14A Halfway reflection

Halfway Review

1. To keep up with the requirements of this course you really just need to be on top of your schedule. It is a known thing that each assignment is due every Friday and the next reply due every Monday. Despite knowing this, a lot of times a busy schedule will get in the way and delay you from working on this class. You always just need to carve out a couple hours a week for this class so you can sit down and right or have the time to go out and interview people around campus or in your dorm.

2. There’s been multiple times where I felt like skipping watching a lecture and just guessing on the cupcake questions. I think it’s so tempting but in the end I know it’s wrong. The benefit I get from watching the lectures is too high to miss even when it may feel like an extra couple hours of sleep midday is more tempting. I feel like I’ve always had a tenacious attitude and always pushed through until the end whether it be an assignment or a sports competition, but I definitely feel like balancing a busy schedule in college has helped improve upon my tenacity.


3. Tip 1: Always be thinking how you can go the extra mile. Tip two: always consider what you really want to be doing with your time… do you want to be watching tv or getting work done so you have more time to make meaningful friendships. Tip three: Buy a planner!

    In your first point, you are right that you need to stay on top of your schedule when taking this class but that is like any online class you need to be self motivated and keep track of your own schedule.I agree with your tip one always go an extra mile because you never know what could appear on the tests.

    I definitely agree that staying on top of your schedule is a huge priority for succeeding in this class (and in life). I personally dedicate a time slot every Thursday and Saturday to do the assignments and peer reviews, so that I can be sure I remember them and complete them well. Buying a planner is something I have recently begun to do, and it has changed the way in which I treat my daily life in college.

I still think my most formative experience was my bug list. It was during my bug list that I realized that it is the things that bother you, that bother others, that creates opportunities for business. To me, realizing this allowed me to realize that the opportunity of students needing money and other students having money to spend for a clean room existed. This allowed me to see and open my eyes to the fact that I definitely wasn’t the only with this problem.             My most enjoyable moments had to have come from anytime I interviewed someone. It was always such a fun experience. Even getting rejected by a passerby still made for a funny story sometimes. But there was genuinely nothing better than when I had a great conversation with someone possibly interested in the idea of my business or my business venture.             I’m honestly proud of finishing up the ventur...

College Cleaners The opportunity that this venture is based off of is that college students living in dorms have a problem keeping their room straight and clean. Students have this problem because they lack the time to clean their room since a lot of time they have an issue adjusting to a busy schedule. The other main factor that causes students living in dorms to have this need is that they a lot of times aren’t used to cleaning after themselves. A lot of students grow up with their parents or someone hired to clean their house and their room. For this reason, it is hard for them to keep track of all their belongings when they are compiled in one room. This need is required every two weeks and on an occasion of messier students, every week. This statement is based off of asking LaZ Dorm, who offers a cleaning service, how often their services are required. After being in contact with the owner, I am well aware and certain this this need is required every week to two weeks. The f...

My exit strategy is one that I don’t see happening for quite some time. I plan on building this business up for the foreseeable future. This business I don’t believe has the ability to go public, however, I am sure that it can definitely expand past just the UF campus. This exit strategy if I had to assume, would come later down the road. I would continue to run this company and invite top and higher executives if I was able to expand the business. I would bring in more experienced and well-developed professionals to aid me in growing the business, however, I wouldn’t give away too much power as seen with Apple and Steve Jobs. I would then sell the business, most likely to a private equity firm, when I felt that I had expanded it enough and want to go on to other ventures.             The reason that I feel that I would stay on working for the company is because I see that this model could be successful past just the UF campus....
