19A – Idea Napkin No. 2


1) My name is Eric Friese, I am a swimmer, I can do a few pencil tricks, and I am really interested in fashion and sneakers. I personally dislike the word talent simply because it allows for the excuse "Oh I'll Never be better than them they have talent" when in reality, they worked hard. I want this to help people with the parking on campus with my app. It is not necessarily a business but just a set of solutions available to help to avoid and solve the parking problems around campus.

2) I am offering an app that helps people to find parking spots and decal informations for the different parking lots. 

3) All of my customers are college students at the University of Florida any college if I can expand the app one day. They want to park their car or their scooter on campus without getting a ticket for wrong parking or without spending a lot of time on searching a spot. 

4) I would not receive any money from this, but I would receive the benefit of finding parking spots on campus.

5) What sets me apart from everyone is the fact that I believe no one has brought this idea up on campus so far. 

I believe all of these fit together as again, it is not a business, but a set of solutions for parking. I believe since almost every student has a vehicle, my idea is something for everyone. 

From the feedback I mainly saw that people liked my idea what gave me a lot of confidence. I will definitely hold on to my idea.

    Hey Eric, once again great post. I love what you said about talent. One of my favorite basketball players, Ray Allen, always preached that he does not believe in talent, only hard work. If you can be smart and outwork your competition, you will likely overachieve compared to that competition. Also, I really like your idea. I can see that you have a close personal connection to this as you experience a problem in your life and realize others may experience it as well.

    Powerful. That is the word to describe the level of commitment and growth I have seen since your last post. I especially took great heed to the pencil tricks. That is a talent that very few will get to see in this life. And excuse me for saying talent for what you have is a gift. You are a star Eric.

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.
