Idea Napkin 1

Idea Napkin 1

1.
I am a very ambitious blind individual that wants to play a part in changing the world! I want to see the lives of people around the world transformed forever. I am a great speaker, and I love connecting and meeting new people all the time. I personally believe that being relatable       to all walks of life is a great skill, and I truly believe I am very good at it. I have a ton of experience with blindness, considering that I am blind. Also, I attended a blind boarding school all throughout my high school years, as a result I have developed many long lasting friendships. This business will play a huge roll in my life, because the business is based on the life that me and so many other blind individuals live. Who better to find the solution to a problem than the people who have the problem.

2.
I am offering my customers services that will create blind advocacy  and employment.
First, I plan to create a board of successful blind individuals who are willing to speak to the public about the abilities and limitations of high functioning blind people. Society has it's perceptions of what blind people can and cannot do, and it is up to us to change these perceptions. We will speak to businesses, high schools, colleges, and other entities to spread the true gospel of blindness. Second, I would like to create another board of blind individuals that will be assigned to teach the parents of blind children how to raise them in a way that allows them to grow up and achieve the full potential that their lives has to offer. Lastly, I would like to create a networking group of blind professionals that will allow up and coming young  ambitious blind people the opportunity to get their foot in the door in a career that intrusts them.

I am offering these services to ambitious blind individuals, as well as parents raising blind children. Large cities in the united states will be my primary focus, because most of the time blind people have specialist doctors for their eyes, and these doctors mostly reside in large cities. The age of our clients will very, although the majority of them will be young, between the ages of 18 and 28. Since this will be a nonprofit, the income of our clients should be a non factor.

4.
Customers will care about this service  because this solves a huge problem in the blind world. Someone who is blind created something that will tell the truth about blind people. As of right now only minor advocacy programs exist. Non of them are advocating to see blind engineers, lawyers, business men and women, etc. Most advocacy organizations are pushing to see blind people get jobs that pay them minimum wage. We are capable of so much more than that!

5.
I believe the one major thing that sets us apart from everyone else is the fact that this is being created by someone who experiences the same exact problem day in and day out. Other organizations have blind representatives, but the majority of the organizations were not created by people who face the same problem as these blind people. Also I would like to create a culture in our non profit that promotes having a great time in every situation. We will be fun, modern, innovative, passionate , and hard working all the time.

I believe that all aspects mentioned above bit together very well. First, my skills and experiences work very well with this business idea. I will be speaking a lot, and the experiences I have had in the past with blind individuals allows me to have a general idea of what their exact needs are. Also, the ideas of young, hard working, and innovative really go together well. I believe that young blind individuals will come into this organization with a chip on their shoulder, wanting to show the world what they are capable of!

  1. Dear Austin. What a great idea! Connecting blind people with blind professionals could defiantly provide these people with the insight they need to further their careers. Who better to create such a program than you? I imagine you would provide much more motivation, that could help inspire blind people to create a change. Rather than someone who doesn’t understand what being blind is like.

  2. Hey Austin, great stuff! Customers would care about this service. Creating this advocacy creates a initiative for the blind. I think you experience with this will help finding customers because you know what to say, and you know how to help. Your motivation to help is inspiring. This is a really good idea and I hope you keep pursing this opportunity.
