16A - What's Your Secret Sauce?

1.) Human Capital:
    - I am a hard worker
    - I have an endless supply of cheesy jokes
    - I am knowledgeable about technology
    - I am very quick on my feet
    - I plan ahead
2.) Interviews:
    - I was able to interview two of my close friends and 3 family members (my mom and two sisters). Both my mom and one of my friends said I am very determined in whatever I do. That I do whatever I can to succeed. This is for school, sports, and side projects I work on. My other friend said I am very competitive. When it comes to pretty much anything I look at it as a competition, in which I have to win at all costs. My two sisters both agreed that I am a very calm person, but I am not afraid to speak my mind.

3.) Reflection:
    - I think the way I see myself and the way others see me are very similar. I for one know I am a very quiet person, but I love to speak my mind. I sometimes take things a little too serious (like the occasional ping pong with my friends) because I am a very competitive person. I do not like to lose in anything I set out to do, even if it is something small like ping pong. I take my school work seriously and try my hardest to achieve the best possible grades I can get.

    Nick,
    I think you did a good job with your reflection. I am not competitive at all so I cannot relate to you in that way. I think being competitive is a good quality to have and I wish I was more competitive. It makes you work harder to be better and continue to improve, even at small things like playing pingpong. I think its great you are aware of your strengths. I think acknowledging them help you with self growth.

30A – Final Reflection

The experience that sticks out most to be is the entire class to be honest. Throughout the whole semester I had to think critically about what I wanted to do for a business. I went through all sorts of thoughts processes in order to come up with a company that could hit the market now. I am also proud that I was able to do all of the assignments on time and correctly to receive full points. I think I have an entrepreneurial mindset after taking this class. I try ever day to think outside of the box and figure out ways to improve tasks. This has gone into my actual job on campus as well. I try to figure out ways to make the IT department more efficient. The main thing I would recommend for students who take this class is to take it seriously and do the work. All of the assignments teach you something different and new that you may have not experienced before. I believe all of the assignments are tied together to fostering the entrepreneurial mindset. In addition, I would say u...

25A – What’s Next?

Existing market: I think the next thing for my service is physically getting it going. There is nothing like my service in the market right now. All three of my interviewees stated that the next step is for me to form the company because others get into the market. The health care industry is changing fast and their will be competitors soon. I think to grow my service in the new market is very possible. There are not a lot of competitors right now, so we can set the standard for prices and service packages. We can start in urban areas and move our way into more rural areas once we get a foundation set. Companies are always trying to find way to decrease turnover rates. With my service they will be able to do this easily because their employees will feel they are cared about more since they will have benefits they did not have before. They will stay with the company longer because they will see them in a new light. New Market: I feel if I targeted an older demographic my c...
