Final Reflection

This class has definitely provided some interesting experiences. Coming in, I thought this would be an informative and valuable class for me. I was excited about what it had in store. However, it started off with a low. I didn't realize the assignments were due at noon, so I went to submit assignment 2A at 3:00 pm only to realize I had missed it. This was really frustrating and set a bad tone for the class for me; however, I was able to bounce back. I put a little more focus on it, and I ended up enjoying the rest of the proceeding assignments. I think the best and most formative experience was finally coming up with a business idea. I had struggled with that for a while, and the ideas I had come up with were mediocre at best. But, eventually, my idea to help school lunches came to me, and it felt like the light bulb turned on over my head. That was extremely satisfying and I'm proud of the work I have done using that idea. While I think I have moved closer to an entrepreneurial mindset, I wouldn't call myself a full-blown entrepreneur yet. Although, I will absolutely take more of an entrepreneurial approach to what I do in the future, My one recommendation would be to give this class your all. Don't put in a limited effort; actually try to use this class to your advantage and develop life skills that are becoming increasingly important in today's business world.

    Hey Grant!
    I feel like we have many similarities in what we feel the class did for us. I too feel like this class has left a lasting impact on me to the point where I look at everything from the view point of an entrepreneur. Also, I too in the begging of the year forgot about the 12pm deadline and missed crucial points. This was frustrating, but was a learning experience. I love the picture you included, it speaks a lot about an entrepreneur.

    Hey Grant,

    I agree that my most formative experience was coming up with my own business idea. I think it's awesome that you were able to come up with a business idea that you really care about. This class has also moved me closer to an entrepreneurial mindset, however I'm not entirely there yet: I just now think about things that I wouldn't have before taking this class. Great post!

Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1

Healthier School Lunches Kids today aren't being served healthy enough meals from schools for lunch Who: Elementary School Kids What: Are not being served healthy meals by their schools Why: School's neglect the importance of healthy foods and resort to cheaper/easier options Hypothesis Testing the who: This problem can expand beyond just elementary school kids. Middle schools, high schools, and even college dining halls can have this issue, as well. It impacts younger students the most, however, because they are the ones who most need the nutritious value, and they are in less control of what foods they eat. Testing the what: There is an argument to be made that this country has issues with unhealthy food. My counter to that is that schools absolutely have the ability to serve healthier options, but they openly choose not to for financial or convenience reasons. Also, again, other people have options in terms of what they eat; kids stuck at school do not have a c

Venture Concept No. 2

My business involves providing better school lunch services to schools around the country. The people who have this need the most are elementary school students. A majority of kids rely on school lunch food for their meals. Teachers also have this need, as a good amount of them also rely on school lunch. They are all at school for a long period of time, and they are unable to go out and get outside food. There are no changes to the environment that are causing this need. It is a need that has always existed without a real solution existing. The geographic area I am covering will be to start in Florida and later expand to around the United States. Demographically, I am focusing on 4-10-year-old elementary school kids. Customers are currently satisfying this need through the basic food provided by their local school district. Most would be more than willing to switch over to my company given the opportunity. I think this is a huge opportunity since there is such a huge market and so few
