30A - Final Reflection

While taking this course I learned many valuable lessons, but the main lesson that I learned was to trust my instincts. I learned that often times my first intuition is usually right. While I may not see myself as an entrepreneur, I do know that I've picked up some entrepreneurial strategies. 

Overall, I think that I've learned a lot from this course that I will take with me well into the future. One experience that sticks out is brainstorming for a business idea. I think that I learned a lot about creativity and following my gut.

    Hi Riley,
    I too have learned to trust my instructs and have found that going with your gut right from the beginning is usually the way to go. I also relate to you in the aspect as I do not really see myself as an entrepreneur, but have also picked up strategies where I believe I would be able to succeed if that is truly something, I was interested in. Brainstorms for a business idea and figuring out all the aspects of it was very interesting for me as well. I wish you well in your future endeavors.

26A - Celebrating Failure

Earlier this semester I was taking a paleontology course to meet a science credit. I started the course while I was at home with my parents and brought my textbook with me. When I came back up to Gainesville I realized that I had forgotten my book at home with my parents. I needed it for the open-note exam later that week and I didn't know what I was going to do. Fortunately, my dad drove two and a half hours to come to bring it to me, but I still felt awful about having left it in the first place. What I learned was to be more mindful and make sure that I am doing everything to the best of my abilities, especially packing. Failure is definitely a hard thing to deal with. We feel ashamed and sad when we fail because we feel like we let others down. But failure is also an opportunity to grow and learn from our mistakes. Without failing every now and then, we would never learn. This class has taught me that failure is an opportunity, not an obstacle.

18A - Create a Customer Avatar

My prototypical customer is a hippie in my mind. While being sustainable and ethical is easy for anyone to do, I see hippies being our main customers. This is because they're more likely to be the type to adopt a zero-waste lifestyle. Because of this lifestyle change, I see them as people that would use the app often. In my mind, they drive an electric car or an old used one. All of their clothes are thrifted and they shop for groceries at stores like Whole Foods.

9A - Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

Who  Businesses that produce locally are mostly exempt as the consumer would already know where the product was made. Other businesses that are exempt would be local, sustainable businesses. What  This need differs because it meets a couple different needs. It meets both the need to know if the production was ethical and if the production was sustainable. Why
