- My talents include reading, writing, and planning, and problem solving. I have experience in job searching and mentoring others. I want to have a career that will allow me to help others solve their problems. I think this business will allow me to combine these strengths and aspirations, as I will be able to provide a way for them to solve their career problems. I also think my passion for solving problems will allow me to succeed in this business.
- I'll solve customers' unmet needs by setting up a career search workshop service that will allow them to receive advice and help with career planning and obtaining their professional goals. I'll help them narrow down the multitude of options they have, and simplify things.
- The people that need these services are people who have unfulfilled career aspirations, and the lack of knowledge to fulfill them. These people will be low-wage workers that have the desire to move up in their career path and make more money.
- Customers will care about this service because it will help them make more money. Furthermore, for many it will give them the kind of career-oriented achievement they have lacked. This will provide monetary and internal value.
- Using college students as the workshop facilitators will set us apart since they are currently receiving this career planning and job search advice. They have the most current knowledge in this area of expertise. This may be challenging, but the unique job platform should be appealing to students.
Feedback memo: I should specify how my specific passions make my idea unique. Also, I should point out the challenge many people face in narrowing down career options and making them less overwhelming. I incorporated both of these ideas into my new napkin in steps 1, 2, and 5.

Teaching individuals about their future and inspiring others is a great way to help others be successful. In all, I think that you improved on showing how your passions relate to your idea which is the most important factor in being successful yourself.
Hi Abby,
ReplyDeleteI think this service would be an amazing idea in order to help those that may have fallen off their path trying to discover what they want to be in life. You did a good job describing every part of your idea and how the elements tie together. Using college students could be beneficial for it will help those seeking help and solidify the knowledge for the college students.
