’s.

    Hey Megan,
    I do think what you wrote about the book was interesting, I would have liked to know the title and author in case I felt the interest of reading it in the future. How we approach becoming an entrepreneur is definitely formed by our past experiences, just as we approach any situation. Being an entrepreneur is just another challenge in this life that we take step by step, there can be helpful hints and advice but there is not how-to formula that will get you to achieve success; it’s always a gamble.

    Megan,

    The book that you read sounds very intriguing. It would be great to know the author and the book title in case I want to read the book myself. I would like to know what the different aspects are that make someone a successful entrepreneur. Your aha moment was interesting to me because I did not know that there are required factors to be a successful entrepreneur. Since there are many different industries and businesses I did not think that there were common factors that most entrepreneurs have to pay attention to. I thought that each market is different so the factors change from each kind of business. Great post!

I think my favorite experience with this class is the interactive nature of it. If we weren’t in the small groups, we wouldn’t have had the chance to see each other’s ideas evolve and grow. It was nice to have a few specific ideas that we could follow along with our own. I don’t think of myself as an Entrepreneur quite yet, but I do think I have a different perspective on things. To those who come into the course, I would say be creative in your posts. The more you invest in your posts, the less it will seem like an assignment and the more it will seem like something you’ve created.

25A What's Next?

Existing Market: 1.      What’s Next: There will be no service workers that actually work in the field. The only workers would work in an office or in a remote location where people could purchase details or go for customer service. I would also need to heavily market the product and work on pricing. 2.      After the interviews, I learned from my interviewees that they would prefer a better pricing option than that of UF or Gainesville parking decals. They agreed that, with a product like this that would significantly improve their everyday life, they would be willing to pay a decent amount of money similar to that of UF’s, but would like an option for monthly or quarterly pricing. 3.      For the future, I think the plan would need to focus on improving the current, most similar service, parking. Decals are very present on this campus and I wouldn’t want to introduce something too drastically different than what peop...

My product/service would solve the issue that there aren’t separate roads for scooters in places such as the University of Florida where there are many people who ride scooters every day. This issue not only poses danger but also causes a lot of traffic and makes what should be a five minute commute take 30 minutes. To solve this problem, I would offer a service that constructs roads specifically for smaller vehicles in a place with a lot of walking traffic, such as the UF campus. There would be specific decals for purchase that would allow people to ride scooters or smaller vehicles on the path as well as crosswalks for pedestrians. These could be used with UF parking decals and would attract both students and faculty. It would also benefit drivers because there would be fewer scooters on the road.
