Alexandvon's Bug List!
Below I will list twenty unmet needs that really BUG me.
1. Public bathrooms running out of paper towels. Why? Institutions often don't predict how many paper towels are actually needed throughout the day.
2. The sound of typing on your average keyboard. Why? Different manufacturers develop different keypad noises, all which are annoying. Touchscreen keyboards would be nice.
3. Having to remember to turn your car lights off. Why? not all manufactures put in automatic shuttoff systems. Why not?
4. Not having frie stands in America. Why? We let the Canadians bring in their mish mash gravy fries to the USA but we don't have Belgian traditional Frie stands. French fries are from Europe after all.
5. Having to take out the lint on the Dryer. Why? Apparrently in 2016 we don't have the technology to have automatic lint dispensers?
6. Waiting in line at the Post Office in Palm Beach County. Why? The mail offices are always understaffed. why not make a self checkout?
7. Having to present my I.D everytime i buy alcohol. Why? They need to verify my age. Why not have my age placed on my methods of payement such as my credit cards.
8. People double parking. Why? people don't know how to drive/park.
9. Excessive plastic packaging for everything we buy. Why? Convenience over the environment.
10. People driving slow in the left lane on I75. Why? They don't learn the basic rules of driving on the highway.
11. Having wrinkly clothes come out of the dryer. Why? If you don't time it right your clothes wrinkle.
12. Finding a bottle opener or corkscrew for a bottle of wine. Why? The cork system makes it hard to open a bottle to drink.
13. Waking up with bedhead cowlicks that won't go away in the morning. Why? Our hair is formed in our bed pillows.
14. Trying to find a specific item in a large supermarket like walmart. Why? There are no directories in place for the consumer.
15. Having to give all your personal info to a site like Google to create a simple blog. Why? they want as much information as theyt can get.
16. Watching 5 minutes of Commercials for 15 minutes of programming on CBS. Why? They want to flood our brains with adds for more profit margins.
17. Cellphones going through automatic updates at night; turning off your morning alarms. Why? I don't know why they reset the alarms but its frustrating.
18. Seeing cellphones on in Movie theaters. Why? People don't respect others viewing experience.
19. Not being able to use a credit card that was frozen even if you have money on it. Why? For security reasons.
20. Being on hold with BOA for 45 minutes until you get someone. Why? No idea Why.

My Entrepreneurship Story
Hello Everyone,
In this post I will share one of my Entrepreneurship experiences with you. When I was nineteen i saw a demand who's supply wasn't met. In rainy Belgium it is hard to keep your car clean. When it rains, mud enters the streets and cars drive through the mud. There are cheap car washes ,but they are placed in different areas and are often busy. One day I decided to solve this issue. I calculated my costs and I came up with a new idea. I created a mobile car washing company/van that washed others cars at their homes or work. I beat the price of local car wash dealerships and was still able to turn a profit. Advertising was easy. I would go to Supermarket areas and attach flyers to dirty cars. Two weeks later i was fully booked on the days I chose ,and I had customers that reserved spots weeks in advance. It became my weekend job and I was my own boss. I even hired my Romanian friend and trained him to clean the cars for me. This was the first time I put one of my ideas to action. My life has never been the same since. Go for your ideas;no matter what the cost.
I chose ENT3003 because I want to meet future business partners and I want to sharpen my talents as an Entrepreneur.
Ciao,
Brandon von Unruh.

About Me Introduction
Hello everyone!
My name is Brandon von Unruh. I am a General Studies major in Business Administration at Heavener. I like to consider myself a jack of all trades. Throughout my life I have had many different passions and have lived in many different places. I have a special connection with the ocean because I grew up walking distance to the beach in south Florida. I love to discover new things and I plan on forging a business venture that permits me to travel around the world. I am a dual citizen (Belgian/American) and speak french. I plan on using my experiences abroad to create a bridge of cultural ideas from Europe to America. I also have my eyes set on importing French wine to south Florida with the connections I have made in the south of France. I look forward to growing my network in ENT3003 and launching my import business by the end of the semester. I wish everyone the best of luck! Everyone has something to offer.
Cheers,
Brandon von Unruh.
