Exit Strategy
After careful consideration and complete understanding of what the company has planned for the future I plan on continuing to run the company as the future holds so many avenues for revenue and growth. This decision is primarily centered on the idea that the future will see tremendous growth in the electric vehicle industry and will only foster new avenues of growth in the long run. Further the application of the discoveries far outweigh simply dropping the company and letting it fall short of what could be achieved.

Celebrating Failure
During my time in college I have failed many times, whether it was an exam or failed a friend or family member. During all these failures I learned quite a few things about the nature of the world around me and the nature of myself. I discovered many vital things concerning who I am and who I want to be. The worst failure I experienced revolved around the time I failed an exam in my last math class. The reason it was so important was because this final exam changed everything regarding how hard I had to study and what I had to do to ensure I passed the class in the long run. The small failures or large ones we face everyday and every year are what allow us as individuals to grow and understand what must be done to maintain a healthy life. This class in particular has allowed me to grow individually as it has promoted discipline and handwork.

Venture Concept 1-The Electric Avenue
The culmination an opportunity in our society can be quite hard to dissect, however, I believe that an opportunity exists in the automobile industry. These individuals I have witnessed and understood are more intrigued everyday by the growing fuel efficiency and capabilities of electric cars. These cars can be either both electric and gas powered or completely electric, regardless the demand and overall need for them is growing at a substantial rate.
The unmet need that seems be growing is the need and/or demand for electric cars. the individuals who need these vehicles is small at the moment but is growing due to the growing crisis of global ecosystem changes and the safety and affordability generated from electric cars. This need grew and has existed for quite a long time and has only become more popular as the cars become more powerful than existing gas powered vehicles. People are more than willing and are currently do exactly was was expected in terms of purchasing new electric vehicles. I am more than 90% sure an opportunity in this market exists. The opportunity that I have witness growing both in my community and around the world concerns itself with the growing and popular interest in the electric vehicle industry that aims to revitalize and reestablish a basis for reliable energy in vehicles. I find that this opportunity grants quite a bit of room concerning what I can focus on and what is needed to deliver a service or solution for the problem that exists. The problem that specifically exists is the misunderstanding of the opportunities and benefits behind electric cars for most Americans. They are quite unaware of the benefits and help to signify a less than robust industry for the vehicle. The solution to this problem is developed in two stages. The first acts as an informative agenda. It helps inform the public of the benefits of the type of vehicles but does so in a way that it is meaningful for them and not some general overstatement that they feel doesn't specifically address there needs. It will help recognize their overall vehicle usage, expenses and what they seek in a vehicle both realistically and imaginative. The second helps with the development of a project utilizing existing vehicles. Rather than develop an entirely new vehicle, which is both time consuming and costly, the redevelopment of existing ones will help show them the benefits the vehicles have other overs. What I am proposing is the use for instance of a specific model and then simple redesigning the car for their specific needs. They will then be able to use the vehicles for a short period of time and recognize that they are more than capable of performing similar to gas powered vehicles and even most efficient. The proposal does present some flaws but is capable of generating a large community of support. The product or service provided is quite concrete and helps provide insight into the overall benefit of the electric vehicle and how it can positively impact their lives. I hope to inform the public not only of the social and financial benefit but also regarding the environmental impact that will allow for future generations to maintain healthy lives. The business plan seeks to develop the current state of the electric car phenomenon and encourage the public to value their overall existence.
My Ventures Unfair Advantage
The resources that truly set me apart and offer me an unfair advantage over competitors is listed below:
1. Family connections- While this may be an apparent advantage for many, my family has a long list of individuals who work for some of the biggest companies and are more reliable and easy to speak with then most people.
2. Character- the ability to strive to create the best environment of the people around me.
3. Setting Goals - The act of actually writing down my companies goal will helping me drive performance.
4. Financial backup from family and myself in order to build the company.
5. Open-mindedness allowing me to take in what others are proposing and determine the best fit and course of outcome for the given products.
6. Development Resources including the usage of certain developmental machinery and other various resources.
7. Strategic Bending. The ability for myself to see a strategy unfold and bend it in the given time frame in which I proposed or someone else proposed the idea.
8. My perceived generosity and can see as an ability to quickly storm my ideas but is unlikely given that I do not falter under pressure.
9. Improvised planning and accommodation planning as seen fit for the company.
10. Attitude that is beyond the companies reach and only fosters further development in the end.
Overall in the end the best resource I see as the most opportune for company develop is the ability to garner new ideas and work with what is given in the particular situation the company faces.

Inbound Marketing, Brian Halligan
In this assignment I went ahead and read Inbound Marketing, by Brian Halligan. Halligan's text was quite interesting as it took a well developed approach at discussing the downfall of certain social media platforms and the continuing decline in some mobile and online forms of communication and hinted at more economical and effective ways at contacting the public. I found the book quite interesting in regards to the amount of data collected in arguing these view ideas and it truly helped solidify the idea that in order to truly develop a product and get the correct audience to see the product certain platforms must be utilized in a certain manner that help promote the best costs. The most surprising part of the text was in reference too the growing dislocation of many forms of communication that are still regardless vital in everyday life.

Growing My Social Capital
In order to develop the idea I have proposed and to see with going through with it I need to establish a line of individuals who can help bring capital in both intellectual and financial form. These individuals must be dedicated and the best. This list compiles the most important three.
1. Richard Opena. They work as an information manager of the company Polestar, an electric division of Volvo, dedicated toward bringing electric cars to fruition. This individual is a domain expert, capable of providing great resources for the company in all domains. I found this individual while contacting a few companies that are based in the industry. I asked for all viable information regarding their projects and what hopes they have.
2. David Wallter. An expert in the market and area I am trying to sell for. They are housing managers for a large firm that searches for the most profitable business ideas and develops them further through capital enrichment. I found him searching for development enterprises and believe he is an important asset to the company overall.
3. Ahad Virani. An important supplier for the company. He is a heads development manager at Tesla and has a surplus of vehicles that can be used to fully developed the company motto of informing the public of the overall benefits of the vehicles.
Overall the search for the targeted experts was quite fulfilling and allowed me to search other avenues in order to fully grasp who I would need to develop my company.

Idea Napkin No.2
In regards to the feedback made for the original idea napkin I found that many greatly supported the proposed plan. Many recognized its ability to garner sufficient results once completed and even admired its jump toward the future. However, upon further reflection myself I did notice a few flaws regarding its initial proposal and how it would be implemented into society to attain the necessary data. I was quite concerned with how I was going to achieve this but recognized some form of new business ideas were manageable and necessary. The two main points taken from the feedback received concerning my post centered around how I was going to push my idea to the public and what business proposals would be made after achieving a sufficient number of supporters. These two variables are quite significant to me and have helped my further my thinking regarding the proposal at hand.
1. The fundamental concepts that I feel govern my actions are clearly reflected in the business model I proposed. My talents range from being able to identify an opportunity from an array of problems that individuals face on a daily basis. Further I am well-spoken meaning when conveying the ideas of the business proposal I do so in a manner that is easy to understand and offers the individuals I am speaking with an opportunity to fully grasp the ideas I am trying to convey. Further my aspirations regarding my business proposal are centered around informing the public of the overall benefit of new tools around them and further I hope to establish a basis for further development in a growing industry. I see the business as an opportunity to gain further assess into the automobile industry. With this assess I would hope to gain the ability to further revolutionize the industry and establish a basis of excellency not yet established.
2. The product or service provided is quite concrete and helps provide insight into the overall benefit of the electric vehicle and how it can positively impact their lives. I hope to inform the public not only of the social and financial benefit but also regarding the environmental impact that will allow for future generations to maintain healthy lives. The business plan seeks to develop the current state of the electric car phenomenon and encourage the public to value their overall existence.
3. The demographic this product is being offered too is those who currently maintain or will gain financial security, meaning there ability to provide for themselves and their families is met and their overall wealth is substantial enough to purchase or lease an electric vehicle. The individuals will be of all age ranges and ethnicity but will mostly be advertised to those individuals living in suburban and rural areas as these areas will surely show greater signs of improvement upon the entrance of an electric vehicle into the household. The psycho graphics are centered around those that seek an affordable car and hope to save a substantial amount of money. These individuals are not concerned with glamour and seek only reliability and feasibility.
4. I believe that customers will pay for this service because it provides them insight into the overall benefit of the vehicles and gives them experience in driving the vehicle. The vehicles themselves display an overall cool or interesting factor that many individuals find would be quite in-joyful to experience. Giving them this experience will only produce greater avenues for purchasing an electric vehicle.
5.What set me apart from everyone else is my overall belief in my product or service. I have the determination to produce a large wave of support and understanding for the solution to the current problem facing many individuals around the world. I will seek out, unlike others, every opportunity for improvement in order to refine my current proposal and help those around me.
Overall every aspect describes does an adequate job to fully describe and deliver every aspect of my business. Further, the current views can be held as quite definitive as they address and answer all fields of the business proposal. With this in mind there are a few weak points that are quite noticeable in regards to the proposal such as how effective will it be toward gaining momentum. Will it slow down at a point when most if not all individuals purchase electric vehicles? These questions arise quite steadily and must be address accordingly.

Customer Avatar
There are many different type of customers in the world of business. Many of them are ideal for the service or product of one company and dangers for others. In this post I hope to identify what a prototypical customer would look like in terms of our services.
The typical customer we envision is one whose live style is centered around promoting change and seeking development. This particular individual lives in a relatively nice neighborhood with a nice car and nice home. These individuals are focused not only on the growth of themselves but there family. They seek enjoyment through various avenues and are capable of many different things. The typical customer spends most of there day watching the news and informative television shows and is a very avid reader. They are not bothered by the continuous degradation of modern society but are more thrilled for what is too come. They fall between the age range of 30-45 and are very willing to disclose their age among others.
There individuals share many common attributes with myself as they seek the development of not only themselves but others. They are filled with the desire to enact change and are willing to see it come through. Further they many common characteristics between myself and my customers are fairly high and can be seen through the curiosity for change.

Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No.2
The type of individuals I interviewed for this segment are those that I believe fit perfectly for the needs being met. The individuals interviewed were those who economic status was considerably high and who were socially and politically inclined in order to fully grasp the nature of the opportunity and what it holds towards the future. During the interviews the interactions were slightly different as they were not directed toward simply attaining an answer and calling it a day, but rather they were more focused toward evaluating and analyzing the overall effect being made by the opportunity and what it will foster in its later stages. The individuals interviewed hinted toward the necessity of price and felt that finances truly drove whether or not they would purchase the product or service or if they wouldn't. The individuals focused further on the ideas of how beneficial the service would be in the long run and helped me further understand the overall significance of what is being offered. It helped create a larger picture for the amount of information needed toward creating the project and what needs to be implemented for success. In terms of alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and post-purchase evaluation the segment is quite profitable and valuable and offers an incentive for success in terms of the buyers and the producers who seek profit and comfort. Overall, the interviews helped initiate further analysis.
What's Your Secret Sauce?
1a. What makes me unique is that I really enjoy working in a fast-paced atmosphere with lots going on.
b. I have a natural ability to get along with people that has helped me to stand out in previous roles
c. My unique skill is that I’m creative-minded and that helps me to see things from a different perspective.
d. I am able to identify, analyze and document opportunity and change that is effective for learning.
e. I have been able to lead many teams in order to develop leadership and cooperate skills.
These traits are a few that truly set me apart and are what I have been able to use throughout my whole life to better not only my experiences but also those around me. Further I feel these traits are truly valuable in their ability to garner results when necessary.
2a. After interviewing Jacob, I found that he understood my ability to analyze and identify issues in the world we live in. Further he spoke of my tenacious attitude when in the face of adversity.
b. The interview with Jessica helped me understand that I am quick to jump on any opportunity that presents itself. Further my desire to understand and seek out knowledge is something I would not have attributed to myself in the first place but does fit accordingly in some respects.
c. David hinted at my desire to retrieve information at a moments notice in order to gain the competencies I need in order to function on a day to day basis.
d. After interviewing Elizabeth it was brought to my attention that I am willing to question those around me regardless of what I being discussed. Further she admired my shameless attitude in which I am willing to say the facts rather than voice irrelevant opinions.
e. Claudio insisted that I was demanding but in a manner that creates results and that I think outside the box in most situations. something that we both feel is something all entrepreneurs require to be successful.
3. The list I created the values that others recognized in day to day interactions with me are quite accurate. When assessing my own values I tend to be quite aggressive and severe as this allows me to truly determine if these traits are who I am. I use this same mentally when assessing others as it usually garners quite accurate results and helps me understand those around me.
Halfway Reflection
1. In order to effectively keep up with the course and truly develop an understanding of the material being discussed on a daily basis I have dedicated a tremendous amount of time toward truly amercing myself into the assignments given. The ability to set aside the time to reflect on each assignment and truly analyze what is being asked has contributed greatly toward my success in the class and is an attribute students need in order to succeed completely. Further, the tremendous amount of attention to detail has truly allowed me to develop a more concrete mindset in terms of the assignments at hand.
2. There have been quite a few moments in which I did not believe I would be able to muster through. These moments include developing the entirety of the opportunity I feel is most opportune toward developing a product or service. During this time my judgement was clouded due to an inability to fully recognize the entirety of what was being written and done. I was unable to see the full picture nor the end of the road. I was able to overcome this simply by assessing what my opportunity truly meant to me and the public. With this in mind I truly feel like I have develop a tenacious attitude during the last few months and will be able to succeed in the remainder of the course with ease.
3. The tips I would offer next semesters students are quite simple: always complete your assignments on time, go above and beyond, truly grasp what is being asked in each assignment, and finally do not over complicate what the objective is.

Figuring Out The Buyer
Upon interviewing individuals in the demographic and psychographic identified earlier I as able to heavily address the needs they are most concerned with. Further, when these needs arise and what they constitute. Upon further analysis I was able to capture a larger scoop of the need and truly deliver the solution and viable effects of the information. For instance, during one particular interview there was a growth in the need during a specific time of year versus another. This helped to deliver the overall opportunity home as it compensated for this change. The information searched and discovered was quite useful and was completely identified in order to sufficiently produce a viable answer.

After reading The Wright Brothers by David McCullough I became informed about two inspiring entrepreneurs who achieved the impossible and excelled in their craft. What surprised me the most regarding their journey toward success was there abilities in the past. They showed no signs of being able to achieve air travel due to their background in simple machines such as bicycles. It was inspiring to know that an individual with the ability to recognize an opportunity and with some determination and drive can achieve anything they set themselves up for. In regards to what was least appealing regarding the brothers I found their journey to be less than worth-wild and was somewhat simplistic in nature. I wish they traveled a journey more suitable to their craft. I recognized that they each displayed an overwhelming amount of knowledge, courage, and drive to achieve their goals. Further they displayed a confusing trait, one in which inhibited their overall performance in the beginning when facing criticism from the public and others. The primary questions I would ask would be how were you able to easily brush off the opposition and what helped solidify the drive for success. I believe with these questions I could be able yo truly understand their definition of hard work which most likely centers itself on being the best and seeking opportunities.

Testing the Hypothesis
In order to further run tests on my hypothesis concerning my opportunity I have conducted interviews that help to illustrate the need of the service/solution and what people believe this product/service is.
Who: Individuals of above average wealth and those who maintain steady and financially gifted jobs.
What: They are unaware of the benefits of electric cars and are uninformed of what similarities they can share with gas powered vehicles.
Why: Current means of informing the public are limited and vehicles seem to be only advertised toward those who seek them out. Many people are unaware including most families of reasonable income.
When interviewing the families and individuals this most pertains too I found a considerable amount of people who recognized the need for the vehicles as the age of gas powered vehicles decreases. I also found that they needed as much information concerning the vehicles as possible due to a limited amount of understanding and knowledge of them. I further helped them understand and found a large correlation of people who misunderstood the overall definition of what gas powered meant.
Inside the Boundary:
Who is in: Those of reasonably considerable wealth who are able to lease of finance the vehicles entirely
What the need is: A growing idea of what social, economical, and environmental benefits arise upon the growing demand for the product
Why the need exists: Many are feeling the constraints of gas prices and the growing decline of the environment due to emission levels. Also a desire for saving and practicality.
Outside the Boundary:
Who is not: Those of considerably low wealth who are unable to afford the product
What the Need is Not: A means of purchasing an electric vehicle nor a benefit for opposing sellers.
Alternative Explanation: Any and all individuals and company not attuned toward progressive measures.
Overall my findings helped to show an increasing amount of support for the proposed solution and helped govern a method toward pursuing the solution in a more practical and efficient manner.
Who: Individuals of above average wealth and those who maintain steady and financially gifted jobs.

Overall my findings helped to show an increasing amount of support for the proposed solution and helped govern a method toward pursuing the solution in a more practical and efficient manner.
Solving the Problem
The opportunity that I have witness growing both in my community and around the world concerns itself with the growing and popular interest in the electric vehicle industry that aims to revitalize and reestablish a basis for reliable energy in vehicles. I find that this opportunity grants quite a bit of room concerning what I can focus on and what is needed to deliver a service or solution for the problem that exists. The problem that specifically exists is the misunderstanding of the opportunities and benefits behind electric cars for most Americans. They are quite unaware of the benefits and help to signify a less than robust industry for the vehicle. The solution to this problem is developed in two stages. The first acts as an informative agenda. It helps inform the public of the benefits of the type of vehicles but does so in a way that it is meaningful for them and not some general overstatement that they feel doesn't specifically address there needs. It will help recognize their overall vehicle usage, expenses and what they seek in a vehicle both realistically and imaginative. The second helps with the development of a project utilizing existing vehicles. Rather than develop an entirely new vehicle, which is both time consuming and costly, the redevelopment of existing ones will help show them the benefits the vehicles have other overs. What I am proposing is the use for instance of a specific model and then simple redesigning the car for their specific needs. They will then be able to use the vehicles for a short period of time and recognize that they are more than capable of performing similar to gas powered vehicles and even most efficient. The proposal does present some flaws but is capable of generating a large community of support.

Identifying Opportunities Elsewhere
Economic:
1. https://www.governing.com/gov-institute/voices/col-regional-housing-mobility-economic-opportunity.html
There is growing evidence that housing mobility can help families move up the economic ladder.
A promising approach to promoting housing mobility is to help families participating in the federal housing choice voucher program find homes in resource-rich areas. The opportunity itself relates heavily for a growing demand to reuse and reestablish housing as an effort to promote the people of the region. The most likely customers will be those who seek the housing and feel it outweighs available housing. The opportunity may be relatively difficult to exploit when starting as housing may need to be made available and refurbished but other it should be easy.
2.https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2019/05/13/maximizing-ais-economic-social-and-trade-opportunities/
The opportunity to develop and expand on AI is something that is entirely useful and is quite easy to exploit so long as it provides benefits for all including those who don't belief in its overall success. The AI world is something that can entirely be used to control and redistribute the wealth and social status of people around and can be used heavily in further research. I belief an opportunity exists here and will continue to exist so long as the parameters of development are met.
3. Regulatory Action
The development and instillation of regulatory action centered of redeveloping and reusing power plants is something that may be key in designing new projects and continuing research on power supplies. I believe and opportunity like this can be exploited based on the large amount of plants the growing want to redesign them to be better.
4. Regulatory action centered on the establishing limits for air pollution on vehicles is something that promotes a degree of development in the electric vehicle industry. I believe something like this can be exploited and will be used by all individuals who seek practicality and affordability.

Local Opportunities
1. Fair Labor Standards Act
https://tampabay.legalexaminer.com/workplace/labor-employment/fair-labor-standards-act-update/
This opportunity rests on the idea that individuals should be granted the right to higher wages and circumstances that create a sound and safe environment for them and their families. The idea that higher and fair standard wages is an opportunity to create a situation that all feel welcomed and invited too. This opportunity hits both local and national levels and is something worth diving into.
The individuals facing this problem include those who are struggling to attain jobs that are centered at promoting healthy environments.
2. Electric Buses
https://www.gainesville.com/news/20180830/city-to-get-electric-rts-buses
The situation that Gainesville is facing right now is both economical and progressive. The attempt to establish electric buses that will replaced gas powered buses is quite the opportunity to show the importance and capabilities of electric vehicles. With this instillation the city will surely experience an increase in the number of visitors due to a sign of progressive influence. The situation in itself will benefit us all and is a direct attack on the increasingly large disbelief in the global conflict against global warming.
3. Health Concerns
https://www.gainesville.com/news/20190531/northeast-florida-community-health-assessment-spotlights-lack-of-access-to-care/1
Health concerns are something that has considerably diminished the ability for many individuals in the region to continue living a healthy life. This article helps illustrate a opportunity in the region that shows the decreasing level of medical assistance and its need for regrowth and redevelopment. The issues has affected many but mostly those in the more impoverished level of society and is plaguing many children and women are who are unable to contribute for themselves or others.
4. Alcoholic Beverage Sales
https://www.gainesville.com/news/20190531/sec-lifts-ban-on-stadium-wide-alcohol-sales
The issue facing UF directors and consultants of sports related events revolves around the sale of alcoholic beverages. While I myself am against the sale of beverages due to exploitation by minors it does present a viable form of investment as sales are likely to be quite high and will only garner results unparalleled by the non-alcoholic sales being made. The issue itself is a manifestation of taking the opportunity to advance current sales and create a circumstance of considerable wealth.
5. Meetings for a better future
https://www.wcjb.com/content/news/Gainesvilles-citizen-led-charter-review-commission-underway-510647281.html
The commencement of weekly, monthly, and annually meetings has become a prized opportunity to reevaluate and redesign existing policies and those that threaten the people of a growing city. The issue being faced is in regards to a growing advancement of meetings centered on reaffirming the peace and safety of citizens. However it could be used as an opportunity to greatly strengthen the city and the unity of the people for much more developed projects that pursue on redesigning the city as a whole.

Opportunity Belief
The culmination an opportunity in our society can be quite hard to dissect, however, I believe that an opportunity exists in the automobile industry. These individuals I have witnessed and understood are more intrigued everyday by the growing fuel efficiency and capabilities of electric cars. These cars can be either both electric and gas powered or completely electric, regardless the demand and overall need for them is growing at a substantial rate.
The unmet need that seems be growing is the need and/or demand for electric cars. the individuals who need these vehicles is small at the moment but is growing due to the growing crisis of global ecosystem changes and the safety and affordability generated from electric cars. This need grew and has existed for quite a long time and has only become more popular as the cars become more powerful than existing gas powered vehicles. People are more than willing and are currently do exactly was was expected in terms of purchasing new electric vehicles. I am more than 90% sure an opportunity in this market exists.
I interviewed a few people regarding the if this would fit in there needs during this period.
Cynthia Stephens-a white suburban mother of 3
Exact Nature of the need- The interviewee understood the need was based on the growing demand for electric cars and understood it overall benefits. They became aware of the need and pondered the purchase of an electric vehicle on multiple occasions as it reduced fuel consumption and overall presented a safer option for the family. They became aware of the need upon seeing the reduced cost of the vehicle and the time they were involved in an accident that presented a threat to the children in the vehicle. They are not currently addressing the need, however are more than willing to do so. They are happy with the possibility of acquiring a electric car that can provide for the family needs.
David Gilliam-an African american father of 2
The same results were obtained from David concerning an electric vehicle. He provided examples of the need for the vehicle in his home similar to Cynthia.
Louis Guangzhou-
Louis failed to recognize the nature of the opportunity and was quick to dismiss such a radical change in something he already has. He was unable to recognize that an electric vehicle may be a viable alternative in comparison to a gas powered vehicle.
Liam Nelson-
The overall usage and development of the electric vehicle is something I am willing to dive into as it presents to me and my family an opportunity to reduce our costs and extend our ability to change the world. I truly believe that when I became aware of the opportunity of electric vehicles I was given an opportunity to preserve my families safety.
Reflection: I learned quite a lot about my opportunity and its relevance in the lives of others. I also was surprised at how willing people were to change and how understanding many people were in acknowledging the growing demand for electric vehicles. Overall I feel the interviews went quite well at capturing the public eye.
The original opportunity presented was still pretty much there but was slightly less intact. Many people recognize and pointed out varying flaws in the opportunity and were quick to question its overall growth and sufficiency. I believe that with the adjustments such as maintaining a vehicle with both electric and gas powered abilities.
I truly believe that entrepreneurs should adapt their opportunities based off of customer feedback. This is due to a variety of reasons mainly those stemming from that fact that the customer is usually able to truly disclose what they desire and what the general public desires.
My Entrepreneurship Story
The first time in my life in which I was exposed to entrepreneurship was when I was in high school and a public speaker came to visit to discuss with us the importance of his practice and how business is a growing field of study many of us should consider. He himself owned quite a few companies in the area I was born and helped instill a business leadership mindset that we could possibly build upon in the future. he helped us understand the ideals needed in order to grow both financial and individually to benefit ourselves and others. From this experience I became intrigued in the field of entrepreneurship which is one reason I am taking this class as of today. I hope to get out of this class a better understanding of the field and help build upon the existing mindset I was exposed too at a young age.
Bug List
1. Imperfections on my phone and computer
-Every time I look at my phone or open my laptop I see nothing but large smudges are various other messes I was not aware of. Each smudge and dust collection that appears haunts me, as it represents a degree of uncleanliness in my own life style.
-Upon further inspecting each smudge and imperfection I've come to the conclusion that they exist simply due to my oily hands and the various other messes that can accumulate during my daily usage.
2. Tangled Wires
-Particularly my headphones and charging cable for my iPhone 5s. Every time I reach into my pockets to use these wires I find myself struggling to untangle them, wasting precious time to listen to one song before I head to class or jump on the bus.
- The most probable reason this bug exists is because every time I place these wires in my pocket or backpack I simply shove them in without first giving them a proper form to maintain. I simply put them in my pocket at a already seemingly tangled form.
3. Obnoxiously Slow Walkers
-Possibly the most disappointing part of my day is being stuck behind a group of people or simply one individual who walks painfully slow to class. During my walk to Physics I've come to fall short of being able to pass people just before the sidewalk narrows, leaving me stuck behind slow walkers.
-I believe the bug exists for a few reasons. Mainly people are just not fast walkers or they're unenthusiastic about getting to class and beginning work. For me it is simply not timing my myself and therefore getting stuck behind others.
4. Lines
-Maybe twice a week I go to Panda Express in the Reitz Union to get a quick bite. While the taste of the food outweighs the line I find myself losing precious time having to wait in line that stretches all the way to Starbucks located opposite Panda.
-The bug exists, at least from my point of view, from the absence of workers taking peoples orders. Usually one panda employee is taking orders and fulfilling plates so the line tends to grow longer and longer due to inadequate serving times.
5. Faulty Pens
-Unlike most students who use their tablets and laptops to take notes, I continue to use pen and paper to get my notes down. During my recent math class my pen that I've used for no more than 3 wees suddenly stopped working. This infuriated me as it was a relatively new pen and I needed to finish my notes. The continuously uncertainty of a pens reliability bothers me every time I use them.
-Why does this bug exist? Maybe due to pressing down on the pen too hard while writing or maybe leaving the cap off causing the ink to dry. These are two reasons I usually ask before throwing one way if it begins acting up.
6. Computer Mouse Disconnection
- Every so often when I use my after market computer mouse it will suddenly stop responding and disconnecting. This becomes the most annoying when I am completing work for my engineering classes such as Solid Works that requires me to be able to build parts and rotate them to check dimensions and other various criteria.
-Why does this bug exist? Maybe it is the fact that it is a relatively cheap after market mouse or sometimes that when I am using it, it falls on the floor and may knock some components around.
7. Low Milk Content
-Every morning I wake up and make a bowl of cereal before I start my daily activities. However, this can all go downhill if I don't have any more milk left. I face this problem at least once every two weeks in which I forget to run to my nearest Publix to purchase milk.
-Why does this bug exist? I guess it is a failure to plan ahead and make a "need-to-do" list which I very much need to do.
8. Profusely Sweating when Walking to Class
-One of the biggest downsides of walking to class during the summer is sweating and I do not mean some sweat I mean large amounts of it. It inst due to improper exercise, I am a power lifter so I think I know what I am doing, but rather it is due to the excessive heat and the clothing I wear sometimes.
- Why does this bug exist? Well one, because we are human but two because I tend to wear very form fitting clothing that is sometimes too large or two thick, only contributing to excessive sweats.
9. Unanswered Returned Messages
-Something that bugs me more than anything is the fact that when I am unable to answer a message for any reason and I have to therefore call back later and you don't answer
10. No WiFi Signal
11.No Food
-When returning from work or from school I sometimes come across empty pantries and refrigerators. Such as the other day. I made my way into the kitchen in hopes of eating a Tostinos pizza only to come to find out that we were out.
-Why does this bug exist? Over consumption of food during other days and a failure to purchase enough food. I usually write down my daily intake to get a good idea as too how much I need to buy during a given week.
12.Runny Nose
-The most annoying bug I come to find myself facing every 5-6 months is a runny nose. The idea of not being able to smell through both nostrils and having to continuously wipe my nose is quite bothersome.
-Why does this bug exist? Usually caused by a mild cold or allergies, this bug comes into fruition due to uncleanliness and sometimes failure to stay away from heavy pollen.
13. Assignment Not Submitted
-This bug mainly concerns itself with Canvas's inability to always download assignments quick enough or sometimes not submitting assignments when selecting submit assignment. This has happened to me multiple times for some of my early engineering classes and continues to haunt me.
-Why does this bug exist? Usually due to faulty internet connection and overly large files that cannot be submitted.
14. Socks Always being Inside Out
-Every morning before I put on a new pair of socks I find myself struggling to get the turned the right way. Once I remove them from the dryer I usually just stick them in the drawer, but this doesn't necessarily mean they need to be placed into the drawer properly to not get messed up.
-Why does this bug exist? When washing and drying clothes all kinds of things can happen. I tend to see the most inside out socks once I remove them from the washer.
15. Excessively Hot Room
-To avoid high utility costs we tend to keep the air conditioner quite high, usually around 78. When we do this, however, we unknowingly heat up the rooms that have open windows to scorching temperatures.
-Why does this bug exist? Failure to close blinds and failure to keep ventilation throughout the house.
16. Doors that are Hinged Too Tightly
-This problem is greatest around the New Physics Building on Museum Road. The doors are so new and heavy that they don't open without a great amount of force. I find this bugs me a lot when I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like putting all my strength into getting a door open.
-Why does this bug exist? Possibly due to faulty hinges or lack of attention when construction began.
17. Radio Always on Blast When Entering Car
-I tend to always listen to loud music while in my car. I use it as a form of relaxation. However, whenever I leave the vehicle I sometimes forget to set the radio volume down. Usually once I enter the car my ears are already buzzing in pain before I can quickly react and turn it down.
-Why does this bug exist? Attention to detail in our daily tasks even those are that quite redundant. Such as "OK the radio is off because I turned the car off therefore the volume should automatically lower". Wrong,
18.Reckless Drivers
-Sometimes I drive my car to school since I live relatively close to campus. On my sometimes daily commute I am nearly always inches away from someone texting while driving or driving without a care in the world for the safety of others.
-Why does this bug exist? I suppose most drivers are too busy or in a hurry and don't consider the ramifications of getting into an accident and would rather bypass the smallest bump in the road than slow down.
19. Forgetting Necessary Items
-Every so often I forget one or two things I need desperately. For instance, being getting on the bus to get to class I forgot my UF ID. All bus drivers require some form of identification that you attend the school since we receive free rides. I nearly went into full panic mode when I couldn't find my ID, however, the bus driver recognized me and granted me assess.
-why does this bug exist? We tend to overlook certain details in our day to day business. Placing little emphasis on the things we take for granted and placing more on others. Sometimes this can be problematic as those things we take for granted can easily disappear without notice.
20. Grammatical Errors
-While this blog may have some grammatical errors that a proof read did not pick it. I tend to take complete car for spotting and removing any errors that may conflict with the cohesiveness of my work
-Why does this bug exist? Sometimes due to improper handling of material but most likely due to blissful ignorance when faced with the correct way to use certain punctuation.
Challenges:
I think the biggest challenge when making this list had to do with the idea of actually looking back into my own daily agenda and picking the items that I feel truly upset or disappoint me. It required a lot of self reflection in order to appropriately name 20. This challenge was by far the hardest too overcome but was surely pleasing to endure.
-Every time I look at my phone or open my laptop I see nothing but large smudges are various other messes I was not aware of. Each smudge and dust collection that appears haunts me, as it represents a degree of uncleanliness in my own life style.
