Reading Reflection 2

I choose the book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big" by Scoot Adams. The general theme of the book was to try and always be proactive with your day everyday. If you can set systems for everyday then they will have a drive to get up and go onto accomplish these on a daily basis, Also you need to learn how to be able to accept failure and turn it into positive energy.

This book made me realize that i am in control of how i adapt to things good or bad and that if i put my entire self into something i can get it done. The book was helpful for this class because it taught me to believe in myself and what i put my mind to to be successful at whatever it is im doing.

An exercise i would design for the class based on the book was something that at first the class really struggled on but if they persevered through it, they would be reward at the end of it all.

While reading this book one of the biggest surprises to me  was when Adams discussed for getting goals and goals settings but set out a daily plan. With a daily plan or system its a procedure someone can get done everyday. This helped Adams stay positive and lead him down the slope to where he wanted to go.

Elevator Pitch 3

I have been sick for the past week and a half so i was not able to make any changes to my elevator pitch but if  i was able, i would have went more in depth on how the process of my app works and how to monetize the app to make it profitable.

Elevator Pitch #2

Create a Customer Avatar

I feel like my prototypical consumer of my product is any person age 18-65 who is serious about becoming a better golfer. I think hobbies would include golfing for business and/or pleasure as well as enjoying a variety of other activities. I think my company would be associated with lower and middle class people who don't or can't pay for lessons but still want to increase green reading skills.


The people using the app on the course probably have kids and they use golf to get away from home every so often and to keep enjoyment of the game up and to still improve while playing use the app.

I feel like i connect to my prototypical customer in a variety of ways. Using Golf as a way to get away from home, connecting with others, and to improve my game while on the course while not taking lessons off of it.

What's Your Secret Sauce

5 Things I Believe That Make Me Different

1. If I start something I feel inclined to get it done

2. Usually put all my effort into one thing at a time has it's pros and cons

3. Can work well in groups as well as alone

4. Ability to meet deadlines

5. If I enjoy what I'm doing I feel like the end product is way better than if i wasn't interested in doing it

Figuring Out Buyers Behavior 2

For the interviews i conducted I focused on interviewing people who have previously taken lessons on putting. I have concluded from these select interviews that the people who had taken putting lessons a very select few had received tips and tricks to actually reading the greens which is an important part of the putting process. Price for these lessons were very high and focus on how to actually putt than the entire process which is only half and reading the green knowing where to hit the ball and how hard is the other half. These customers were disappointed with how high the price was to receive only about half of what they needed to do and learn. In every interview the process to purchase the lesson they took was a one time fee with the person gibing them the lesson with cash proffered. They would purchase the lesson in person at whatever golf course they chose with a PGA golf instructor. All but one of the interviewees regretted paying such a high price to only learn half the putting process.

Halfway Reflection

1. I feel like with this course my time management skills have improved and the due dates of Friday's and Monday's have let me get into a rhythm of when i have to sit down and do the assignments.

2. Not sure if the "giving up" is talking about just this specific course or in any aspect of life in the past two months but a few weeks ago i was bogged down with exams and my job and almost quit my job but i used that attitude to push through. Having worked while going to school for the past 6 years and know what i had to do pushed me through it.



3. 3 tips i'd give someone about the last two months in this course are
1. Be flexible with this course if you can't think of an idea to blog just come back the next day and something will surely cross your mind.
2. When picking an opportunity to do a business venture on it pick something you are passionate about.
3. Enjoy yourself and learn from others.
