17A- Elevator Pitch

-
For this elevator pitch, I made sure to fix my posture and have better eye contact.  I also worked harder to convey the details of my business and give my personal background this time.  I look forward to getting more comfortable with this pitch and sharing it with others.

    Hey Emily,
    You definitely improved on your second pitch. You did not look down and kept eye contact. Advice I would give you is to stand up because I think that would feel more natural and it is great practice. I also think you should dress up more business casual. Lastly, I would memorize your pitch. It would make you more confident and it would feel more natural. Overall, great job.

    Hi!
    You seem more comfortable and confident in this second version of your elevator pitch. You spoke about your own personal experience with late night snacks, which provided a nice anecdotal aspect to your pitch. I agree with Monica in that dressing more business-like would add a level of professionalism to your pitch. The speed of your pitch is at a good level and it was easy to follow. Overall, great job with your elevator pitch!

    I think that you made some really good improvements to your original elevator pitch. You kept your eyes looking at the camera (person) which conveys confidence. Not to mention, I really enjoyed the personal reference to your experience with food options in Gainesville. It made me feel like you could relate to the problems that other people have. I believe you could improve by practicing your speech by standing and using some gestures. Without standing, it is harder to convey passion and connect with the person you are speaking too.

6A – Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

1. More companies are choosing to keep their businesses in the United States rather than outsourcing. A) Where I found it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2018/03/21/outsourcing-in-the-new-normal-three-trends-reshaping-the-global-industry/#4135d0ff53fa B) Why I believe info may suggest that an opportunity exists:  I believe that this info is encouraging for American businesses because people are more aware of the products that they are buying and the work that is going in to make them.  The article that I found from Forbes.com suggests that the new presidency has caused this economic trend to be even more prevalent as Trump emphasizes the importance of supporting American companies.  More businesses can compete with popular shoe-making brands that often outsource their productions since people will like the "American appeal." C) Prototypical customer- Large businesses should be more cautious of this economic trend because while they may pay more ...

26A- Creating Failure

-
1) This past October, I failed to keep myself organized after visiting my hometown for my cousin's wedding and I left my laptop at home on accident.  I needed this laptop for work as well as homework assignments and a test that I had the next day.  In order to get this laptop to Gainesville as soon as possible, my mom had to ship it to me in an expensive box with insurance and the total cost far exceeded what I would have liked to pay.  While this was not a cost that I had planned for, I had to pay it because I needed my computer in order to complete my responsibilities. 2) From this experience I learned that it is important to keep track of all of your belongings and helpful to make lists when travelling with important items.  These lists make it easier to ensure that one has all of their belongings and knows exactly what they brought so that they can make it back home with everything they came with.  Additionally, I learned that it is overall important to s...

30A – Final Reflection

1) Read through your posts from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread. I can't believe this is one of my last posts for this course.  This semester seemed to fly by and so much has changed since the first few classes.  Throughout these past few months, I have turned a desire for late-night breakfast food into a detailed vision for a place called "Stacked."  Along this journey, I have gotten to talk to so many incredible people to hear their insight and get tips on how to better improve my idea.  While I have had many great experience, I have certainly experienced times of stress.  There have been days that I waited until the last minute to do an assignment and was frustrated that I couldn't complete the assignment to the best of my ability due to the fact that I didn't have enough time for my desired efforts. 2) What stick...
