    Hi Eric, I really like that your articles have very simple messages. Like in your previous post, you are doing a good job at identifying simple problems. For the most part there is an overall theme in your post about healthy living. Healthy living has become a huge trend in the US, especially among young people. People are willing to spend money on products that ensure health, which makes this a great business sector to invest in.

    Hi Eric,
    I like how you chose articles that relate to people and their everyday lives. Especially the one about drinking water everyday. I have made it a habit to drink at least 2 glasses of water right when I wake up and right before I go to bed. As well as drink two full water bottles throughout the day. I have felt so great ever since I have started doing this and I recommend it to everyone.

    Dearest Eric,

    Here again I see your entrepreneurial avenues leading you down simpler routes, showing us that sometimes it is okay to slow down and look at the finer details of the world. Certainly appreciate your use of mediums that most of your audience will be familiar with and placing them into a concise format. Perhaps finding solutions to problems starts at home.

    Hey Eric! I love how you really specified the actual opportunities that can be taken away from each article. You made the articles relevant and easier for a reader to catch their attention, which I believe is a key factor in becoming an entrepreneur. The proper use of title structure and highlighting information, much like theses articles did for you, is a great thing to recognize and take advantage of. I really do enjoy the simplicity that was provided and the clear understanding!! Great Job!

21A – Reading Reflection No. 2

I read the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck 1) What was the general theme or argument of the book? The general theme of the book is about success is all portions of life. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? The book in my opinion definitely connects with what we are learning in this class. It talks a lot about what it takes to be successful and what successful people do. 3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve? That exercise would involve just spending time alone in your room with no social media around and just thinking about yourself and who you are. 4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations? I personally have read other self improvement books before and I really enjoy them as I find them real...

29A Venture Concept No.2

  Venture Concept My opportunity belief for this class involves an application that helps the costumer with the parking on UF campus.    The opportunity such as the group of concepts I will be mainly targeting students at the University of Florida. Other groups to target would be people who park on campus who aren't students, like teachers or workers. Typically students have the need of not finding parking spots or don’t know where to park with their decal of their car or scooter. A lot of TAs are on campus and give out tickets. Nobody wants a ticket. These people that need my opportunity idea are the ones who: Want to park their vehicles on the UF campus  Can't find the right parking lot on campus   Don't know in which parking lots how many spots are available  Don't want to get tickets because of wrong parking   Don't want to walk because they parked too far from class The nature of this need is not too high but it has ...

6A – Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

1   An Algorithm That Grants Freedom, or Takes It Away A) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/technology/predictive-algorithms-crime.html B) The article explains the case of a 30 year old man who had deemed as a “high risk” after he got released from jail in 2018. The reason he is a high risk is because a computer algorithm gave him that status   C) The costumers are the people that get classified by that algorithms, wether it’s fair or not D) This is very difficult because the decisions are made by a computer, not a psychologist who sees them in person. I think a computer can’t decide who is a high risk or low risk for the society, based on the system predicted.   2 Uber Posts Faster Growth, but Loses $1.1 Billion https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/technology/uber-growth-losses.html The article reveals some of the numbers Uber made this year compared to last year.
