Idea Napkin No.2


Me: My talents are within my work ethic. I will go to great lengths to see what I contribute to succeed. I aspire to be successful. It does not matter specifically what the goal is, I want to accomplish it. When it comes to my scooter business, I want it to be successful. It will be related to my name but in the future I only want people to benefit from it. I don’t need recognition for it.
What are you offering to customers? I am offering a service that will provide a form of transportation to the people who are on the University of Florida campus. The campus already has bus systems but there are long ranges on campus where the bus system does not reach. I witness people on the campus speed walking or even jogging across campus when running late, but this scooter can help them.
Who are you offering it to? This service is being offered to a wide range of people. There are young students who are 18-23 typically on the campus. Also it will be of assistance to the older faculty that want to utilize the service too. The one thing everyone has in common is that they are all people on the University of Florida campus.
Why do they care? People will invest in anything that is convenient and reliable. This service is one that will benefit all year long and it will help take the worry off being late places. Instead of worrying about having to park and run, customers will know that they have a resource to get them to their destination quickly.
What are your core competencies? There is no other service like this on the campus. It will be the first and it will remain relevant because once the convenience is put out there, then it will be seen that it can be set apart.
Business ideas are the most successful when they align with the need of the customers. As long as the idea also is altered with the changing needs of the consumers then it will continue to thrive. Since, this business is able to change its price, the types of scooters, and it has a head person that is willing to change, then everything intertwines perfectly to be useful.
Feedback Memo: One of the big feedback was failure to mention if the service would be convenient or not. So, within this idea napkin the idea was to stress that it will be convenient. The second piece of feedback was not speaking on what do all of the target consumers have in common. With that being said, it was stressed that this will be a benefit to anyone that comes to the University of Florida.

    I think you did a very good job taking your feedback and using it in your idea napkin #2. I really enjoyed how easy it was to follow and understand who you are, what your product is, and who your intended market is. I noticed how you said in your feedback you got a lot of comments about making it clear who exactly you were selling your product to. In this post I feel like you made it much easier to understand who your market is and really narrowing in on who those specific people are. I feel like you really took your feedback serious and improved your idea napkin.

Forming an Opportunity Belief

Ever since I began high school, I have become consistent with working out at the gym or being physically active in general. Most people want to go to the gym, but do not feel access to the proper resources or mainly they do not have any outside motivation to go. The majority want another person to go with so it will help keep accountability. My idea is for each gym, starting with YouFit, create an app. This app will have a profile for each member of the gym after they sign up, and then there is the opportunity to add friends or groups to your personal account. This will allow for more interaction and an individual can find other gym partners. The world is moving fast with technology, so this is an opportunity to use technology to help with personal fitness. I am 90% sure that this opportunity exists. Interview 1: Diaunte, Junior, Age 20 1.      How often do you go to the gym? “On a good week, I will go at least 3 times.” 2.  ...

Final Reflection

Image
When it comes to this course the thing I enjoyed the most and the thing I am most proud of go hand in hand. It would have to be the elevator pitch video. I did not realize how much actually goes into the pitch. Also, challenging my mind to be creative with it has helped me grow. Since the beginning of the semester, I have grown. I did not believe in myself that I could have an idea and capitalize on it. However, going through this course made me realize that I have the capability to configure a business venture from start to finish. For those who choose to take this course in the future, I recommend really thinking in depth and in advance when doing the assignments. Your business venture could be only confined to these tasks, but at least you are able to grow mentally if the time is put in.

Identifying Local Opportunities

1.      Rays stadium debate used to be contentious. Now, it’s just stupid. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2020/01/31/rays-stadium-debate-used-to-be-contentious-now-its-just-stupid/?clearUserState=true In Tampa, Major League Baseball team The Rays have been going back and forth with the City Council about the construction of a new stadium. Trenches have been dug all around the stadium, but there are negotiations that the team might actually just move to Canada. However, residents around the stadium are not being informed about what is going on. The Problem: There is not a way of communication between all three parties within Tampa. The team, the City Council, and the residents of St. Petersburg is all on different loops. Who has the problem: Those residents with businesses around the stadium are having their roads and buildings broken up because they are anticipating a new stadium. However, this only hurts their businesses and...
