Reading Reflection N 2

The book that I chose for this assignment was "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win" by Scott Adams. The book itself is autobiography that tells us about Adams experience of his failures, decision process ,  driven factors, and his endless motivation. It expands understanding and broad the vision, giving better understanding how different entrepreneur think ( in this case Scott Adams)  It was interesting  to find out how some people convert their errors and failures into useful experience. It shows that entrepreneurship is not just straight up process, but it has a lot of ups and downs, and there is no need to give up if you are currently down, it is temporarily. Therefore, with this all being said, this book is very connected to this course. An exercise that I'm thinking I would create off this book is to create a total failure or 3 problems to the business that you are working on creating and try to think of what would be the solutions and how would you react and solve these challenges? What would you do if you face a total fail. This should help to generate an improvement to the business. Everyone is thinking of the the best scenario, but think of the best, be prepared to the worst. The idea that knowing the system and having the strategies  is the path to success is really what I learned and what differed most from my expectations.

    Hi Williamol,
    I also read How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big! I loved this book and the concept of inviting your failures, learning to embrace them, and then using them to your advantage. The thing that stood out to me the most was that I don't have to have it all figured out yet. So many of the successful people we look up to didn't make it at our age. It takes time and a lot of learning about yourself to learn how to handle the challenges that will arise. This book is such a good reminder that there is value in every failure.

Venture Concept

Opportunity Many people are unaware that there are funds  available  for them to claim waiting until they start a claim and get this money after foreclosure. For example, in one Sarasota county alone there is more than $2 million of dollars available to claim but for a limited time. After due date has passed, this money goes to the state and no one can claim them. The advantage in that business that municipality poorly inform people who are edible to get this money because for example they have moved to a different state or deceased and for the municipality it is hard to locate them or their heirs.  This is a unique opportunity that requires a lot of research and digging or resource to pay for the search services. Another huge opportunity is that I can work remotely with multiple different counties at one time and even different states.  Innovation This whole ...

Figuring out Buyer Behavior No 2

Figuring out Buyer Behavior No.2 Report findings and Draw Conclusions:  Similar to the first buyer behavior assignment, I found 3 people and presented my idea, so I was able to get different opinions on how people viewed my idea. Although the concept I presented (Surplus funds recovery) is more service based. I asked them to suppose one of their property, or their close relative property, went through foreclosure sale and was sold to a third party. Imagining they moved forward with their lives and someone with my company reached out to them mentioning there are funds available to recover.  All 3 responders very sympathized the idea that someone can deal with claim process and professionally recover as much funds possible. However, when presenting the cost of service - 30% of funds recovered hold by my company, one respondent, Alex, started challenging me by asking why it was essential for him to cooperate with me in such deal. Ilona also asked why she should pick my pa...

IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES IN ECONOMIC AND REGULATORY TRENDS

Economic Trend:  Mortgage rates sink to lowest level in three months  Source:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/01/23/mortgage-rates-sink-lowest-level-three-months/ I believe that this means that an opportunity exists because the 30-year fixed-rate average fell  significantly - to 3.6 percent with an average 0.8 points. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1 percent of the loan amount and are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 3.65 percent a week ago and 4.45 percent a year ago. The 30-year fixed rate hasn’t been this low since October .  Low mortgage rates are tempting home buyers off the sidelines and into the market. New data shows that buyers didn’t wait until the new year to find their new home and instead were out in unexpected force last month. Existing-home sales grew 3.6 percent in December, its best pace in nearly two.  The prototypical customers would be mortgage homebuyers and homeowners, lenders?, investors who b...
