Goodbye Blog


This semester was overall a wreck for me. I struggled inside and outside of school and class. I made many mistakes but there was still happiness along the way. I was shot down a lot this semester but always got up and kept pushing. I struggled in the videos because I did not have much please to my voice as I was hoping. I had a lot of moments dreading to get work done but it pays off in the long run. I realized the more you do now the easier it is in life later.

The most formative experience for me was the napkin idea and the what’s next. The napkin helped us put all our ideas together and take out the thing that did not really matter. The napkin made an image for your mind to go off of. The what’s next assignment let me think of what I could do to give back.

I have seen myself as an entrepreneur since before this class. I think my entrepreneurship skills grew when I went to Ireland for my study abroad. I was all alone for 6 weeks and found things that I struggled with day to day. This class just reminded me of something that entrepreneurs do to expand on their companies. Like how I said I never gave up and I think that is a huge skill an entrepreneur needs because they will fail many times before becoming successful. 

What I would warn the people who are taking this class is seriously take the time to get ahead. These assignments are not awful and most can be done within an hour. If you do laundry on Sundays then you can bang out 3 to 4 assignments while you wait for all your clothes to be done. I would also suggest to turn in what you have if you start on an assignment. You can also make edits to your blog. If I would have done that I would not have lost 8 points one week.


Venture Concept Pt. 2


I feel the most important resource is safety. The car is safe enough to protect the people inside the vehicle. People can sit and relax as their car drives them across town. What makes it hard for my competitors is they do not have bed in their cars or cars with solar panels. Designated Design also has a futuristic look that only Tesla can compare to.

Opportunity
The need is more of a want. The good thing about Designated Driver being a want is that it is worth its price. Many thing are considered a must have want but do not live up to their expectations. Designated Driver is actually one of the best cars to drive when comparing what it does to the environment. Since Designated Driver is only battery and solar power it emits zero fuel emissions. Designated Driver is not meant for people who do not have money to spend. If you are someone who struggles to pay rent then you should not be buying one of these cars. People currently have lane assist or Tesla’s. Telsa is the only other company to run off of battery and not require someone to have their hands on the wheel. The do have to pay attention but not as much as a normal car would require. There is currently still a huge opportunity for a self-driving car that has reclining chairs. Until there are cars that can fly there will be a market for self-driving cars.


Innovation
Designated Driver is a set of cars that allow for people to sit in relaxation while their car takes them to work. The cupholders keep drinks warm or cold depending on what drink it is. Simply quick a button for your car to pick you up from your front steps of work as it drives you home. The hood and some roofs have solar panels so that the car can gain extra power throughout the day. The power can restored and planned on how it is used. With how much power is being provided the car almost is never capable of dying. The base model will be sold at $40,000. The highest models will be worth a nice house, all the way up to $250,000. The best models provide everything someone could ask for in a car. The car even comes with a fridge that can keep thing cool for up to 20 hours.

Venture Concept
Designated Driver will solve the issue with safety on the roads. Many people die due to bad driving on the roads. People also fall asleep driving and end up driving off the road into something. The reason people will by my product is it offers everything someone could need. The car drives for you, keeps you safe, and many more. For the people who like to help the environment Designated Driver is the best car they could drive since it produces zero fuel emissions.  People would switch to designated design because it is the future. Nobody could image a car that is any better. It may take time for people to switch but once they find out how they have an amazing car and are helping the environment they will never switch again. Designated Design biggest competitor is Tesla. Tesla’s biggest weakness is that they still have not made profit. Since opening they have only stayed opened to funding. Another reason they are vulnerable is because no other car company is like them. The best thing Designated Design has to offer as business is their customer service. Taking care of the customer is the most important thing. We would rather go bankrupt than hear that people felt they were treated poorly by Designated Driver. For my business I would need a lot of workers. I would need separate departments from service people to sales men to computer scientist. There are so many aspects but for the headquarters and sales lots there would need to be over 500 employee’s.

In five years I want to be the biggest selling car company. With a goal that there will be millions of people driving a Designated Driver in the next 3 years. I also want to become a inventor. I feel that I am good at being innovative and changing products little by little. But if a company does not continue to innovate it will go out of business in this day and time. Seeing this company take off would teach me that anything is possible.

Feedback

            Sadly I was not given any feedback on my post. It is kind of disappointing when not receiving feedback because it becomes hard to understand where you need to improve. When someone provides feedback they are more capable of seeing what’s holding the idea or product back. Luckily I did get some feedback on my “What’s Next” post. One of my comments I received was where I was getting the funding from. That is the plus of Designated Driver. I want everyone to have the amenities even if they cannot afford it so Designated Driver would keep my side business afloat. Another person loved my new idea and said they would love to see it in full action.

Changes
The changes I would make is to state where the funding is going to come from. I know that having a luxury bus would cost a lot but the luxury bus idea is not for profit. I feel that everyone should have the chance to feel luxurious whether they have the money or not. Some people are privileged to get all the things they have and others work hard. I want  to show those who work hard, can see the pay off. The bus would have equal or lesser cost of the other bus companies such as Lynx. I also got feedback that I would need multiple busses. I would have to start off small just because of the fact on how much I can be losing by adding the bus company to Designated Driver. I was also told to leave the highlight text out of my work. I guess it does that because I copy and paste my work from word. I never realized that it has done that before until someone pointed it out.

Wright Brothers Take Off


To begin with the fact the wright brothers invented something that can fly in the air is amazing. The fact they made the first airplane ever is even more amazing. Thing about the first car ever made. There was no working model to work off of. It is an amazing skill to be innovative but to be an inventor is something else. I admire people who can make something out of nothing. I admire that neither of them went to college and still did more with their life than some doctors will today. Many people think that college is what makes you successful but it is truly hard work and passion. If you have passion and hard work at the end of the day you will eventually get somewhere. What I admire least about the audience that they sometimes are not given credit for having the first flying plane. Do to a catapult sending them into the air some people argue that it does not count as flying. Some argue that a man in Brazil actually flew the first plane in 1906. The brothers on the other hand refused to give their plane to the Smithsonian for many years. These entrepreneurs started a whole way of life. Without planes people would take a lot longer to get anywhere. There would also be so many less jobs no flight attendants, plane directors, or even pilots. What confused me is how these brothers knew so much and never went to college. School and education has changed so much and when I graduated two springs ago I know I would not have been able to build my own plane that could fly. If I could ask the Wright brothers two questions one would be why did they not build a seat for the plane? Did it mess with flying in the air or did they not take the time to build one? Another question I would ask is how were they not scared to crash the first time. At the end of the day Orville’s life was on the line but he still took the risk. I feel the Wright brothers only know what hard work was. There was no going back in time for them, they wanted to make history. It shows you that hard work pays off. Since the brothers we know have fighting jets, Rocket ships, planes to carry passengers, ect. Overall the Wright brothers have convinced me yet again to get out there and invent something that could change the world forever.
