John Grillo- John does his picking based upon his primary needs and secondary needs. Considering the first exercise in 14A was solely based on problem solving. John is not only addressing his primary need and how the product will solve his problem, but he is thinking more deeper and analytically on how the smaller, more basic needs are going to be met. Having this open mind provides John with the adequate tool set in finding alternatives.
Mary Wright- Mary looks toward every avenue in finding alternatives. She states that this is the most pragmatic approach in finding out exactly what she needs, and how the competitors fluctuate, therefore giving her an open, external view of every thing that she needs.
Rod Jefferson- Rod was the most quality based interviewee. He was concerned primarily on how his main problem will be solved, I quote what Rod said," The only reason any job is made, is because there is a problem to be solved, and I want my problem solved."
How/Where do they buy? All three candidates participate in show-rooming. They shop online, and browse in the store for the physicality of the products or services.
Post-Purchase Evaluation- Again to sum up the most important quality for all three of them. Is to make sure there problem at hand is being solved efficiently.
Drawing Conclusions- Overall all the shoppers were very similar. They all participate in show-rooming, all want a primary problem solved. But small things were different, specifically in their alternative solutions.

14A Tenacity and Paying it Forward
1. The behaviors that I demonstrated through this course have been unprecedented work ethic, will power, the hunger to be better than everyone in life. Those have been my motivating factors on what keeps me going. Wanting to be at the top of my game, and having an internal locus of control that drives me forward everyday. Whether that is pursuing class requirement goals, or personal and life goals. I have been a determined individual my whole life. My friends, or people that know me will define me as hustler, but not in a derogatory term, but in a positive way.
2. Not just me, but everyone feels like giving up at some point. But, going back to my 1st point, is that the fear of failure far outweighs my temporary feeling of giving up. I believe to be successful you need to do things others do not. Whether that is working more, working smarter, listening, adapting, comprehending. You need to be continuously growing an getting better. There has definitely been times where I felt like giving up with this class. But wanting to develop and open, entrepreneurial mind, and graduate, of course, have kept me going.
3. Three tips I would give are: One, start early. two, overcome mental barriers, learn how to think creatively and innovate. Three, Learn how to disconnect.

13A Reading Reflection Behavior
1. The Wright Brothers
What surprised you the most?
The most intriguing thing to me about the Wright brothers was there bond, yet clashing personalities.
What about the Entrepreneur did you admire the most?
There unprecedented work ethic to achieve their goals, and how much they failed on the path there. They also had independent minds that helped benefit them in the long run.
What about the Entrepreneur did you admire the least?
I did admire their work ethic, but I did not admire there lack of social presence, they had no balance. IT was all work, work, work. As human beings, I am a firm believer in balance. I am no life expert, but I believe that is a good start.
Did the Entrepreneur encounter adversity?
Yes, the entrepreneur did. Multiple times, a specific example was through their failure with the printing business. But they had multiple failures through the duration of their career.
The competencies were:
Resilience, determination, work ethic, adaptability, and an entrepreneurial, creative mindset, that allowed them to think outside the box with the technical side of their creation.
One part of the reading was confusing
Was how they constructed there projects. Didn't fully understand, but they had to continuously interested.
Two Questions
How the hell were you smart enough to build the first airplane? How many times did you fail in your life on things that meant a lot to you?
The Entrepreneurs opinion of hard work
My opinion of his hard work is being continuously productive. Throughout every endeavor they pursue.

12A Figuring out Buyer Behavior

Testing the Hypothesis
Inside the Boundary: Jeff Richards
Need: Improved transportation in the South Florida area, since we are both from south Florida we found a commonality and something that can be improved. The need exists because Jeff is a public commuter and this affects him in every facet.
Kelly Lavalle:
Need: Improved health factors. My article before was a health epidemic and on what to eat and what not. Kelly is also a south Florida native and was able to see that a healthy diet is something that she needs to establish.
Why: This need exists because Kelly is overweight and this could affect her overall health down the road.
Rick Call:
Need: improvement from the Miami Dolphins football offensive line.
The need exits because Rick is an avid Miami Dolphins fan and wants to see improvement from the team.
Steve Benjamin
Need: New moving app.
The need exists: because Steve is consistently moving around the country and something convenient that can be used from an app is feasible for his lifestyle.
Nicole Wright:
Need: Improved Health
The need exists: because Nicole is constantly learning about health trends and wants to be a healthier individual.
Solving the Problem
My opinion of entrepreneurship is that it is assessing opportunities that are given. In my 5A assignment i provide a few opportunities and will be exploiting them. To name a few they were a roster issue with the Miami Dolphins affecting their win percentage, transportation issues and software development to help mask those problems, public justice in criminal law in the Sean Taylor case, another transportation issue in South Florida, and a health epidemic. Whether it is entrepreneurship, sales or life, business is formed around the main idea of one thing, and that is to solve a problem. Most of these issues are public transportation, health and corporate sports settings. I would say that these problems can be solved through knowledge/education. education does not need to be formal, but can be just educating yourself on public issues, for example, transportation on. Having a more knowledgeable informed public on issues in a certain geographical location can go a long way in problem solving. So the solution would be to implement more education, knowledge to combat problems that are general. Such as public transportation, public health.

7A Testing Hypothesis
The Who: IT Software
The what: Efficiently simplifying processes for businesses via Saas
The why: Competitors coming into play, new technology
Others do share this need because everyone needs technology for their business to succeed and be effective.
Boundaries would be the new technology being innovated and rapid growth in the industry.
The why would not stand for everyone. Because in business different consumers, different companies require different needs.
Summarization of interviews
#1 Found that my why statement holds correctly, different consumers and company's have different needs in their software.
#2 Did find that they not only hold different needs, but they all do need something simplified, its that process and the price sensitivity that may be different for these businesses.
#3 Governmental regulations may play a huge factor. As in IT Saas directly to healthcare is rigorous because of rules and laws for medicare, medicaid, government funded action plans.
#4 The who is important because software not only at hospitals, or major services is used in fundamental sectors. Going to a bar and ordering a drink uses a software system to transact your payment.
#5 How are the fundamental problems tied together and how can they be solved. Through simplifying the complexities and understanding the problem at hand.

7. When a bar takes way too long to order a drink
Answer: Unless it is a slammed bar, there is no reason for a bartender to take an extraneously long time to deliver a drink to a patron, it just shouldn’t happen, make it timely.
8. I am bugged when its an 0-2 count and I guess the wrong pitch the pitcher is throwing
Answer: Life may be a guessing game, and so is baseball, this subject just rattles me when I dont guess correctly, referring to life, its about what is thrown at you and how you adapt, same is for baseball, pitcher throws a pitch and you must adapt to what is thrown. Still bothers me.
