I did not receive any negative feedback on my second elevator pitch. I do not think any of the comments where silly or wrong in any way. I changed nothing based on the feed back but I did add more information about the company in this elevator pitch and I do feel that I also feel that I was a bit more comfortable in this pitch than in the others before.

1.       Communication V : This is something necessary for any business to succeed. R : Not everyone has this skill in fact many lack proper communication skills. I : Everyone is different so there are communication skills making everyone unique and non-substitutable. N : People can communicate but doesn’t mean they are doing it in a way the customer understands. 2.       Banking Experience V: This allows me to better understand how to make a legitimate business in Florida. R: Not everyone has the knowledge or experience. I: Only those that have worked in a bank know the process and actually worked with business accounts. N: Without working through the process and dealing with the requirements it can’t be done any other way. 3.       Connections V: Connecting can be good to accomplish goals or increase sales. R: Connections are hard to come by especially useful ones. ...

1.        The theme of the book Mindset: The new psychology of success by Carol Dweck was basically about changing your mindset to help yourself overcome challenges and achieve greater success. 2.        The book discussed two different mindsets, a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. People with a fixed mindset were more likely to give up or convince themselves they could not achieve what they were seeking after failing to reach a goal or simply failing a test while those with a growth mindset seen failure or challenges as learning experience. This connected with ENT 3003 because I feel that an entrepreneur must have a growth mindset because he/she may fail many times before reaching their goal. 3.        Based on the book I would have the students of ENT3003 to make a list of ten possible challenges or failures an entrepreneur may come across in his or her career ( five challenges ...

1.        My talents are organizing, and planning strategies, keeping records, as well as bringing people together and creating ideas to reach my achievements. My skills are persuasion, sales, management and communication. I have experience in selling products, loans, speaking and different forms of retail. I developed management skills and business development skills from UF and communication skills from FGC. I have high aspirations in life especially for business I want to start from the bottom i.e. working underneath someone to a franchise nationally maybe global. I could see this as a beginning foot hold on many businesses to come. I would use this to create other businesses in the future. 2.        I plan to offer my products and services over a wide range of clients from farmers to government entities with my drones videoing and capturing things like landscapes, cattle, crops, and even criminals. 3.  ...

What stood out to me the most was the comment that I didn't differentiate my company from others. This was also the most surprising and was the most helpful for the pitch. I didn't feel like anything was wrong or silly in my feedback. Based on the feedback I tried putting more pep in my pitch and show more enthusiasm. I also tried to differentiate my company more in this pitch 

Some hobbies my customers have are traveling to new places looking for adventure and exploring. They are collectors of things like firearms they have a love for the outdoors and enjoy activities like hunting and fishing. They often drive 4 wheel drives like Silverado 1500 or Ford F250s also sports cars like mustangs or Camaros. Most often the vehicles are black or grey. They enjoy watching TV shows like The Walking Dead, Cops and Planet Earth. Most have no more than two children there are very few without any children. Many are not big readers however, will occasionally read political articles and future policies many are supporters of Trump, McCain. They are in their mid 20s to early 30s they have a passion for catching criminals and nature. I would say I have a lot in common with this customer avatar. When I was young I loved anything about the military and as I grew older I wanted to be a game warden because I loved nature. As I grew even older I became interested in politics ...

1. For my three people I chose Brett Gill a game warden with FWC, Carl Beiling a farmer with lots of pasture field, and UCSO Officer John Riggs. 2. In Mr. Gill's case what matters most for him is quality, he needs something to take photos/videos in harsh environments well enough to prove a crime is being committed as well as proper evidence for a conviction. For Mr. Beiling his main concern is the price, because he is elderly and the price of cattle fluctuates therefore he prefers to keep his costs low. Officer Riggs actually has two factors in his customer segment both price and quality. Obviously he needs good quality similar to Mr. Gill for recon and catching criminal activity but his second driving force is price this is because it is a small county that has a limited budget that they need to maintain and be mindful of when making these decisions. 3. If Gill were to be looking for the product himself he said it would be more likely of him to buy online. Mr. Gill's equip...

1. Time allocation would be one I found to quite helpful for example I have a class that is at the same time as this class. This keeps me from being able to sit in on the lectures which are important in my opinion but at the same time time consuming. Therefore I have decided bus rides were a great way to allocate my time by listening to lectures on the bus ride, this means I can use my other time for assignments. Self motivation is another , this class is solely supported by yourself those with out self motivation will find it hard to keep up with the class. 2. I've had several moments in my life when I felt like giving up especially after my mom passed. I've had to constantly remind myself this is want she would want for me. Sometimes I have  to have a pep talk with myself or with someone else to remember how far in life I've come. I do believe I've become more tenacious in the last two months because I am determined to pass this class and move on to the next challen...
