26A – Celebrating Failure


  1. This semester I failed at trying to keep a fitness routine. I would start for a day or two and then I would have something come up that I would stop going. I kept on attempting to start again in hopes to get a routine going, but sadly I wasn’t able to stick with one. When I saw that I couldn’t stick with going to the gym I decided to attempt doing at home workouts, but that stopped also after one or two days of starting. This is something I have attempted to do for longer then just this semester because I want to get a routine going, but I always seem to find an excuse to break the gym streak I start to do. 
  2. I learned that I need to properly ease myself into going into the gym. If I go all in quickly I will lose the motivation to keep going. On day one I should do the minimum and slowly progress as I go. This will allow me to mentally prepare myself to start working out and also ease my body into working out. Sometimes when I go all in too quickly I become sore and lose the motivation/ energy to keep working out and ultimately leads me to stop going to the gym. 
  3. I personally am still trying to figure out how to deal with failure. Recently when I have failed I have noticed myself shut down and become insecure about the area I have failed in. I feel like this might be normal to do, but I also need to learn that failure isn’t an end of the world feeling. I want to be able to learn from my failures without feeling so much defeat that I close myself out. This class has taught me that not every idea I have is a good one and that’s okay. That sometimes if I think something is a good idea others might not think the same way. This has allowed me to not become to attached with my ideas because often times the first draft is not the final. I personally don’t know if I would necessarily say I would more likely take a risk then before, but I can say I feel more confident in the way I evaluate my ideas to see the reality of it.

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

Image
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...
