14A- Halfway Reflection


You will have to be able to push past the negative comments some people leave and have to get over your fears. I do not like speaking and even in the elevator pitch, I pushed past it and completed it. Also, when you find an idea you think could work, you have to change it up minority to what you first thought it would be. You'll have to be able to tweak your idea no matter whether you think it needs it or not. I have learned in this class to implement people's ideas about my idea and pick the ones I agree with and try to mutate my idea to better fit their ideas as well.

After one of the assignments about the different consumers, I only really came up with two or there different customers and that for most products is not enough. My device being for medical needs though don't have that many different customers. I thought for a second about switching my idea to something else but then realized the people that could be helped with my product. Just getting out of a cast personally gave me a better realization. Also, down the road this invention could be worth a lot of money and if I was to sell my patented idea to an investor or medical institution, I could make a lot of money. I definitely have developed a tenacious attitude about my product by this point.

3 things I would say to a student going next semester is to start out with an idea you truly believe in. Then feel confident about your idea no matter what everyone else says. Do that but also don't be so stubborn that you won't tweak minor details others say because it might just make it better.

    You're elevator pitch was very well done, I had no idea that it was a dislike for you! It's pretty impressive that not only were you able to do it but do it so well. I definitely agree with taking into account the feedback - it can be pretty helpful to refine and better your ideas as the course moves along. Your product definitely seems worth pursuing. Not only for monetary reasons, developing it could lead to important medical growth.

4A An Opportunity Belief

I believe that the opportunity for a extremely high skilled real estate team is needed in the Tampa Bay Area. My belief is due to the numerous bad realtors there are in Tampa Bay and how there are minimal large teams. Conducting a real estate transaction takes multiple parties to all come together to sign off on the deal and this can be really difficult on a single agent. There are some teams already put together in the area but none in the way that I plan to do. I have experience working for the team with the most sales in the Tampa Bay area, the Bell-Henderson Team. Even that team though is not broken down how I wish it was. They are just a large group of agents acting as a team but all doing all of the tasks themselves instead of dividing tasks according to the person with the most expertise. The need for this team is ultimately from the individuals buying and selling real estate. They need to be represented by a team who can do what is best in their particular circumstance inste

28A- My Exit Strategy

My exit strategy is to sell my product to the distribution specialist after they realize how big of a market it could be and how it could be implemented after like 3 to 5 years of running it myself. Hopefully it would be by then that I would be able to sell it for over a million  dollars and with that money I would use to start up my real estate development business. I selected this exit strategy because I do not really want to make this my entire life. The typical entrepreneur makes their products their entire life and makes it their prime focus of their life. I want my life and my business to be about how to create a business with my family and successfully run it. I have spent the last three years of my life and am going to spend the next 2 years trying to learn all about business and all about the best practices. I want to utilize all of this information for the best and make my own company with what I have learned. This exit strategy has influenced my concept mostly because I d
