Chad Girnun Principles of Entrepreneurship

Idea Napkin 2 1. My talents that related to my business are my way to connect people socially. I feel that I am extremely extroverted and do well in social settings. Furthermore, I have always been able to connect others. If I know two interests or desires between people, I feel that I have always been able to link them together. This relates strongly to my business that would connect a customer with a cleaner. I feel that I could do this and create a comfortable environment using my past knowledge of how to please people while helping them find others they have things in common with. 2.

They then go to class, go back to their dorm, complete homework and go to either a fraternity or sorority house for lunch, or eat at one of the pod markets on campus. This student walks an average of about 5 miles a day because they are living in a campus dorm and don’t own a car. They commonly spend their free time on four main social media platforms. These platforms are Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter. They spend most of their free time hanging with friends at night after they have gotten dinner and completed their work for the day. They don’t have the free time necessary to clean their rooms and either use the “La-z Dorm” laundry service or do their own laundry.             One of the reasons I was...
