Half-Way Reflection

1) I really need to work on, and have been working on the constant need to be doing something assignment related. Most days require something be turned in. 

2) Well for the most part I have not felt like "giving up" per say but, there were a couple assignments I just did not want to do... I know that's bad but sometimes the just not wanting too would win and I would not do the assignments. But if think this is also contributed to the fact I have to do interviews in other classes and sometimes I just don't want to talk to people any more. 

3) Do all of your work. Tell yourself it is fun and just go out and do it, they aren't that bad. Love your ideas, it'll make you want to talk about it more. 

The Twenty Percent

1) The company I chose was Classic Design. People come to this company in order to get granite or marble put anywhere in their house. Apparently they also put in sinks and stuff in the kitchen an bathrooms. The customers are higher class people who seek out this type of thing. 

2) The people I talked to were all Navarre residents in the holly by the sea area which is a higher class area and all wanted granite in their houses. 

3) The company had this pretty on point. This is pretty on spot with what the customers said.  

Week 8 Reading Reflection

1) I was very surprised by the amount of myths confronted in this. There are so many myths and venture capitalists are not appreciated it seems. 

2) I'm still a bit confused on loans and stuff. 

3) Is there a certain bank that one should use or do they all offer different things for different kinds of companies? Are their huge differences with loans for different kinds of companies? 

4) I did not see anything here I would disagree with here. 

Week 7 Reading Reflection

1) I was fairly surprised to find out how much time and effort was spent in the market segmentation, yet it is not being used to determine purchases, but it is being used solely for advertisement.

2) I'm still pinch confused on the errors marketers make, because the article just kind of mentioned it and didn't go too much in depth.

3) How effective are these advertisement segments, do the numbers show the effectiveness or could the selling of the product be just because it is a good product?
Also what companies seem to be using this market segmentation to the best of their advantage?

4) I didn't really find anything to disagree with in this article, everyone seemed to know what they were talking about, and well I am not too knowledgeable in this topic..

Elevator Pitch No. 2

So i got some fairly positive feedback in my last pitch, but I did change it up a bit because of some helpful suggestions from my peers. I do have a difficult time looking directly at the camera so I changed that, I also added a bit more information to the pitch to try to make it a bit more realistic.

Customer Interviews No. 3

1) I feel like because I have such a basic idea, it's pretty easy to ask really anyone who is in the state... no matter where you are from the weather changes are irritating. I tend to ask similar questions such as is this a problem for you, most people say yes, then I further ask them about appearances and stuff.

2) I feel like most everyone seems to agree this would be something that would be good to have.

Week 6 Reading Reflection

1) I am ridiculously amazed and surprised that soft drink companies make more money that airlines... I did not even slightly think that...

2) I do not understand how companies loose money by merging..

3) I would ask the author if he thinks things have changed dramatically since then or if it is about the same?
Also i would ask him which of these forces he considers to be the most important?

4) I honestly didn't find anything in this article I disagreed with, it was a fairly enjoyable article.

Idea Napkin No. 1

1) About me: My name is Katelyn Seavey and I have lived in Florida my entire life and have yet to find the proper clothing that will keep my body temperature regulated throughout the day.. I have created this business so that myself and other people who live in moody climates will have the ability stay cool and warm all day long!

2) I plan to create a better Thermal that will actually look cute and nice for both males and females so they can stay comfortable all day long.

3) I am mainly focused towards Floridians right now but I have also experienced similar weather patterns throughout California, New Mexico, And Nevada.

4) All of the people I have talked to, including people living in these other states, all have the same issue of dressing for a 24 hour and staying comfortable all day in the same outfit they started with.

5) There are thermals out there but they are all just kind of thin and don't work out very well keeping you warm. They are bland and do not work well and I plan to fix that.


I think that all of these factors put together will make a great business, but i think I may have one weakness in my plan. I do not have the technology to do this.. I think though if given the technology and science to figure this out and then make fashionable clothing this will be a successful business.

Week 5 Reading Reflection

1) I am amazed as to how long it takes to get a patent.

2) I find it confusing about the difference between a patent and copy write.

3) IF you could change anything about getting a patent what would you change and why?
    Is there anything in the patent process that is more complicated with different kinds of products?

4) I mean i guess I didn't find anything wrong with what the author said but that's because I was a pinch confused.. so yeah.

Elevator Pitch No. 1

My company is ThermaKorp, we provide stylish yet affordable weather appropriate clothing. Living in Florida, especially around this time of year and the beginning of the winter months, it is extremely cold in the mornings yet gets hotter as the day goes on. It would be very beneficial to be able to have an article of clothing one could put on in the morning to keep warm, that could also double as a bit of a cooling device to keep them cooler as the heat rose outdoors.
