no sleep for the music geek

      During this course, I have had to discipline my self to keep up with the workload. Many of these assignments have seemed tedious and not worth the work that I have put in. Many college classes that I have taken feel this way at some point.  This semester I have wanted to give up many times. Summer classes can be scary and the workload can be extremely tough. Every week I pick one thing to look forward too. Whether it's hiking, a family vacation, or even just sleep I use that to help me get through whatever I’m doing. Thinking about the things I have to do to get to whatever I have planned afterward makes the workload fly by.  I would suggest making time for your self. Even if its just 30 minutes a day, find something that takes your mind off everything and everyone. Also, find something to look forward to on the weekend. Almost like a daily goal and a weekly goal type thing. And third, try to get work done ahead of time, that way if you come to a day whe...

Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for the Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance  Not much about this reading surprised me about Elon Musk. My home town is Cape Canaveral so we hear and see things about him and other aspects of the space industry often. I admire his work ethic and ability to extend that down the branches of his company. I do not admire how hard he pushes his employees. Many of them quit after the first few years feeling extremely burnt out. He also comes off as uptight and mightier than thou but many CEOs come across this way and without that kind of confidence would not be as successful as they are. Musk is the definition of a perfectionist and will continue to only provide excellence in all of his endeavors. If I were to ask him a question I would probably ask what he wants to accomplish in ten years. Also, I would ask for a meaningful job. I think Elon Musk believes anything can be achieved if you work hard enough. He is a glass half full, take no bull ki...

I have skills in customer service and music appreciation. I’m not sure exactly what I want to do career wise but I would like to give people the same opportunities for success and help people realize that success is defined differently for everyone.  I am offering a service for customers to help them feel more confident in the clothes they wear. Not all clothing is designed to fit all body types. Being able to tailor something to your self is going to improve all the struggles associated with ill-fitted clothing.  I am offering this to US customers who have access to an app and a way to mail packages.  People are very focused on appearances, the beauty industry is an example of that. Clothing when it is not fitting can be extremely troublesome especially when you feel that nothing looks right on you. Feeling confident in the clothing you wear is the reason some people shop at specific brands over others. This service takes mass-produced size and style types that ...

      In the second round of interviews I conducted, many new problems were brought to my attention. Unfortunately, my computer lost all the responses I collected from these people but I remember the main points that were made.        Many people experienced body shape change when their weight changed. Those on the smaller size found that most things fit them well and had no problems with how they looked or felt in those clothes. People on the larger size had items fitting oddly in specific places that seemed to be consistent across styles.        Who is in it: People who do not fit the generic body shapes that large clothing companies produce. What the need is: The ability to customize clothes to all body types.  Why the need exists: Clothing companies only produce items for certain body types/shapes.  Who is not in it: People who fit the generic body shapes. What the need is not: Making clothing items sm...

A service where you can have your clothes tailored to you. Using an app, you can select details about the clothes that need to be fitted. A step by step guide to taking measurements of your body will show up and that information is then privately linked to your account. Changes to those measurements can be made at any time. Your clothes will then go in the mail and sent to a facility where they are tailored to the measurements submitted. Once tailored they are then returned via mail to the customer to try on. 

Economic Trend Opportunites  1. Economy Added 263,000 jobs in April, unemployment falls to 3.6%, new 50-year low  https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/05/03/april-jobs-report-economy-added-253-000-jobs-last-month/3656949002/ With more people having jobs more people are able to spend. These employees are some of the hardest workings in the world and hardly take time off. Basic needs in day to day life may be neglected giving rise to an opportunity in simple task doing. People who work long hours and on weekends would most likely have this problem. Finding people willing to do tasks as either employees or payment on a task by task basis might be difficult to find. Especially for the rare cases where someone feels they are in danger while assisting someone.  2.
