30A – FINAL REFLECTION


My posts:
Reading the previous posts of this year, I must say they are some flaws and mistakes but they are some that really helped me to bring this project out alive. I thought I knew a lot more about the topic, but I did not a lot of people gave a lot of valuable information, especially those who work in the airline industry.

My experiences:
The experience that I take the most with me are the elevator pitches. I believe that the elevator pitches have helped me grow and gather my thoughts in a great timely fashion. It also helped to be more concise and creative with my speeches. Another post I liked, was what's your secret sauce. Having to analyze myself and see what are the good things I am good at was challeging, but helpful to see my skills retrospectively.

Entreprenurial mindset:
I think that this class has helped me tremendously in order to view things with a more entreprenurial mindset. I was able to analyze and see things in a different way. I wouldn't call myself an entrepreneur, but I believe that with the skills gathered it will help me tremendously with what I do in the future.

My reccomendation:
What I would suggest for everyone taking the class would be to read the assignments beforehand. Check what it is that you have to do next for the week. I would also suggest to set a tangible idea, because mine is very hard to be brought to life so I will never know what would've happened.

    Hi Mario,

    Great job on your assignment. I think you followed the expectations properly and were able to follow the expectations that were expected from the professor. I think you exceeded what was asked of you and completed every task that was encouraged for us to follow. Good job on your assignment and good luck on your future endeavors.

    Hi Mario,
    It was a pleasure watching your idea grow this semester. I think you did a great job especially with the interviews of people. I think you took what they had to say into consideration and were able to implement it into your ideas and make your idea even more solid and see opportunities that might not have been too easy to spot at the beginning. Good luck!

11A - IDEA NAPKIN NO. 1

1)     Me:  Mario Paredes was born in Chile in 1995. After moving to the US at age 12, from Chile he has grown a lot and learned a lot. He lived one year in Germany, where he learned the German language. He now speaks fluently three languages: Spanish, English and German. Other than that, his skills are pretty much the same of an average University of Florida student. He is very good at finding good deals and purchasing good at a low price. He has had the opportunity to travel a lot on his own, where it has lead him to grow a lot as a person, throughout different experiences abroad. He does not enjoy being in his comfort zone as he feels sometimes that drags him down so he needs to be constantly looking for new upcoming challenges. By having traveled so much, and speaking different languages he has been able to detect flaws on international travel. Bringing this experience to create a new airline that starts operating within the Latin American market and especiall...

8A - SOLVING THE PROBLEM

Opportunity: I see a huge opportunity because there is an important a huge market that is not satisfied. Either people that are deal hunters like me and search for good deals to travel or professionals or people who rather spend that extra money and travel not necessarily more luxurious but have a more pleasant and comfortable flight. As we saw people that are interested right now in traveling are aware of this issue, yet nobody has really stepped up to do something about it. Obviously, this idea is not something I am committed to 100% but I do see an opportunity for a market that is hot having their wishes fulfilled. Service to be offered: My implementation would be to create an airline that competes with the current airlines that travel to South America. I am not sure now after the interviews if the low-cost or high-end airline is a better idea, this would have to go under extensive research in order to find which one would become more successful. But I pretend to offer services ...

29A – VENTURE CONCEPT NO. 2

Image
Venture: Blankenese Airlines Opportunity: I see an opportunity in opening a new airline that is top in the airline industry. We want to serve Latin American cities that are often ignored. We want to offer a good service where the comfort of our clients and travelers is the most important feature. We want to provide our customers with a good array of inflight entertainment, new and top of the line aircraft, high-quality food and service, hassle-free booking and wiggle room for luggage and carry on. Innovation: We see that people are becoming more unhappy with the flying and traveling experience. We want to restore this concept by providing something never offered before. It seems now that traveling is more complicated than ever when in reality it should be a lot more simple, exactly how it was years ago. We will make a profit without the airline mainly due to the use of airplanes that are extremely self-sufficient and the operating costs are not too much. We will also charge mo...
