17A: Elevator Pitch No. 2

-


Reflection: Something that stood out to me in the feedback from my peers was the actual delivery of my pitch. A peer recommended that I have a smaller, but more efficient attention-grabber for my listener and use more of my time for the actual solution to the issue. When looking back at my elevator pitch, I realized my peer was right. Because I spent so much time on my introduction, the solution didn't seem as appealing and I went over 90 seconds.
Changes I made: I cut some of my elevator pitch, using only relevant details to grab my listener's attention and made the main focus about the solution.

27A: Reading Reflection No. 3

The book I read was How to Fail at Almost Anything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams. This book was a breakthrough in my mind because of how it tackles the concept of failure and how to rise above it. As college students, we refuse to be discouraged easily and keep our eye on the prize. In reality, college is a big adjustment, and learning how to accept failure and move forward is an even biggest adjustment. We come to realize that failure is a part of the human experience, which Adams discusses heavily in his book. For a class assignment, I would ask students to interview 3 people they think are very successful in their respective field (does not have to be business-related) and ask questions about their viewpoint on failure and what they felt was their biggest failure and how they overcame it.

*I slightly changed my product from an electronic billboard to an app after some suggestions from my peers, so thank you to those who gave the suggestion :)* 1)  You. My name is Anisha Patel and I see this app as a way to make a stressful life a little less stressful. This past year was the first year I lived off campus and had a car in Gainesville, and I experienced first-hand the issue with parking. And I complained about it, every single time I had to drive my car to campus. So this app would fit in my lifestyle perfectly because I don't have to worry about driving around for 15-20 minutes and worry about timing out the rush hour and the drive to and from my apartment. 2)  What are you offering to customers? I'm offering an app that will accurately post the number of parking spots available for drivers in each parking lot/garage on college campuses. 3)  Who are you offering it to? I'm offering this to universities and students who believe parking is an issu...

My Avatar is like any UF college student: overly involved, stressing about classes but chooses to procrastinate by meeting with friends or doing any sort of activity that will push off the real stuff they need to accomplish. She is a 22 year old out-of-state college student, about to graduate and move on to medical school to become a surgeon. She lives a basic lifestyle and has many friends, but her closest friends are her roommates. She follows politics, but it is not her main focus. She is a first-generation immigrant college student and is interested in the gym, Netflix, fashion trends and volunteering at a local animal shelter. In fact, she adopted a dog named Rico from that same animal shelter! I would say this avatar is an alternate version of me: we're similar but different at the same time. I kind of gave some of the same characteristics as myself, but also generalized others. For example, I have long, dark-colored hair and a light complexion, but also added glass...
