Your Venture's Unfair Advantage

1.       Technical knowledge – As an Info Systems major I get to know about some of the more technical aspects of things, including some coding.

2.       Business knowledge – Although my major focuses on the more technical side, it is still in the business school.

3.       Family connection – My aunt has worked at Bank of America for over 35 years so she’s a great resource for learning a lot about the financial side of things.

4.       Competitiveness – My motivation for things I do in life is derived from being competitive. This allows me to really go all in and work hard on whatever I do, because competitiveness isn’t limited to only a few things.

5.       Passion – Like I said, my passion comes from being competitive. Whatever I put my mind to I instantly become passionate about it because I want to push myself to prove, to me and others, that I did the best I could.

6.       Leadership – I have held multiple leadership positions in multiple organizations and worked my way up from a lower standing position in one of the organizations, overseeing an entire project.

7.       Social – I feel like I am extremely good at being able to talk and have a good time with people, but when it is needed, I can turn around and be professional. I think for my venture this is important because you want to be able to influence people by being relatable while maintaining a level of professionalism.

8.       Network – Outside of my aunt, I have networked with people that would more specifically help this venture. I’ve talked to people about how to manage and maintain the venture from a business perspective, while also learning from others how to work out the technical side and actually make the venture effective.

9.       Capital – Throughout my time in college I feel like I have done a great job at managing my money and creating some capital for myself through scholarship savings.

10.   Organization – I used to struggle a lot with organizational skills but throughout my life I have constantly told myself that I want to be considered an organized person one day and I am confident that I have reached that point.

I think my top resource would be passion simply because it is so flexible. It contains my competitive side within it, and has the ability to be put towards anything, making it extremely versatile. It might not be the most directly helpful resource in this venture, but it is was got it all started, so everything else relies on it.
