Napkin 2

I am freshman journalism major at UF. I am very motivated and hard working, and I am determined to succeed in what I do. I have always wanted to become a travel journalist, however, once I got into college, I realized that I wanted to do something more. Journalist are only ever to tell the truth through writing, but then have to sit back and watch without giving their opinion or fighting for the cause. I want to be the next step. Hopefully through advocacy law, I can do this, and my business concept is just the start of all of this. Through advocacy law, I hope to fight for social issues and issues that often go unseen. The California housing crisis is too often ignored, and by creating a possible solution and raising awareness I am able to start this journey. I am proposing an efficient way to help homeless people get off the streets and start normal lives, in addition to having more affordable housing for the people who can't afford the housing right now. BY having houses that are rehabilitation centers as well as lower price housing areas, there can be a lot of progress made. I am offering this to those who need it. For people who can't afford their housing, lots with affordable prices need to be made so this will be subsequently easier, where people are just moving into the more affordable housing lots. The rehabilitation and living centers are for people who are homeless and can't get back onto their feet because of the situation at hand. Customers will care because it is a part of necessities to have a shelter and somewhere to start your life over again. There have been lots of attempts at this idea, and are some currently. It has been tried, just not in this way, and not on the scale it needs to be. By starting with a plan, there can be ideas to build upon this, for example building more high rise and affordable apartments so we can have more people in the same proximity. This issue has been there for so long, and the difference between me and the people trying to solve it is no one is taking action. Everyone is too afraid to waste funding on these ideas, but then the problem worsens and they are not relevant. The point is, I am very determined to help solve this issue and hope that I can find ways to start to try and solve it, one way or another. These five events definitely bring together my business more because people want to know why you care and why you are willing to fight and not just give up. I think by getting to know the individual and their plans a business can have much stronger roots.

    Good Morning Anna,
    I admire your initiative and your ability to synthesize a career path from your interests and passions. This idea is just another example of you combining your interests into an idea. This is such a valuable skill, because your work is much greater when you have true passion and care for your work. How was you last idea napkin and did you receive any feedback?

Elevator Pitch 3

https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCuctrHd0VYW4bwCPZd9qkAQ/videos/upload?d=ud&filter=%5B%5D&sort=%7B%22columnType%22%3A%22date%22%2C%22sortOrder%22%3A%22DESCENDING%22%7D I did not get comments on my last elevator pitch so I don't know what I can go off for for that question. I think I changed how I approached the camera as well as how I talked and confidence levels. I tried to make more eye contact and speak with a better and more clear voice.

Creating a Customer Avatar

My customer avatar could be a wide range of people, but if I had to be specific about who my customer was, this is what I'd imagine they would be. My customer doesn't have to be in a specific age range, but probably someone who is over 30 and is working multiple jobs. I would imagine they are hard working and try to save as much money as they can, so if this means using a bike to get to work or not having a car, they would do it. My customer avatar may have a family, probably with a few kids, but my customer avatar would probably not have a significant other or else they would be better off financially. I think my customer avatar also in her free time would be cooking and cleaning and doing things they have to get done because they wouldn't be able to afford a lot of free time. I would think that my customer is a democrat,, considering most people who live in California are and also anyone who is struggling to afford the housing there would support democrats trying to give ...

Whats Next

The next step is to implement lots that have cheaper housing so that people with lower incomes still have places to live. I didn't necessarily get a chance to talk to homeless people in California, but I did talk to people like real estate as well as people who have studied the topic in the area. The general next steps to make the product possible would be to talk to the governing body in California, and set up where these places would go. Also to contact any non-profit organizations that could help. In a different market, these places could be used as immigration centers as well. We shouldn't be holding people under terrible conditions and if this could be a way for people to get the things they need and be checked than it may work. This topic is very controversial, but making shelters like this could be a huge help if it was done the right way. At the moment there are places like this, but they don't neccesarily serve the right purpose or treat people well. I think from ...
