3A - My Entrepreneurship Story

When I was in elementary school I would sell handmade bookmarks to my classmates. I would color the cylinder part of square pencil boxes with markers and then I would cover it with liquid glue. I would wait overnight for it to dry and rake them to school the next day. I had a small, medium and large option and my classmates honestly loved buying them. This is where my interest of entrepreneurship started from and my appreciation for those who start their own businesses. 

I am taking this course because the topic of entrepreneurship has always been of interest to me. I have thought about opening my own beach side bar in the future, but i never really understood where people start from. I hope that this course is able to give me more of an insight of this and allows me to start thinking in a entrepreneur mindset.

    Hi Natasha,

    It seems that even as a child you had a mind for entrepreneurship. Your idea to make bookmarks and sell them at school remind of a host of other businesses kids had at my elementary school such as selling candy. Opening up a beach side bar sounds like a great idea. The service industry can be tough but if you plan the right way I'm sure you can be successful.

11A – Idea Napkin No. 1

1) I am a strong believer that one should always give back to our community any way possible. Growing up volunteering was something I prioritized in my life, and to this day I make sure to volunteer whenever I get the opportunity to. I was born in Puerto Rico, so my entire family still lives on the island, so I visit often. This organization will play a huge part in my life because it combines two things I love giving back and helping out my people. I feel that this organization will be one that I will never lose passion for because with how unpredictable natural disasters are we will always have something to do. 2) I am offering the opportunity for students to become involved in this organization to help raise money and gather donations. For donors, we will provide monthly emails informing them where donations are being sent based on recent events. This keeps them informed and allows them to feel like they are making a difference, which potentially will lead them to donate more. ...

30A – Final Reflection

1) Looking through all the assignments this semester I am proud to see that I was able to complete all of the assignments. I did struggle with time management with this class, but as the semester progressed I saw improvement. I am also happy with how my business mindset has changed throughout the semester. The assignments made me expand the way I throughout of things and reading my classmates' posts made me see these assignments from a new perspective. 2) The most formative thing that stands out to me about this experience is the fact that I was able to conduct a lot of interviews throughout the semester. It taught me about the importance of seeking opinions about ideas that I have because the outside perspective can be crucial when it comes to product success. The experience that I will remember the most is the amount of work that this class was. It was a lot of weekly assignments that became overwhelming, but I am happy to say that I was able to survive the semester. I am proud...

25A – What’s Next?

Existing Market:  1) I think that the future for my organization would be the continuous expansion of chapters on different college campuses. This will help to continue the expansion of aid that USA Relief will have on the United States. This will also expand the number of sponsors that will be willing to give free products to affected areas. 2) Since we did not have to interview people because of the current state of the world I decided to talk to my friends for their opinions on what I have planned next. They stated that my idea of wanting to start chapters on other college campuses is a great idea to spread my organization because there will be students who will want to see the organization succeed and decide to run for exec. They suggested that I need to establish more firm reasoning for more organization so it can stand out from other college organizations. This way more students and sponsors will want to support the organization. 3) I think the best thing for me to do n...
