Reading Reflection No. 2


How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams

1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?

The general theme is basically keeping working hard consistently even if setbacks do come up. We are programmed as people to want more in life always and we have to use what we have in order to achieve more.

2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?

It gave me some good insight that it is okay if we do not always get what we want. On the other hand, you will still be successful if you are being consistent and working hard.

3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?

The exercise I would design for this class would be sort of a reflection forum. It will challenge students minds by looking deeper into the failures that they have. With these failures, I want them to analyze how that in life put them in the place they are and what did they learn from it.

4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?

The biggest thing that stuck out to me is to stop setting goals. Goals have a buildup and they have flaws associated with them too. You have goals in mind but if they are not met by a certain day then that only brings disappointment and discouragement. Instead, put in a system that will help you get to where you want to be in life and be consistent with it. This way you will continue to work hard, and your accomplishments will be felt much more in the end.

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...
