13A reading reflection N1


1)    I have always admired Steve jobs, but after reading his book I learned a lot about himself, which is very interesting. What surprised me the most in the book is the ability if Steve to face problems, when he saw that android stole his product, he was willing to go to war till the very end. He was willing to spend the $40 billion dollars of Apple's bank account to win this war because he knew he was on his right. I admired Steve jobs commitment to his work and that he was always thinking about launching new products to become the very best. The least I admired from Steve jobs is that he was very open in his work environment, the book states that jobs cried in many situations in front of everybody, and I think that that shows weakness if you are the head of a company, you always have to be the strong or at least pretend.

2)    He faced many competencies with google - android because according to Steve they were trying to always steal his ideas.

3)    The most confusing part for me was the relationship with Bill Gates.

4)    I would ask him many questions, but if only having the chance to get two I will ask him? What is the key to success? Why did other founders back out?


5)    I think that Steve Jobs opinion of hard work was that always be on the top. Always have the ability to create something new and put it in the table. Before releasing a new product, have already the idea and/or the knowledge of how the next product will be.

    Sebastian,

    I agree with what you mentioned in element 5 about always having your next moved planned. There is a famous motivational speaker named Jim Rohn. One of my favorite quotes by him is: "Before you start your year, plan out your months. Before you start your months, plan out your weeks. Before you plan out your weeks, plan out your days. Before you start your days plan out your hours, and before start your hours, plan out your minutes." I concur with your assumption, that Steve Jobs was someone to abide by a similar discipline of this nature.

    I love apple I owned must of the products, and I think they are excellent sources of innovations, convenience, and technology. I discovered, and I loved. What apple iMovie does would cost a lot in an above premier. Also, I think iPhone was an excellent source of innovation for the idea of a device with apple operative system. In other words, Steve Jobs was a genius.

21A – Reading Reflection No. 2

Inbound Marketing by Brian Halligan *What was the general theme or argument of the book? The general theme was that marketing is not always about making people see at your business name. The theme was that outbound marketing is considered past. The new way to apply marketing is inbound because that is the best way to move forward. Finding essential information about a product, increases the chances to buy the product. * How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? The book definitely was very informative on how to conduct marketing in a business. I have learned that inbound marketing is better, and also that i have to stay away from outbound marketing. It definitely changed my idea on what i think of marketing and gave me a lot of knowledge in my entrepreneurial learning experience. * If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would the exercise involve? The exer...

25A – What’s Next?

Existing Market: 1) I have a lot of ideas and strategies on how to get my application to succeed. First of all, i would need to contact big companies that would like to be part of the app as a marketing feature. For that part, i will have to use my network resource. After getting big companies or big brands in the app, the rest will be marketing the application itself. People would love an application that has many services and needs in just one app. 2) * Matteo, he is 20 years old from the University of Florida. I interviewed Mateo and told him about my business idea and all the goals I have for the business as a whole. He agreed that the next step would be contacting potential brands to join the app idea as a feature. * Jessica, she is 21 years old and she is also a student at the University of Florida.
