30A Final Reflection

Image result for 97 of the people who quit too soon are employed by the 3 who never gave up

   1.    I went back and reread through some of my older posts and was able to answer the following questions below.

   2.   I believe for my most formative experience it was all of the assignments that we had to uncover opportunities this gave me a new perspective on how to approach business. If you are solving peoples problems that is a sure way to make money. The experience I’ll remember for years is one of the most recent celebrating failure. Like Thomas Edison failure isn’t a stopping point it’s just a way that didn’t work and I believe this will be helpful throughout my future. My most joyous experience was at the beginning the bugs assignment even though it was a bit tough it was a helpful assignment for the class and it gave me the opportunity to complain. Finally the experience I pride myself on most for accomplishing was the elevator pitches because they were so nerve racking of all in my opinion
.
       3. I definitely see myself more as an entrepreneur than I did at the beginning of the course. I have moved much closer to the mindset of an entrepreneur because I am more and willing to except failure and have moved out of a comfort zone.

     4.   For the students in the future who plan to take this course I would recommend keeping an open mind and setting some time aside for this class. For the best performance in this class I suggest getting as early start, working ahead and paying close attention to the assignments instructions. To foster this mindset I would say look at the people like Steve Jobs and other inspirational characters that didn’t give up even when they failed or come so close to failure and pushed forward.

    I also found the assignments that required us to find opportunities very informative as they allowed us to see a group of problems, and sometimes even solutions, that we may have never seen before. I also agree that setting aside a bit of time to get an early start on assignments is a great tip to succeeding in this course!

    Hi. Love that photo and that movie. I agree with you, keeping an open mind and working ahead sounds like good advice for the next wave of students taking this class. I am glad you see yourself more as an entrepreneur, that is the point of the class! I have enjoyed reading about your concept all semester so nice job on that. i Hope to see your product in the market sometime.

7A Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1

1.The opportunity: Drone Surveillance  2. The Florida Game and Wildlife and Game Commission are unable to survey and successfully cover the dense wooded areas of national parks and hunting grounds. This is because no human can see or be in multiple places at once. The who: Florida Wildlife and Game Commission The what: they are unable to cover an entire National Park or hunting ground The why: It is physically impossible for a person to be and see in multiple areas at once. 3. Testing the who? are there others who have this need ? There are businesses, farms and gated        communities who also have this need.  Testing the what ? Places like private homes would probably be using private security cameras, there would be limitations or government regulations to abide by. There may be delays due to bad weather. Testing the why?  I believe not everyone would be on the same page, private hunting clubs may not need drone surveillance, o...

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 d...

24A Venture Concept No. 1

Opportunity My opportunity is drone surveillance. The drone surveillance can be used to survey land, watch over farms, 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 to get 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 fairly big I feel people would feel more at ea...
