Elevator Pitch No. 3

From the last elevator pitch everyone told me that they liked my idea and that I should follow through with it. Over the course of the time between these two elevator pitches of have taken people's feedback and used it in creating another one. In this pitch I tried getting straight to the point and also I tried to speak louder.

21A Reading Reflection No. 2

I read "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams" and I thought overall it connected to this class very closely. The main idea in this book was to put your family and close friends above the other in your life and not to take anything for granted. 

This connected to this class because of the entrepreneur mindset. I have the same mindset because Scott also talked about how it is important to put in all your effort in everything you do.

If I had to create and exercise I would make everyone tell me what business they would like to run if they had to become an entrepreneur. 

My biggest surprise after reading this article was how composed Adams was able to stay after constant defeat and how he would continue to go right back to work.

20A Growing Your Social Capital

My older cousin Andrew used to go to school at the University of Michigan and he saw that library space was a problem there too and made a change and went to the head of school acting as a huge amount of the students. He gave me many ideas when I told him the problem here at the University of Florida.

Market
My friend Johnny is opening a study and tutor for tougher classes in business and biology. He is targeting the same ages as I am and he gave me many ideas on how to get some of the students on his side. By giving bar tabs if you join and also many coupons to food places on campus.

Supplier
My buddy had an internship who used to ship and package books and library materials last summer and told me how much space is actually needed to create a library. I was talking to him over email the other day and he kept telling me how important it was too have space for all of these materials.

Overall it is definitely so true that it is who you know and not what you know. Many of my buddies here gave me tips on how to start this idea and how to do it.

19A Idea Napkin No. 2

I am a student and determined worker who strives to always do my best. I am constantly looking to become a better person. I like to show myself to people with my work ethic because that is what I am confident in the most. I also Love talking to others and I'm always open to making new connections which I think will help me once I get into the real business world. I plan extending library space on campus and also extending the hours that they are open. I think with using my skills to talk to the head people at the University of Florida I will do well in making changes.

My customers will be receiving more space on campus to study and also the versatility to study at any hour during the day. Students at the University of Florida are in need of this and can agree with me that study space on campus is very limited.

The feedback I got was perfect for me because it was directly about my idea. Over time I have implemented what others have said to make my idea better. I just have to continue on talking to the public to match their ideas with mine.

17A Elevator Pitch Number 2

After taking the feedback and reviewing my last elevator pitch I saw that mine needed to be a little bit longer and also I needed to be more into it. Some of the points I make I need to emphasize them a little bit more and tell people exactly what the problem is here. The first one was definitely professional and I must continue to speak loudly and clearly like I did in the first one. After reviewing the feedback I got from my peers I have tried to extend and improve my elevator pitch.

18A Customer Avatar

My Customer Avatar

My customer's favorite hobbies include hanging with family and friends, enjoys all types of sports, and working hard in school and in any task. My customer's work ethic is something that describes them the most because that is what will make you successful at the end of the day. My avatar has a stable family and a couple kids and mainly just has his life in tact.

Overall I have a few things in common with my avatar and that is the dedication to my work ethic. the main reason for this is so that some day when I'm older I can just sit back and relax and enjoy life. Also I enjoy watching sports just like my customer does. Lastly my customer avatar is interested and in need of more library space just like I am to make sure my work ethic continues.

16A What's Your Secret Sauce?

My Human Capital:

Out Going: I believe that being out going has helped me with relationships and also it helps with being able to communicate with people.

Flexible: Being flexible is something that is necessary for the real world because things can change at any moment.

Team Player: I always am willing to help someone out and work well in groups.

Creative: I try and think out side the box when I can to create a gap between me and others.

Competitive: Being competitive is important because I always try to do my best.

Interviews:

Burcal: "You are extremely out going and can talk to people with ease."

Nol: "You are always ready to grind and put in the effort to succeed."

Ceej: "Ceej talked about how were are similar in the fact that we both always go for the best grades and have the same mindset."

Mom: "Always ready to work hard and do whatever it takes to do well and is ready to work whenever."

Bechtel: "You are always up and ready to go and never want to fail and thats what makes you special Nick."


Overall throughout these interviews it is seen that is important to set yourself apart from others with your characteristics. The one thing that is the most important is hard work I believe because you can struggle with something and then end up working hard and being really good at it. Having a good work ethic is extremely important here at college but even more important in the real world and that is what I mainly got out of this assignment.

15A Figuring Out Buyer Behavior 2

Following my three interviews this past week I saw that these three people had one common answer and that was that library space on campus is limited and the hours aren't long enough. Even within the community of Gainesville I asked around and they agreed too because many students are ending up using the public libraries nearby and it is conflicting with the lives of the people in the community. Although this would increase taxes and tuition a little bit everyone was not really worried about that because they figured if they had the right place to study and do well in college it would pay off in the long run. Not only would my idea help create more space on campus to do work but it would also extend the hours of the places that are open today. This mean that the students that attend University of Florida can go to the library without having the hassle of finding a table whenever they want.  Even if they have a job which one of the girls that I interviewed did they still will have time to go because mostly all of the libraries will be 24/7.
