Entrepreneurship

1)  Tenaciousness is a competency.  What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? The behaviors that I have used to keep up with the requirements of this course are time management and organization. I think that is the main behavior to be successful in this course.   2)  Tenaciousness is also about attitude.  Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this? I think that what pulled me through was thinking about the end, giving up would not make things easier, it would just make things harder for me, especially in the future. I think just having that mindset will help you to push through whatever is going on.  3)  Three tips.  What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fosterin...

The Wright Brothers , David McCullough 1) You read about an entrepreneur: What surprised you the most? They were never married.   What about the entrepreneur did you most admire?

The opportunity would provide many business opportunities for entrepreneurs. I realized that there are more people with the need, so that would be a good opportunity for opening a business in Gainesville. My opportunity involves opening Brazilian restaurants in Gainesville Florida. There are many Brazilian people living in Gainesville, and that would satisfy them. The good thing about this idea is that it is not only for Brazilian people that live in Gainesville, but it is also for all people that like Brazilian food. I think that it is a great opportunity for business. I could talk to some people that have the same need and with that will bring more people together to help to open the business. 

The opportunity that I'm pursuing is the problem of the lack of international restaurants in Gainesville in Florida. The who: Brazilian people in Gainesville, people who likes Brazilian food. The what: Not being able to eat Brazilian food. The why: No convenient Brazilian restaurant located near Gainesville. Testing the who: I think that not only Brazilian people in Gainesville have the need, but also everyone that likes Brazilian food. Testing the what: Finding a way to open Brazilian restaurants in Gainesville. Testing the why: Driving to other cities to be able to eat Brazilian food. Interview 1: I interviewed someone from Brazil that lives in Gainesville, and she said that she has the same problem.

It is a need that she experiences regularly because she just came to the United States and she is trying to adapt to American food. Interview 2:...

Opportunity 1: Climate Change is Causing More Natural Disasters https://www.thebalance.com/top-usa-future-economic-trends-3305666 The food prices are rising as the weather becomes hot. Climate change can create random storms and flooding. When those disasters happen, there is a big loss for the economy in the country. There are some places in the country that has more losses than others. A good example is Florida. In the past year, there were many hurricanes in Florida. Farmers lose a lot of money when this type of disaster happens, and that is a big loss in the economy. I form the belief from experience. I have many friends that are worried about it, so I hear about it a lot and have to do stuff to try to change it.
