My Secret Sauce

1) I think what makes me different is that I do everything out of love. The amount of patience I have is ridiculous, sometimes I am even surprised. It takes a lot for me to get angry and I never choose to let someone down. If it happens it is because of something unfortunate or out of my control but I try as hard as possible to always put others before myself. I think I care a lot, maybe sometimes too much but it is better than not caring at all. Regardless, I always need things to be perfect which drives me crazy at times because not all things can be. I also feel that my creativity is very diverse and I can adapt to many situations, I try to solve problems as fast as I can and always try to be happy no matter the circumstances.

This video is of my roommate, Cristal. She believes that I am a dependable and reliable person. She also thinks I am motivated and ready to change anything in my life if it does not benefit me. 

This video is of my friend, Juliette. She thinks that I am different because I am independent and kind. Like Cristal, she says that I am reliable and willing to help others. Like I mentioned in the first part, she also says that I care a lot, which sometimes leads to freaking out because I need things to be perfect.

This video is of my roommate Arianna, it is very short but she feels that I am a very friendly person and I can adapt well.

This video is of my friend Michelle and she feels that can easily make someone feel welcomed and that I put others before myself.

3) I definitely think that my interviewees understand me very well and are right about me. They seem to understand that I have nothing but good intentions and how much I care about them! It makes me really happy and I do not think that I would change anything that I said about myself in the first part of the exercise.

Week 9 Reading Reflection

The biggest surprise for me in this week's reading is was that there are three different philosophies for marketing among new ventures. The one that i disagree with is "production-driven philosophy". In my opinion, it's too risky. I did not find anything confusing in this reading, it was very informative. If i had to ask the author two questions I would ask "Do you agree with the production-driven philosophy?" and "if you do, in what kind of scenario or for what kind of business would this type of philosophy be really successful if applied?". I do not disagree with anything that the author said. I felt that this reading was very relevant and a lot of it were things that I was already knowledgeable about.

Idea Napkin No. 2

1) I am someone who cares a lot about people. I always put others before myself and try to make an impact in people's lives. I am someone who is very creative, considering I am a Visual Art Studies major. I see Go-Go Rides playing a role in my life for the better. It would help all UF students tremendously, this way I can impact every single person that uses my service.

2) With Go-Go Rides I am offering an easier way for students to get around more efficiently all around campus. I would solve unmet needs by facilitating getting to class on time. It would really benefit everyone on the UF campus with a Gator 1. Anyone with their Gator 1 would be able to rent bikes all around campus for a low cost.

3) I am offering my service to anyone on campus with a Gator 1, specifically students. Students who are not so good at managing their time or maybe just have bad luck with the bus system. 

4) There is no reason why any UF student would not appreciate my service. I think it would be very beneficial to all students. They would care for my service because it would be provided at a very low cost and it would be very easy to use as well as accessible. 

5) I think that I am very driven and my ability to help others and be involved with the community is special. 

I definitely think that all of these elements fit together. There might be something like this that already exists but not many know about it and it is not something used by many. I would like to make it popular and make it an actual service that all students are aware of. I do not think that there are any aspects which are weak or out-of-joint with the others. I am very eco-friendly and care just a much about the students at my university. I wish to make an impact all around. 

Feedback memo:

3. Some students believe that this type of business or service might already exist somewhere on campus but it is not well known or used so I should go for it!
4. Unmet need for many on campus
