Week 9 Reading Reflection

The biggest surprise from my reading was coming to the conclusion that the customer is in control and makes all the decisions rather than the entrepreneur him/her self. What was both confusing yet shocking was reading that mobile marketing is going to be a major key to successful marketing for companies. Two questions I would ask the author is why are entrepreneurs scared by the idea of sampling, surveying, and statistical analysis . Second question would be why is mobile marketing going to be our future. There was one thing is disagreed on . I don't believe mobile marketing is our future because no everyone has a phone nor is it the only electronic we use. 

My Secret Sauce

What makes me unique?

1. I'm part turkish and Venezuelan 

     2. I am a first year generation student

 3. I aways drive myself to to better 

                 4. Lived on a boat for the majority of my life

      5. Traveled to many parts of the world

To summarize, I am aware of the many issues surround animal agriculture due to my major. I'm very independent and hardworking. According to her, I'm also a great cook.

To summarize, I am very creative especially with my innovative idea of producing a bike umbrella.

What makes me unique is my organizational skills and the fact that I'm part Turkish.

To summarize, I do many unique things and is an all around good friend. 

To summarize , I am self motivated and able to get the job done as well as push other to do the same. I also put other first before I put myself.

Those that know me best, and what you've just watched is how I see myself. I am hardworking, driven, loyal, kind, unique and all those traits described. The people that know you best are the best way to know what kind of person you are because they are constantly around you. You can try to describe yourself, but many of us tend to make us look better than we actually are compared to those who surround you on a daily basis and are able to judge your character, and tell you if you did something wrong. To conclude, there are no differences between what I said and what they said other than the fact that I've lived on a boat. After watching the interviews, I can say that I agree with them and I wouldn't want to make any corrections on my list.

Idea Napkin No. 2

Hello my name is Stephanie, I've had five jobs working in retail . In these five jobs, I learned how to sell , lead a team, organize, money handling skills and other operation skills that one would learn from working in retail. My skills other than what was listed above are, creativity in the arts, computer skills, first aid , food safety, etc. In the field of entrepreneurship , my aspiration is to be able to graduate with knowledge on how to succeed on being a better entrepreneur so that I can open my own business one day and have my product be sold in multiple stores. The product I would be distributing to other stores via my business is a bike cover that would protect the rider from both the wind and rain while biking. The product would be clasped around the bar under your bike seat and will extend over your wheel and then go over your head towards the bikes handle bars. Think of a cover you'd find on a car. However, with the feedback that I have recently received there has been a few adjustments made. Due to the fog and rain drops, a small heating mechanism to heat up the cover will be emplaced to allow the rider to have a clear view of the road. Small adjustable wind wipers will also be attached to the cover. All will be powered by solar energy. Although this may seem bulky the product will still be able to collapse to a carry on bag. Due to this being being only made for bikes/scooters, my aim is to sell this product to all bike and scooter riders , especially those that are in school or bike to work. I believe bikers will buy my product because like me, I struggle to ride when it's raining. It worse when I get up in the morning and I'm in a rush but when I leave the house it's raining so Im forced to walk to class. Those like me have probably thought to themselves while they was to class, that they wished there was an umbrella attached to the bike. The problem with that however, is that an umbrella won't be able to protect you from the wind and the your belongings might get soaked.

                                                          Feedback Memo
During my round of interviews, I received both good and bad feedback from those I interview and those that commented on my blog posts. Hearing these feedbacks opened my eyes because I never thought my inventions had an faults. It's a simple product, however even the simplest things can cause the most problems. I realized that I didn't think of the visibility of the product and how the rain would affect the cover. The cover will now have wipers, to clear off the rain, and a small heating mechanism to clear off the fog. With all these feedback, I hope to make a better and safe product.
