My secret sauce
Five ways in which I am unique enough to start this company.
- I am extremely innovative. Where others see problems, I see opportunity. My mind is constantly running with ways to improve our everyday lives.
- Taking technology and applying new applications to it. I am always using tech. Whether it be on my phone or computer I'm always staying up to date with the latest technology. I am constantly thinking of news ways to apply tech features to new ideas in order to solve problems.
- I can influence others. Whenever I'm passionate about something and know the end goal I want to reach, all I need is a short period of time and I can get anyone to join my team. The idea doesn't have to be great, however, the way you talk about it does.
- I'm great at taking a bunch of different thoughts and conveying it into one message. My co-founder has a lot of great ideas and is very A.D.D., however this is where I come in. I can take her thoughts and great ideas and turn them into one powerful message or idea.
- I'm very big into UX/UI design. I can envision how I want something to look and function as soon as an idea comes to mind.
Interviews - they are voice recorded because they live back in Ohio(where I'm originally from) and sent me their thoughts last minute.
After hearing what kelsey has to say, it sounds like she thinks I'm very innovative and I don't look at things like the rest of people. I'm always see opportunities in everything I do.
Isaac stated that I was really good at coming up with ideas and expressing them in real life. Some people can come up with great ideas, however, they don't know how to design them so others can understand.
It sounds like my dad thinks I would be very good at starting this travel app because of our experiences with traveling all around the world and the problems we encounter.
From my brother's perspective, he clearly thinks I'm smart enough to make this app very successful. It was amazing actually hearing nice things from your younger brother. That doesn't happen very often to anybody.
Reflection:All of the things that I listed above are 100% how I feel about myself. I'm a fairly confident person and I can recognize what my strengths and weaknesses are. Even without mentioning what I thought about myself to my family and friends, they said pretty much the same things I mentioned above. I'm pretty happy to hear this from them, because it reassures that I must be doing something right. I would not make any corrections because this truly is how I feel about myself and they confirmed them.
All the people you interviewed were very complimentary of you and your abilities as an entrepreneur. It’s good to be confident and really You do seem to see yourself the same way that your family and friends do and that’s a good thing. Some people don’t have that same kind of self awareness.

ReplyDeleteDrew,
ReplyDeleteAfter watching your interviews, it seems that your friends and family agree with you about what you said, especially about being innovative and great about coming up with ideas. You also seemed very comfortable interviewing them and it seems that they support you with your business idea. It seems that you are good with influencing people, but they didn't necessarily mention that. Check out my blog at: http://usingmediaforgodsglory.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html
Hi Drew,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It is always good when other people view you in the same way you view yourself. As long as both views are positive! I am really impressed with how much self awareness you have. Having a technology background will help you do pretty much anything. Unfortunately, I did not do this assignment but here is a link to my blog
