30A – Final Reflection




(this picture is important for me, take at SMC, where I got my General Science Degree. It represents where I come from and how far I have gotten. I was just another athlete with an injury that resulted on my scholarship taken away, I slept two years on the floor during my high school years in LA because I couldn’t afford rent, I have been homeless before, dealt with a facial paralysis and struggling to keep up with school under the strong medication. Now here I am, at my dream university, studying what I dreamt for years, trying to become someone that can do good for my people and everybody else, to set up an example on how not everything is lost and to know how to deal with any kind of adversity. I’ve got a lot to learn  and learned a lot from the guys from my group, and I am glad I can share these moments with you all)

1)    I have loved this class from beginning to end and it has helped me in various ways, beginning with personal achievements. I was really nervous when doing the assignment “ 4A – Forming An Opportunity Belief” because I had to interview people and felt like the interviews didn’t go as well as I thought, but I was really happy after I read the comments on my post and checking that around 14 people checked out my post.

2)    The most formative experience was collecting information from those who are already in the industry and setting up appointments to talk to them about my company’s idea and model. Also when writing my Venture concept it helped me to realize that I am capable of achieving the things I wanted to achieve as just a dream of owning a solar panel company.

3)    I do see myself as an entrepreneur now, I would like to make this concept something that can actually become real, I want my solar company to succeed and a bunch of people benefit from the idea, from employees to customers.

4)    Try having only one business idea that you would like to work on and develop from the beginning of the class. If you have a bunch of them, then select your favorite one and the one that you think can have room for improvement. Try connecting lectures with your blog’s posts and answers in order to develop a higher self confidence in the area.

    Roy,

    I selected to keep up with your ideas and posts this entire semester due to the passion and integrity you demonstrated throughout this time. Owning a solar panel company could be one of the few ideas that are both extremely profitable, and environmentally sustainable at the same time. I wish you the best of luck from here on out and I hope to one day be a customer of yours!

Opportunity ·      Who has the need? Anyone that would like to save on electricity bills or that would like to look for a more eco-friendly alternative for electricity consumption. ·      Nature of the need? The nature of the need can be found anywhere ·      What are the forces or changes in the environment creating this opportunity?  Our planet needs us to opt for alternatives that can benefit our environment and our ourselves, sadly Carbon particles hurt the atmosphere, a product that runs on solar energy can be sustainable ·      How is this market defined geographically and demographically? This can start locally and become national, demographically it targets mainly those who can afford an investment to save up money for the long run ·      How are customers currently satisfying this need?

17A – Elevator Pitch No. 2

In this exercise, you'll record your elevator pitch and publish it in your post. Here's what you should include in the post: https://youtu.be/YuRir474tZU 2)  A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch. Yehudy was the only person to leave a comment, he mentioned how he loved my idea and product and he was much interested. He loved how I explained the scientific side of the product. 3)  What did you change, based on the feedback? I tried targeting a different audience, showing anyone can see this as   a good alternative no matter how much electricity they use each month.

Morty (here is a picture when Morty and Jessica first fell in love back in high school) I would describe Morty as the typical father of two and married whose favorite hobby is to walk around the beaches of the city of LA on a beautiful Sunday morning. Him and his family after the beach, they drive back home to Westwood. Their house has the typical common areas: dining room, kitchen, living room and a studio room (where Morty and Jessica tend to do some of their work). On the second floor of the house there are two bedrooms, one for each kid and a bathroom they both share, there is also the master bedroom for Morty and Jessica. Morty is a really well organized person, during the weekdays he leaves to work on his electric car, he designs houses and cares much about small details. Jessica also works and sometimes she stays at home because she sells insurance. Their kids attend high school, his son likes playing video games and his daughter loves watching movies. Wh...

For this exercise, I'd like you reflect on the past two months. In your post for this exercise, pretend that you're talking to a student from next semester's course. What would you tell them? I would let them know that this class challenges yourself, entrepreneurship targets the brain to get the best ideas out of each person, but not only that, this ideas will become projects and one day can become something real and that can benefit as a experience and a life teaching opportunity, 1)     Tenaciousness is a competency .  What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?  I have learned that I am capable to make my concepts into something tactical that can be developed in the future, I have had the idea of my solar panel project and this class has helped me with the feeling of hope that this one day will become a personal achievement. 2)     Tenaciousness is a...
