8A



The Opportunity: More and more people are becoming obsessed with their cell phones and it is killing focus, productivity, and their overall happiness. Especially high school, college students, and younger people in the workforce are constantly disturbed and distracted by their phones, which also brings them out of flow states (in which people are most productive). A lot of people are noticing that their phone is getting in the way of their day to day activities and makes them procrastinate. I have been researching psychology-related topics and reading books about addictions and I am noticing great parallels to alcohol, drug, and nicotine usage.

The product/ service: I will create a step to step guide, in an online course, to help people overcome their cell phone addictions, by giving them examples, tips, tricks (lifehacks), and challenges to overcome procrastination due to smartphones.

    Hi Steve,
    You could not be more correct. Phones and technology are more of an issue today than they have ever been. I appreciate you shedding light on the effects of tech in the workplace as well as in public. I think your solution is a good one, but I think it would work better as a face to face class or a book. I am not sure that the most effective way to combat cell phone use is through an online class.

    Hello Steven,
    This is so true, almost everyone is obsessed with their phones and all things social media. As the world of technology continues to grow rapidly, there is a higher need now than ever to produce something or take advantage of the opportunity to get people off of their phones and interacting in the real world. I believe that you are on the right tract when it comes to creating a guide to help people with their addictions to cellphones, but it might be more effective and efficient to place a class that people have to interact in person and not through more technology.

Bug List: 1. Dirty toilets and dirty handles in the library bathrooms. a.

3A – Your Entrepreneurship Story

Image
My cousin created a software program about a year ago. It is very difficult having to build software, coming up with a business plan, creating a budgeting plan, establishing a marketing strategy, and searching for potential investors on your own. That’s why I am currently supporting my cousin and taking some work off his shoulder. I am mainly focusing on describing the target audience as best as I can, and I am putting a marketing plan together. I am also working on the most important social media platforms for the company. Entrepreneurship is constant work and there are always new obstacles to overcome. But for me, it seems like the biggest challenge is to get the ball rolling in the first place and starting something. Once there is progress the motion keeps ongoing. Just like newton’s first law of motion states,” An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will continue to move at a constant speed in its original direction unless acted upon by...

Inbound Marketing What was the general theme or argument of the book?  In general, the book  Inbound Marketing , by Brian Halligan, talks about how to generate leads on the internet. The main topics are SEO, Blogging, Social Media and other tools for building your brand.      How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? In class, we have discussed how to start a business successfully but did not dive very deep into marketing strategies and online presence. This book gives you the basics for any business, to create leads online.   If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?   The exercise would involve creating a blog and social media channels for your business. Setting up all accounts and just starting to create content on them. In addition, a bonus to this exercise would be getting in touch with people in the same indus...
