19A - Idea Napkin 2

1)You - My main aspirations are to set up a successful business that would make the life of other people first. One trait that I value is putting "solving a problem that people have" before "what profits I can make". I am very good at communicating with other people, and I think that this will definitely be a benefit to me when it comes to talking to other people about their issues. It will also be greatly beneficial for when I am networking an looking for potential partners.

2)What are you offering to customers - Reflecting on my last post, instead of focusing on the material product or service I am offering, I believe I am offering customers something much more intangible. I am offering a solution to their problem. I am offering convenience to my customers, I am offering a less-stressful parking situation for UF students.

3)Who are you offering it to - I am offering my product / service to anybody who currently is stressed out about the parking situation at campus. I am offering my product to anybody who currently owns a car and utilizes it to travel around campus.

4)Why do the care? - People will ultimately care because we already have stressful lives. People are constantly traveling around, working, meeting deadlines. Although it may seem like not a lot, one little addition to someone's life that cuts back on their stress can make a huge change to their life.

5)What are your core competencies - I personally have dealt first hand with a lot of these stressful situations. Because of this, I can easily put myself in my customer's shoes. I can better relate to their problems, and find the best way possible to come up with a solution.

These elements definitely fit very well together. There are a lot of aspects that go into a successful business idea, and the more varied and unique they are that help come up with a solution to the problem at hand, the better. I think that with my determination and creativity, I can definitely find a way to come up with the solutions that I need to the problem. It is important to keep in mind all the elements of the problem to fully solve it, including who has the problem, what solution I am offering, and why the customer would care.

Feedback Memo: None of the feedback on my last post was really critical or constructive. However, I still took the time to look over my original post and make the appropriate changes.
    1. Firstly I tried to answer the questions less literally to actually acknowledge the intangible benefits I am offering rather than focus on the product.
    2. Secondly I tried to keep it more brief than my last post to keep it concise and stop myself from going off on tangents.
