One of our activities with the Advanced Technopreneurship subject is to watched the movie titled "Pirate of Silicon Valley" which is an old movie that is released on year 1999. The movie portrayed about how inventions come and what kind of abilities people must have in order to succeed in the Information Technology industry. With that said, Steve Jobs—as one of the characters of the movie—inspires me. He shows a lot of success and failure factors that contributed him as a technopreneur. I believe those are the things that I should keep wary as it will help me to as a BTM student.

After I watched the movie, my teacher tasked us to answer the question:

What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as technopreneur?

These are my answers on which I mainly noticed while watching the movie.

Tinkering

In the movie, I noticed that there are multiple scenes where Steve Jobs does much tinkering, specifically on electronics, during his early days at Apple. He is incredibly passionate and known as someone serious about design and aesthetics, and who was ready to spend a significant amount of time improving the appearance and impacts of Apple's products. This attention to detail and devotion to quality played a crucial role in Apple's success, and it helped to build the company's reputation for delivering creative and well-designed goods.

Faith
I noticed in the movie that Jobs was questionable about what he was doing with his life. Several people had given up on him as a college dropout and had little faith in his talents, which made me sad because I have several friends who also experienced the same thing. Nevertheless, Jobs never gave up on himself. He kept following areas that piqued his attention, hoping that, in the end, they would be more significant and even valuable, on which he would never regret anything.

Passion
The most remarkable characteristic of Steve Jobs that I saw in the film was his passion for the things he loved to do. He had a great passion for technology which amazed me the most. He is driven and determined to change the world through his ideas and multiple works at Apple.

Determination
I noticed that Steve Jobs kept his eyes and ears open and had the fortitude to embrace fresh possibilities as they presented themselves.

Innovation
Lastly, about Jobs' innovation, since before and up until now, Steve Jobs is widely regarded as one of the greatest technopreneurs of all time, yet he has had some notable flops. Which I believe are: Internal disagreements, over-engineering, lousy market timing, and insufficient market research were frequently to blame for these failures.

How do you see yourself as a technopreneur?

This is a really big question for me because this is one of the questions that sticks into my mind recently. And, if I did not manage to seek a clear answer for this question, however, I am fully aware that it will definitely give impact my life in the future.

So back from the question, do I even see myself as a technopreneur? As of now, as a third-year college student, I can honestly see myself. I can definitely imagine it. However, I am not really that confident in terms of my entrepreneurial and technopreneurial skills. Which is why, after watching the movie titled "Pirates of Silicon Valley", I honestly felt envy towards Steve Jobs. Especially that he is so passionate about his works. Compared to me, I easily get scared and pressure in terms to any works. Which made me feel nervous and lose confident. He is such a talented man. I wish I could become like him someday. Maybe in the future.

Nevertheless, even though I do not possess such skills like him, I will take this movie as my motivation to continue my dream job and build passion toward technopreneurship.

1.) Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad (Rancho)

Aamir Khan played the Rancho character. Rancho is the most prominent and leading character in the film. In the film, I observed that he is a genius among them and also the optimistic one. He is the epitome of genuine wisdom.

Rancho is the one who lives his life not according to what society wants. Instead, he lives with his own rules. I was surprised by his notion that "you do not need money to be in school; all you need is a uniform," by doing so, he just proved that any of us could do anything if we wanted to. I admire this character because, despite the pressures of college, he rose to the top of his class and demonstrated to everyone that grades are unimportant and only serve to divide people. What matters is that we learned something from it, even if we did not have excellent grades. It would lay the groundwork for our future success. Among the three, he was confident in doing what he thought was right.

2.) Raju Rastogi

Raju was the one who always depended on Gods. He fears a lot of things. When he faced an obstacle, he faltered easily. He always wanted the easy way out. His family depends a lot on him, and that pressure got him easily that is why depending on Gods was his escape for all his problems. In addition, Raju's persistence and tenacity are two of his primary strengths. Despite numerous obstacles and disappointments throughout the film, he never loses up on his dreams. This quality can be useful in the corporate environment for overcoming challenges and being committed to achievement.

Today's blog will be about Marketing Opportunity which is something that my teacher did tackle today during our class time. To begin, we all know that Marketing is a crucial component of every business's success, and there are numerous ways for businesses to promote their brand and interact with customers. It is all around us, and it is also an important element of any business's success.

To accomplish a fantastic marketing opportunity, I discovered that careful planning, inventiveness, and a willingness to take risks are all required. Without performing those steps, and if any entrepreneurs are unable to identify a target consumer, they are most certainly not prepared to start their own business. That instance, you may have a business idea, but the market itself is something to consider and I believe that it is something incredibly essential that I have learn in my today's lecture. My mindset before that whether I have some strategy to make my own money, it is something that I can already use to build my own business. Which is wrong.

Furthermore, marketing possibilities can make or break any of our brands. We may use these possibilities to establish a positive image for our own business and drive sales by being creative and strategic.

In addition to this blog, I would like to share a specific task that we did today (February 23, 2023). My teacher did us an activity about that helps us to determine our personal traits in relate to entrepreneurship. He said that there are no right or wrong with our answers. After answering the provided questions, I came up with a 43 Points which is equivalent to the "Somewhat Entrepreneural" result.

With my result, it made me wonder and realized at the same time that despite of me having not enough knowledge about business, I still have the potential to become an entrepreneur. Also, my result makes me happy despite of me having lacking faith about my skills.

So, to any of my visitors in my blog, there's a little message to all of you. You have to keep an eye out and be informed. You can take your marketing campaigns to the next level by being proactive and capturing chances as they emerge!

My blog for today will be in relate to having your own Business Idea Blog. Now to begin with, it is stated on our syllabus that we will be having a pitch, which is done individually. I am honestly a bit nervous since this is my first time doing a Business Plan alone. Because, when I was on my Senior High School days, our Business Plan project was being done in a group. With that said, this is a real challenging task for me.

To begin planning for my own business idea, I thought that upon having your own idea, it does only focus about its high-tech and novelty. However, I realized that we must also focus on how it will become appropriate in the field of Business Technology Management. Meaning, we are not only providing our idea, but we must also find a way to gain money with it. With that said, I took a research and look for the most controversial field in which it requires more enhancement and development to help human in needs. So, I came up with the medical field.

Why did I choose the medical field? For various reasons, I believe that starting a business in the medical industry is a good idea. To begin with, there is an increasing demand for healthcare services, which indicates that there is always a significant prospective consumer base. Furthermore, many medical procedures and services have high profit margins, which can be appealing to aspiring entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the medical field is constantly evolving and progressing, with new technologies and treatments being developed on a regular basis. Which is why, I came up with a Medical Assistant Application as my business idea. Overall, I believe that the medical field is an excellent business opportunity due to its expanding demand, strong profit margins, prospects for innovation, and potential for social impact.

This short video produced by the PhilDev Foundation—a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting science and technology in the Philippines. The video was presented by my teacher during our class.

It tells a story about Dado Banatao who is a son of a farmer, and they lived in a rural area. This short film is honestly quiet touched me. I also lived in a rural area. I have to travel 1-2 hours just for me to arrive at school. When he said in the video that most of his friends or relatives did stop from studying just to work and help their respective families—and that is something I am noticing in my place, here at Bunawan City. I also feel intimidated by my fellow classmates. Where most of them lived in the city. I feel like I am outdated to every trend or any specific thing. There are so many times that I asked my parents to stop from studying and look for a job instead, for me to help them. And then, their response inspired me similar on what Dado Banato did on his journey. My parents keep telling me that every effort and determination I put while learning, even though the experiences are difficult, everything will be worth it once I graduated. Their lines also quite similar to what Dado Banatao said on the video, "The more we know hardship, it's time we learn success."

The film emphasizes the value of education, creativity, and community support in creating a better future for rural communities through Dado's journey. It was also fantastic because it motivated me to make my goals come true. I also learned that, in order to achieve my goals in life, I must constantly improve my skills.

I highly recommend for everyone to watch it.

3.) Farhan Qureshi

Farhan Qureshi is a likeable character who struggles with identity, familial expectations, and the quest of happiness. In the film, his journey is a poignant reminder that it is never too late to pursue your dreams and carve out your own unique path in life. In addition, I can say that Farhan Qureshi's personality attributes, such as the phenomenon of reflection, loyalty, and inventiveness, can all be beneficial in business.

His introspective tendency, for example, could be beneficial in a leadership capacity since it helps him to reflect on his own strengths and limitations and make careful decisions. His loyalty and emotional intelligence make him an excellent team member, and his ability to arbitrate disagreements could be valuable in managing client or business partner relationships.

Would you take the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Why or why not?

Today's blog will be all about Career Path. That question stated about is something that my teacher was tasked to answer me. Honestly speaking, I do not possess such confident and bravery in terms to that kind of path and I know that Steve Job's career path is not an easy one, however, I think I can manage to take the same path like him. With that, I must assure to myself that I will make sure first that I can face everything and take every chance for me to become a technopreneur. Just like Steve Jobs, I will never stop exploring new ideas and methods to help build new products and services to increase my company's revenue or in other words, I will always think outside the box and will not isolate my mind inside for me to think and formulate for a new and unique idea.

I aspire to be like Steve Jobs, a well-known figure in the computer and entertainment industries. That demonstrates that I should not limit my ability to try something new to help me build my skills as a technopreneur and to my future business/es.

Greetings! My blog for today will be about my experience on my first pitching. In addition, for its context, my pitching will be about the Medical AI assistant that I have mentioned within my previous blog.

To begin with, it took me 2 consecutive attempts for my teacher to approve my idea. At first attempt, my teacher half-approved my business idea. Unfortunately, I could not answer some of his questions which are mainly about novelty about my product since A.I. are already common in these days. With that, I learned that think thoroughly and plan properly for the business plan that I am going to make.

Alas, during my second attempt, my teacher finally approved my idea. I was so happy, and I am glad that my presentation went well. So, what I did was, I did point out the weaknesses of my idea and also provide its alternative function to encounter it. Medical assistant AI or my business idea "pinAI Nurse", in my opinion, is of paramount importance because it may improve patient care, increase efficiency, and reduce administrative costs. Medical assistant AI can help healthcare personnel make more educated decisions, deliver individualized treatment, and free up more time for patient interaction by evaluating patient data and automating chores. This has the potential to transform healthcare while also improving patient outcomes.

Whose character would you want to be? Why?

This was once a question that was given by our technopreneurship teacher. I was wondering, what does this movie helps in relate to technopreneurshhip? Does it help me to become a better technopreneur? Then, I realize that—Yes, it does. Now to answer the question, among those three characters in the movie are all unique in their own way. Each one of them has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, Rancho is arguably the best character and also the protagonist of the movie that I am going to pick because he possessed the values of individuality.

So, what does individuality mean? I took a quick research and it taught me that "it refers to the distinctive characteristics or qualities that make a person unique. It includes a person's personality, skills, experiences, beliefs, and values that differentiate them from others." Now, it leads me to another question, "does being differrent would really help me in my technopreneurial work?".

It took me days to fully understand the impact of individuality. I realized that it is truly important. With this, it is advantageous for technopreneurs by being an individual that possessing a set of unique skills, experiences, and perspective—you can easily seek business opportunities, make connections with other business or people, and more importantly possess an inspiring leadership style. It is a valuable characteristic in the business field, and I believe it is something that is essential as a technopreneur.

Today's Blog will be all about Personality Test. My teacher gave us an assessment in where we should seek for some websites and do some personality test. I was questionable at first after hearing this kind of task. Does personality have something to do as a technopreneur? So, I surf on the internet and saw a popular personality test. In which it can be accessed with this link: Free Personality Test | 16Personalities. Then, I took its long questionnaires, and my result is INFJ.

According to the result, INFJ is a personality type in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) system. INFJ stands for Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging. People with the INFJ personality type are often described as sensitive, empathetic, and introspective. I am honestly a huge, introverted woman, with that I see no hope for this type of personality to help me to become a good technopreneur. However, I was all wrong. I learned that being an INFJ can be advantageous in the business field or world. With this personality, I innate empathy, intuition, idealism, planning abilities, and creativity that can assist me in developing good relationships with customers and employees, making strategic decisions, staying motivated, setting and achieving business goals, and being competitive.
