26A Celebrating Failure


1.       This semester I’ve repeatedly failed to make a good grade in my data analysis class. I’ve studied numerous times and still was not prepared for the task of answering the exam questions correctly.


2.       I’ve learned that sometimes you just aren’t good at something no matter how hard you try to study. You should not give up though because with hard work you can still get by.


3.       I believe failure is hard, it down right sucks! It’s one of my biggest pet peeves to fail at anything it’s a huge embarrassment and it’s hard to swallow. I’ve learned to pick myself back up and keep trying whether you are trying a new method or the same as before. Giving up is worse than failure in my opinion because you fail 100% of the time you don’t try. This class has changed my perspective on failure because it shows us better ways of doing things and knowing that a lot of entrepreneurs fail on their first or even second and third time is very comforting. I have come more accustomed to taking greater risks since I began this class a few months ago , planning bigger opportunities at higher risks in hopes of higher return.

    Hi. Nice post, I am glad you thing failure sucks. I agree with you on that. Some things are more difficult for us to learn than others, what I have found in my studies are that if I genuinely enjoy learning about something, I will try very hard and focus for hours. If I do not care about the subject at hand, it is super tough to learn it. Again, nice post.

    Great write up on how to celebrate failure! I definitely agree that failing is far more honorable than giving up, or worse yet, not even trying at all. I agree that some things, or assignments, or tasks may just simply be outside of our current skillset, but I agree with the sentiment that one can do those things by working hard.

    Hello Chaton
    Great job on this assignment. It is true that there are things that you are just not good at, that is why most mentors encourage people to try find things they are good at(passionate at). However, even if you are not good at something with handwork and learning from your mistakes you get better

15A Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No.2

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

29A Venture Concept

Opportunity The opportunity I chose is drone surveillance. Drone surveillance can be used to survey land, keep watch over farms when owners are not available, and assuring businesses that their companies are safe by monitoring the building to watch for any criminal activity. I feel that those who have the need most are business owners, farmers and police but the opportunity is not limited to only these. The nature of the need is security, due to the high number of crime rates and the large amount of land owned by most farmers the opportunity was created. I would say that customers are satisfying this need already by having security systems installed in their homes, businesses, and farms. However unlike most security systems today the drone surveillance is not limited in movement like other cameras, they are able capture an aerial view. Limited movement can hinder the solving of a crime, with drone surveillance more ground is able to be covered. I believe the opportunity is fairl

8A Solving the Problem

1        My selected problem would be limited resources available like cameras with limited movement to monitor an area. 2      I would fix this problem by creating drone surveillance. First I would build a more advanced drone than the typical recreational drone, this would require some engineering to make the drones more damage resistant and stable during flight. Then I would equip the drones with high quality high definition cameras with night vision technology for night surveillance, along with the ability to zoom in and zoom out while taking photos. This would give the opportunity to identify crimes, license plates, and suspects. From here I could sell the drones to certified government agencies, as for the private customers or agencies not willing to but the surveillance drones, I could fix the problem by contracting team of highly skilled professionals with a lot of flying and drone using skills as a service to survey for them and use the drones instead of their own man pow
