Short term career goals – Entrepreneur - Immediately after graduation
Establish website and business venture materials and in process of completing all needed requirements to
establish becoming a business. Gaining LLC titles, EIN numbers, talking with various artists, producers, club
owners, other business prospectives that would be involved in this industry. Finding out precisely who my
consumers would be and what are their preferences to things they would label as convenient. I’m already
doing that now, so main goal is to have the questions all taken care of by the 6th month after graduating. Have
a team of supporters ready to test and utilize the service for free test runs and promote the business in their
respectable parts of the country.
Long term career goal
Establish a 3rd party management company
In short, the college course taken from Full Sail University will give me
the insight needed to understand the functionalities and needed
knowledge to have, to attain what is needed to establish this company.

Elevator Pitch:
Knowing what your consumer
wants is key but consumer ideal
changes every decade if not every
few years. Why not take a page out
of the book from someone who
knows what the consumer wants?
Who knows what the consumer is
looking for? Who knows what the
consumer has consistently
expressed is the pressing issue for
them? Let us allow our knowledge
of the consumer collide and
discover what we can do to
encourage our consumer to feel
free, while continuing to be a
consumer.
Mentorship: Not seeking
mentorship at the
current moment but just
a sense of clarity and
direction with a level of
understanding needed to
be able to see where a
business interest can
take you with level-
headed players involved.
