    Hey Emanuely,
    I thought your post of this book was a great simplistic summary of the main points. Stating that the general point of the book was the idea that in your mind the two mechanisms that continuously battle for decision power makes this book an enticing read for just about anyone. The fact that you have learned and gained financial knowledge from this book will help set you up for your financial future. Great post!

    Hi Emanuely,
    I really enjoyed reading your post and how this class and the book gave you so much advice as to how to run businesses in the future. I hope that everyone in this class successfully utilizes the skills they learned to become very great business people. I plan on reading the rest of the books on the list on my own.

    Hey Emanuely,
    I read the same book, and found it very interesting. I like how you highlighted that these two mechanisms in the brain cause conflict in decision making. I Think it is important that people know why they overthink or have contradictory thoughts. This is the first step in learning how to control these thoughts and be able to exploit your brains different perspectives to further advance your intelligence.

Mindset by Carol S. Dweck 1) What was the general theme or argument of the book? Researching about a belief about our midset. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? I think that it connects with having a positive mindset and believing in yourself when doing anything in your life. 3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve? Design a project for the business idea that we had. 4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations? I think that was interesting when it said that our mindset controls what we are on our day-to-day.

An unmet need that I found was the lack of international food in Gainesville, Florida. Gainesville is a college town where a lot of international people come to study or even just to leave there, but unfortunately, Gainesville does not provide them with food from their country. Gainesville also does not have anywhere where they can buy food to cook. There is not a specific type of customer. The customers will be from all over the world, so I cannot imagine only one type. What I have in common with the customers is that I am from another country and I live in Gainesville, I have the same need.
