Idea Napkin No. 1

    My name is Christian Lawson. 

Skills/talents: Time management, Adaptability, disciplined, Collaborative, Problem solving.

My experiences include two-years of being an office assistant and six months of driving for a utility company. My aspirations is to get a degree in business administration and start a career in the front office of a sports organization. If I would to start my recycling business, it would  change my life. I would have to put all of my effort in this project trying to find customers and investors.

2. My service will be providing customers curbside pick-up that includes paper, plastic, aluminum, batteries, and glass.

3. I want to reach the people who are interested in cleaning the atmosphere and people that have an open mind to the idea of recycling. The people would want to reduce pollution, and waste disposals.

4. They will want to use the service because they care about the environment.

5. What sets me apart is the curbside pick-up that no one else offers. Also, nobody has my commitment for satisfaction for the customer.


I believe that these element do go well with the aspects of the business concept. The skills would help jump-start the business. If anything goes wrong during the process my adaptability and problem solving skills will provide help. I don't see there being any weak points because there isn't any competition for road-side recycling. To help find customers I will need to work on my communications skills to clearly and effectively persuade them about the benefits of recycling.

  1. This is a good idea but that start up grind is tough. You'll definitely wanna use as many resources as possible to build a network before you branch out. This idea is great and has huge value: Do you see it going beyond the Gainesville market? If so how do you branch out successfully or work in areas that might have some form of competition? excellent start and I hope you pursue this.

  2. Dear Christian. This idea has so much potential. I imagine this could be a successful business in rule areas where there aren’t recycling programs available. I still think if this was at least partly nonprofit you could be more successful. Just because not a whole lot of people want to pay for recycling. Jump starting this kind of a business is going to take a tremendous amount of time and resources, but is entirely possible.

  3. Hey Christian, I think that he idea is good and I also like how you condensed some of the material. I like you also want to work in the sports industry and I think a front office job would be insanely cool. Back to recycling, I think that a lot of people will want to participate in helping out the community, but it should not be too expensive. Great job with this post.
