4A - Forming an Opportunity Belief

1)     I believe that there is an opportunity for a coffee shop to be built in my neighborhood. 2)     The unmet need is not being able to get a quality cup of coffee and not being able to get the unique experience of being in a coffee shop. The people who have this need are people who really enjoy coffee, students or anyone in the workforce, or anyone who enjoys going to a coffee shop as a hangout. This need comes from the fact that we used to have a Starbucks years ago in a nearby shopping center that was a 10-minute drive from our house however, ever since they closed it the next closest one is around a 20-minute drive. This is a huge inconvenience for anyone who would like to simply grab a cup of coffee.

An entrepreneurship story that I can share is one that I'm actually living out right now! I'm currently doing an internship with a direct marketing firm called Symbio Global Inc.

However, personally I was also very interested in taking this course....

2A - Bug List

When I have to repeat myself after explaining something long and complicated Why? Sometimes I'm explaining something in the best way that I know I could have and it can take me a long time but in the end if the person didn't understand I get frustrated and think there's no way I could explain that again as perfectly as I did. Inefficient and unfair system with purchasing tickets on AXS website Why? The other day I waited on a website to get concert tickets that I REALLY wanted and the website placed me in a line to wait my turn. Once it was my turn it showed me that no tickets were left. What was the point of keeping me in the line then? That was very unfair and just cruel to wait for nothing. The traffic in Miami during morning and afternoon rush hours Why? I know traffic during rush hour is supposed to be bad, but it is ESPECIALLY bad here in Miami. I will never comprehend how that many cars could be out on the expressway at the same time. A 30 minute drive turns ...
