27A – Reading Reflection No. 3

I have decided to choose the book How to fail at almost everything and still win by Scott Adams from the reading list.

*What was the general theme or argument of the book?

The book basically said that having only one goal is for loser people. The only way to be successful is to have multiple projects/goals. You have to try all your projects until one of it is achieved. That is what really matters.

*How did the book in your opinion, connected with an enhance what you are learning in ENT3003?

The book has definitely made me consider being a little more selfish about some stuff I did not know. I have to take care of my self and chase all the goals i want.

*If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?

An exercise that involves students setting at least 10 goals, and at the end of the week students have to come up with how they will chase those goals, strategies etc.

*What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? in other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?

It made me realize a lot of things that changed the point of view i have. My aha moment was when "Grab failure by the throat and squeeze it until it coughs up a hairball of success". You have to try and always learn from failure even if seems everything bad, there is always something good to learn. Luck can be managed, sort of.

    Sebastian,

    I think your exercise tailored for this class would be fun. The exercise would also give people vision. Once goals are written down, the next step is a plan. Your designed exercise requires you to do both. I feel like this will give students a realization of what goals they really want to accomplish over others. Also, great choice of book. The title of the book has me tempted to add it to my collection.

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?

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.
