14A - Halfway Reflection

Over the past couple of months, what has really kept me focused on finishing the work was dedication. It ultimately rested on the fact that I knew I had assignments due on Friday's and Tuesday's and to cut out a sliver of my week, maybe one to two hours, and try to finish the assignments. There were a couple of times where I had maybe forgotten or was not motivated to finish some assignments. This isn't such a bad thing, considering we're all human beings and have other things on our plate to worry about and take care of. However, what really pulled me through was the motivation to do better on completing these assignments and simply keep up with the work at hand. I feel like in this way I am really developing a tenacious attitude. Some tips I have for this class would be 1) find out when work is due ahead of time, maybe write it down in a planner 2) cut out an hour or two of your week to get the work done and 3) watch the lectures because they're important for the cupcakes. This may seem like really simple advice, but doing these things can go a long way for the class itself and even your life as an entrepreneur. 

Just remember, you got this.

For instance, I vividly remember her sitting at the desktop computer in our home office creating the logo for her company. She explained to me that having a logo that was able to grab people's attention is an important factor in brand recognition and drawing in costumers. Throughout the next 11 years, my mother had expanded her business and flourished in the world of entrepreneurship.  In a similar situation, my father had left his utility invoice audit company with a goal to be th...

6A Identifying Opportunities in Economic and Regulatory Trends

Opportunity #1 (Economic): a) The first economic opportunity I encountered was the the increase of 291,000 jobs in the private sector this past month. I found this article on the Wall Street Journal website:  https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-private-sector-added-291-000-jobs-in-january-11580911234 b) I believe this provides an opportunity to those in search of a job. More people in the workforce creates more wealth in the economy and more consumer purchasing power. c) The prototypical customer in this case would be anyone searching for a job. d) Depending on the level of requirements a certain job has, the difficulty of exploiting these opportunities can vary. Opportunity #2 (Economic): a) The second economic opportunity I encountered was the worker shortage occurring in Denver's public transit system. I found this article on the Wall Street Journal website:  https://www.wsj.com/articles/public-transit-hits-a-speed-bump-not-enough-drivers-11580994000 b) For the p...
