Halfway Reflection





1.    Behaviors that I have used to keep up with the work in this course is being organized and making sure I get all of my assignments done on time whether I want to or not. Life gets busy but when you prioritize your commitments it makes it easier to complete the work.
2.    I am taking 3 courses online, working an internship, I song write, perform and am working on building a brand and business out of my music career. I am busy every single day and sometimes it is hard to focus on getting school work done when there are so many other things to do. I have to remember why I am getting a degree and how it will be able to help me in the future.
3.    I think the biggest tips to developing a tenacious mindset is
1.    Write down why you are doing what you are doing - this will help to remind you to stay positive and achieve your goals.
2.    Stay organized - a cluttered mind will not help you move forward. If you stay organized you can clearly see what you need to accomplish on what days. 
3.    Keep going even on the days when you want to quit - Some days will be amazing and make you want to keep going. Some days you will want to quit. Keep going regardless of how you're feeling because you will be so happy by the end of your journey. 
Developing a tenacious mindset is not easy and it can take some time and failures to develop. But when you realize what you want out of school, work, etc., then it will help you push through on the days that you don’t want to.

    Hi Brooke, Good job keeping up with everything you have going on currently and still staying on track with the amount of school work from 3 classes and the internship. I can relate that sometimes I don’t want to do any school work but knowing that all this work is for the degree and the opportunities it will open later on will pay off.

    Brooke,
    Since this class has so many requirements and assignments it is easy to fall behind whether on the lectures or the peer reviews, so I understand the struggle of trying to stay organized and developing set times to work on homework when we all live such busy lives. I completely agree that persistence is key. I tend to take things day by day when I get overwhelmed. It makes things seem easier when you separate your tasks.

    Hi Brooke! Before reading your post I want to say I love the picture you chose, my mom always says to never say you cant and I agree with that mindset. It's crazy hearing you have so many responsibilities this semester, it's definitely important to stay on task and time manage really well. I also really agree with the three tips you gave for future success in this class.

    Brooke,
    This is a great post and I agree with what you said at the end about developing a tenacious mindset not being easy and taking some time. My biggest thing about being successful is writing down my schedule and making time to complete my assignments. I think staying on top of a schedule is very important when someone is busy and really helps a person manage their life better.

Exit Strategy

1) Identify the exit strategy you plan to make. Do you intend to sell your business in the next 5 years for a large return? Do you intend to stay with the business for several decades and retire? Do you intend to protect the venture as a family business, and pass it down to your children? The exit strategy that I plan to make for this particular product I have created would be to sell it and use that profit to start another business. I love that the options of creating and helping people is never ending. I would love to use my profit, experience and new knowledge to help me start another entrepreneurship endeavor.   2) Why have you selected this particular exit strategy? I selected this exit strategy because I believe that I would feel fulfilled with the business knowing that I got it to the level that it did and now I can use my profit to start another business that I am even more passionate about.  3) How do you think your exit strategy has influenced the oth...

What's Next

Existing Market.  I think that as the brand launches and we begin to evaluate the progress of the product, then changes will be made accordingly. If we want to create new features then that will be able to be added to the app for an easy solution. I talked to Matt who said he loves the idea because he already has a smart watch so it would be easy to use once the thermostat is installed. He thinks it is a unique idea and said that in the future we could consider adding features such as a speaking aspect like how people can ask Alexa to do things through a speaker. So a possibility could be adding a voice feature for people to tell the Arm Stat what to change the temperature to. I interviewed a girl named Kaitlyn and I told her about how I would love to get on Shark tank and she thought this would be a great way to gain exposure if I was accepted on the show. She didn’t have other ideas on how to expand the product. And my third interviewee, Sam, said he wo...

Buyer Behavior Pt. 2

I have focused my interviews on people who like to have the newest and most innovative technology. My first interviewee, Tim, told me when he is picking a product he does look at the quality and price. Since he is an engineer he likes to know he is buying a high quality product that is worth the price he is paying. My second interviewee, Carlie, said she cares a lot about the style of the product and the price. If she is going to be spending a higher amount of money on the product she wants to make sure it looks good and will catch attention. My third interviewee, Dominick, cares most about the quality and the price of the product. He does not want to finance a product but does like having new technology. The common alternative from all of my interviewees was price. They all would be willing to pay whatever price as long as it looked good or was good quality. Tim and Dominick were most likely going to purchase a product if they could pay for the whole thing righ...
