Principles Of Entrepreneurship

Editorial: State should consider taxing plastic bags https://infoweb.newsbank.com/apps/news/document-view?p=WORLDNEWS&t=pubname%3AGSGB%21Gainesville%2BSun%252C%2BThe%2B%2528FL%2529/year%3A2019%212019/mody%3A0825%21August%2B25&f=advanced&action=browse&format=text&docref=news/1758FE48CF8EB638 This story talks about the negative effect that plastic bags have in our community and ecosystem. It offers up the idea to tax plastic bags to encourage consumers to stop utilizing plastic bags as often. The writer also shows cases where other well established cities have taken similar steps to end plastic pollution and the positive impact it had. In some instances, governments used the tax money to clean up the city even more whether it was local waterways or just more eco friendly services. The problem is that consumers dispose of the plastic bags improperly and leave the city looking messy and unwelcoming. All residents of Gainesville have this issue. Most peopl...

In my bug list I talked about several things that have relatively cheap and effective solutions. But the issue I'll be solving is older car security. For most online accounts you can have two factor authentication so why not have it for your older vehicle? I drive a 2004 F-150 that only uses a key to unlock the doors and occasionally I forget to lock it up if I'm in a rush and nearly every time I've forgotten to lock it I've come back to either missing change, clothes, and wallets. I've gotten a lot better about not keeping valuables in my car and locking it every time before leaving but there are still some outlier days where I am less responsible. I intend on creating two factor authentication to unlock my car door. I will use an arduino with an RFID module that will allow me to scan an RFID fob on my door that will open the keyhole allowing me to unlock the car or vice-versa. The RFID will automatically lock the car door when it is shut and will only open agai...

In high school I always saw entrepreneurs as college dropouts who were either well known and extremely wealthy or as college dropouts who just bugged their friends with new pyramid schemes every week. But upon my arrival to UF I realized that wasn't the case. We had a big presentation for the Innovation Academy and the speaker was a student at UF who was building PC's for people and selling them out of his dorm room to help pay for tuition and room & board. He began his own company in his dorm room and after graduation he had turned it into a much larger company. He had been an entrepreneur and still a pretty good student which I didn't think was possible. He helped me realize that I can have both, I can live the entrepreneur lifestyle and still have a college degree to get a normal job in case all of my ideas flunk in the marketplace. I mainly chose to take ENT3003 because it is a requirement for the Innovation Academy but also to help me see new career choices. I...

Here are some things that bug me... The campus gym is always packed, unless you get there early in the morning. This probably occurs because the majority of people take classes in the first half of the day and go to the gym at varying times after that. As an Innovation student we all get kicked out of housing before the last week of summer classes and are forced to find living for finals. This happens every year because housing needs time to get rooms ready for incoming freshman. Archer Rd. and 34th street are insanely backed up from 7 AM to 9 AM every week day. I suppose everyone is going onto campus or going to work at this time. The libraries are always packed and often too loud. People use them as hang out spots sometimes rather than study areas. College is ridiculously expensive. Everyone has to get paid and the government doesn't want to be the ones to pay, making college a paid privilege, even though it's highly recommended in today's workforce. Both apartme...
