30A. Final Reflection

This class has become kind of like a part of me over the course of this semester. I would not have thought that I would become so enveloped by it, but it has almost been like an ongoing journal. One of the things that stick out to me remarkably is how much self reflection I've done throughout the class. I have furthered the development of my idea, but above all else, I learned a lot about myself. I firmly enjoyed the Secret Sauce assignment, where I had those close to me tell me why I am unique. It was touching to be honest. I never figured out how to submit that assignment, but I enjoyed doing it nonetheless.

I most definitely see myself as more entrepreneurial today. I have always been entrepreneurial, and that's a fact, but now I can see myself actually making bigger ideas come to fruition. Not just selling shoes and whatnot.

I would give two pieces of advice: Stay organized and manage your days correctly, and don't treat this as a joke. Actually try building out your idea. Maybe it'll pay off!

29A. Venture Concept #2

Opportunity: No apps are around like this app. Trivago for medical necessities and saving money and Insurance. New platform for advertisements and sales.

Innovation: Building this would require innovation. We would need a skilled team of developers, however, selling will also have to be ultra innovative. We aren't charging everyday users, but instead business to business, so how will we get them to pay? I think I can sell it, but the approach would have to be unique.

Get working on really building one of a kind software for this. That's the key for me. 
Venture Concept: Nothing else exist like this, and people don't use anything like this. To find out if your insurance is accepted at a place, you have to find out from your insurance agency or the office. It could be multiple calls leading to inefficient waste of time. This app would save time AND money for people so getting them to use it would happen quickly and naturally.

The most important concept for this idea is that I can sell it. A great product will never make money if the right people aren't selling it. I got this, and I know a lot lays on my shoulders.

Next step for the app is getting a team of developers working.

Next step for me is to graduate from UF and do my internship.


I didn't receive much feedback, but of the feedback I did get, I'm taking very seriously. That is why I added the lines, "Get working on really building one of a kind software for this. That's the key for me."

Picture of a software developer developing the software.

28A. Exit Strategy

I plan on selling the company within 5 years most definitely. I hope to make as much money as fast as I can so I can retire for the longest amount of time. If you know me, you know I'm just tryna chill and kick it with the homies.

It has increased the rate at which I want to get this software developed, and sold.

27A. Reading Reflection #3

The Art of Social Media taught me a lot. It was a lot about using it to your advantage, instead of reflecting negatively upon it as it often is looked upon as.

It furthered my skills in marketing myself and selling myself. Social media outlets are the first place many people will see you nowadays, and if you want to win them over, it starts there.

My exercise would be to make everyone create a LinkedIn profile or have everyone clean up their Facebook pages, Instagram's, and Twitter's.

I loved looking upon social media as positive instead of negative.

26A. Celebrating Failure

This semester I failed at uploading my interviews to this class. I got very frustrated and quite trying to make it work in frustration. The next day, my buddy in the class taught me how to do it. Failure opens the door for learning. 

I used to think failure was for the weak. Now I realize everyone fails, it just matters how you react to it.

25A. What's Next?

Next for the app and company is to actually build it. We need software developers to come in and make it happen.

Interview 1: Next is to gauge interest in the field by seeing if it could be sold.

Interview 2: Build a beta of of the app so people can see it and steps can be. made towards turning a profit.

Interview 3: Build the software available not only as an app, but also as a website and build it first as a website as they are easier to build.

The path begins now in terms of building a product. I plan on building the website which will work and is easier to build.
