14A- Halfway Reflection

1)     This course requires a proper understanding of time management. Every week, I watch my Monday and Wednesday lectures on time, and then complete my weekly assignments on Thursdays and Fridays. I believe that this course is very helpful but it can also be easy to fall behind and miss an assignment. It is important to remember that there is word due every week.

2)     I believe that I have always been tenacious and rarely feel the desire to give up, especially when it comes to school or this class. I believe that one must develop a tenacious attitude, and once it exists it will never go away.

3)     Tip one- always stay on top of assignments and announcements on canvas
Tip two- get in a habit of scheduling your weekly work, that way you never fall behind, which can easily happen because this is an online class
Tip three- think outside the box; your business idea can actually become successful in the real world if you apply enough tenacity to your work.

    I also set out certain days of the week to do my blog posts so that I would stick to a schedule. However, I found it difficult at first to remember to complete my peer reviews over the weekend, but once I did more of them it became more routine. I also liked your tip #3 and found it very helpful for future entrepreneurship students.

    I like that you watch your weekly lectures on time. This is something that a lot of students fall behind on in online classes so it’s important to stay on top of all work and assignments so they don’t overwhelm you and then you forget things. I also used to struggle to remember the peer reviews on the weekends but now that I’ve got a good routine down it’s much easier.

Final Extra Credit

For this assignment, I would ask students to create a list of five of their interests and hobbies. Entrepreneurs are often more successful if they create a business based around something that they have previous experience in and know well, rather than tackling a random new idea. Take these five hobbies and interests that you have identified and identify two businesses that are related to the activity that you have chosen that already exist. State the opportunity that those businesses have outlined and how you think they were able to capitalize on this opportunity. I believe that this assignment will help students develop a mindset of identifying opportunities within a market.

6A – Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

Image
My first economic opportunity is about keeping franchise restaurants open past conventional hours in college towns where students are more likely to stay out and eat late. I found this idea from witnessing college students eating trends. College students are much more likely to eat food later than the normal adult. The prototypical customer would be college students in towns such as Gainesville, Tallahassee, and any other large school party school in the United States. I believe that the opportunity would be relatively easy to exploit, as all the franchise managers would need to do is calculate the cost to employ people verses the potential profit margin. If the calculations come out profitable, it would be easy to exploit this opportunity. One regulatory opportunity would be to enforce stricter taxes on online purchases for websites such as Amazon.com. Currently there is no sales tax per state when ordering items online. If a sales tax was instituted based on where the item was o...

27A- Reading Reflection 3

Image
1.       I believe that the general theme of this book is that there are certain mindsets that you can adapt that will help aid you to success. Also, failure can be inevitable and should not hinder you from trying to succeed. 2.       This book was relevant to what we are learning in ENT 3003 because it explained the different ways that one may fail when they begin a new enterprise or business. This book explains how failure can help aid one to success and to not let failure discourage one from trying to create new businesses even if their first one does not end up successful. This enhances what we are learning because the main objective of this class is to create a business plan of our own and formulate a path to success for our own businesses. There are over 500 people in this class, and if we were to all actually follow through with our plans on starting and running a profitable business, very few would be successful. In “How to ...
