Sassky
Sassky is sassy and frisky combined. The definition of sassy is, "confident and energetic". The definition of frisky is, "very playful or lively".
At work, the girls love it. I work with all women in the front of the house and so far they are getting a kick out of it. We always joke around and on Fridays say frisky Friday. So, last Sunday I mentioned sassky instead to rhyme. I haven't heard anyone repeat it yet but if anything changes i'll add to my post!

Halfway Reflection
1.) In the beginning I didn't realize the assignments were due different days of the week. So, a behavior which I acquired was planning each assignment with my work schedule.
2.) I haven't gotten to the point of giving up yet. The only place I have felt like this somewhat is when I couldn't complete all of the assignments for the week. Since the extra credit are only available for a day, I have taken off of work early to try and get these completed to make up for the assignments missed.
3.) Three tips I would give next semesters students would include time management, get involved with people for the assignments, and do not stress. After reading some of the assignments, I found myself with a lot of anxiety. These grades are based off of ourselves so although that might seem convenient, sometimes it's more stressful knowing you can only do so much.

Reading Reflection No. 1
I decided to read Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. What surprised me the most about this book was Steve Jobs personality. He was a very particular person. When I think of Steve Jobs, I think of Apple or a genius. Now, it's a whole new ballgame. I least admired his personality. Jobs was a very heartless person in my book. Someone who complained too much to be so successful. The iPhone 4 was a problem which Jobs faced. Antennagate caused drop calls on the iPhone 4 and a huge controversy for apple users. In the beginning, Jobs didn't want to deal with the issue but eventually he offered apple users a free bumper case that would fix the problem. If i were able to ask Steve Jobs two questions they would be, how far do you think the iPhone would come in the future and what is the biggest size phone he would ever advance to. In my opinion, Steve Jobs believed hard work was perfection. I don't believe we share that opinion. Granted, I try my hardest to perfect every task at hand but I also understand sometimes it can't be done.

Idea Napkin No. 1
1.) I am currently a bartend manager at a restaurant. My skills are customer service, sales, and management. My dreams are to be successful and one day work for myself and provide others with great opportunity as well. This business would play a role in my life because of my current job. I have a soft spot for service industry employees because how we're perceived. I believe I have been very successful in managing my money, while having this job and being on my own. It would be nice to give back.
2.) I would be offering a service that could calculate a minimum pay, which the customers could budget off of. It would show people what they are able to afford and if they're in need of a second job to be comfortable or possibly more shifts.
3.) My customers would be mostly employees who work in the service industry. This could also work for hourly and salary employees as well.
4.) Some people don't know or understand how to budget. In this day and age, not all parents explain this to their kids. The people who aren't good at budgeting need help and this would be a good solution for them which wouldn't cost much money.
5.) I would have to say my core competencies are my experience. I have been in this industry for 6 years and have learned first hand without any help.
After piecing together these elements, I have realized that they to fit together. Who I am and what I want to provide to others, fits pretty well. Although this app would probably only provide a small income, I think it would still be successful.

Tweaking the Innovation
Budget Right
Services
The tangible- Is the output they see on their phone which is on the go with them at all times
Augmented- There is a 24/7 live chat to help the consumer if they have any problems or questions. There will also be a step by step on how to set up your app.
Services
- Service that only provides minimum budget for the month- This service will strictly generate a budget for a month of pay.
- Service that provides minimum budget for month plus a way to save- This service will generate a budget for a month of pay but also show you how to save money every month with the extra pay or bonuses accounted for throughout the month. This will use the bare minimum of bonus or extra cash earned.
- Service that provides minimum budget for month, way to save, and a vacation plan.- This service will generate a budget for a month of pay and separate a savings account from a vacation plan. The vacation plan will show a future plan on how to save for a cruise and also be able to budget when to take off of work so your bills are still paid for.

Testing the Hypothesis Part 2
The opportunity: An application designed to monitor a person in the service industry's pay for an entire month and then generate a minimum salary. This way employees that are tip based are able to budget efficiently every month.
Who: There are many people who fall outside of the opportunity I found. Some people make hourly pay, salary, commission, or tips. It is pointless for employees that are strictly salary because they know what to budget for every month.
What: Depending on how you get paid for your job would determine each need. This application could be designed for people with hourly, commission, and tips
Why: The needs are completely different. Even people in the service industry would vary on their needs. Depending on how many hours they work would be a huge factor. The price of the food or service they're entertaining would depend a lot as well.

Inside the boundary
- Service industry employees
- Hourly pay
- Commission based job
- To budget efficiently
- Jobs in these categories are hard to budget for.
Outside the boundary
- Salary paid employees
- To know what you're budgeting with
- The need isn't there because employees who get paid salary know what they're making every month.
Summary: The interviews I conducted were with employees on both sides. I asked questions regarding how they budget and save in their industries. It seems as if some people would recommend the app to help with budgeting on the service industry side. There are also people on the service industry side that wouldn't use it.
