Throughout this course I have been developing my skills in discipline, timing and planning ahead. With the flexible schedule that we work with in this class it is very easy to put off the work until a later time but I have done my best to stay on top of everything. It is easier to plan out a schedule of your week and when you will do your assignments rather than simply doing everything at the last minute. The time I really most felt like giving up was when I had to drop calculus during my freshman fall semester but then I persevered by taking it later and doing well in the class. It took a lot of hard work but I finally passed the class with a solid grade. I think that my personality overall is just tuned to not give up or give in too easily. I really enjoy the grind and believe that I can do anything that I set my mind to. Three tips I would give to students who take this class next semester are to: 1.) Stay on top of all assignments - The process of doing the assignments can take...

Andrew Carnegie When learning about Andrew Carnegie I was really surprised by a few things. First of all, I wasn't really aware of just how wealthy this man was. He basically had a monopoly on all of the steel produced in the United States at the time he was alive and made a ton of money. I really admire the fact that he gave almost 90% of his fortune away in order to give to charity. I think that some of his business practices could be viewed as unethical in the way that he was very aggressive in doing business and may have unfairly monopolized the steel industry. Carnegie was definitely a very smart and savvy businessman. He was the first real steel mogul in the United States and set an example of how one man could own basically every aspect of a business and become extremely wealthy. His greatest attribute in my opinion is his amazing ability to overcome obstacles and keep pursuing his business goals. One part of the reading that somewhat confused me was how Carnegie was a...

1.) The biggest segment for success is probably the 18-25 year old age when you are most likely a college student. These are the people that the app is mainly tailored to and the people with most likely the least amount of disposable income. This segment is crucial to my app because older people with more savings would be much less likely to need to save up small increments of money in order to make purchases of items that are essential to college students having fun. 2.) The three people that I interviewed all really liked my idea of the small savings to make purchases that a college student would eventually want but might not necessarily have the disposable income to purchase at this exact moment. Each person I talked to really liked the customizable aspects of the app and that they can put in specific items to know exactly how much they need to save in what amount of time in order to make a purchase. 3.) All of the interviewees said that the need awareness can strike at anytime....

1.) My name is Burns Cullen and I am a student at the University of Florida. I have a background in technology and have always been very interested in how different devices and pieces of technology work. I have a lot of work experience in data analytics and I have also spent a lot of time working in kitchens in the food service industry. What inspires me most is the drive to help others and create processes that make things more efficient for everyone. 2.) The product that I am offering to customers is a phone app that is designed to save students money incrementally over time. The app will help students to save a little bit of money at a time without taking too much money out of their account at once. 3.) This product will mostly be tailored to college students who are looking to save money for small things like a little trip or a fun activity. This app will not be for big savings or huge purchases. 4.) I think that customers should care about my product because it is tailored s...

1) The opportunity that I would like to pursue is the fact that young college students and adults aren't saving money properly for their future. 2)  Young college students, and adults in general, aren't focused on saving their money right now, and in turn are entering later stages of their life with less money in the bank. Therefore, there are less people properly prepared to invest or increase economic opportunities in society. The who: Young adults and college students The what: Not properly saving for the future. The why: Young adults are prioritizing fun now rather than later, as well as not being properly educated in saving. 3) Testing the who: I asked a couple of my close friends if their currently saving money consistently. Other than a few birthday checks, all of my friends are not consistently saving money and also find issue in it. Furthermore, I can assume most students at UF and other schools also see that they're not saving for the future. It'...
