Your first elevator pitch was pretty solid. You addressed what the problem was through your real-life example and explained how your product would fix the problem. There's only one suggestion that I think would be beneficial for your future elevator pitch assignments. Pryor talked about avoiding talking about yourself too much so I think avoiding the use of "I"s and instead going more in-depth about the markets your product would be targeted towards and the added benefits for those target markets specifically would greatly improve your future pitches.

At the beginning of the semester, I followed my plan for a couple of weeks, however, I ended up constantly putting it off and not achieving my original goal I set out. It took the coronavirus outbreak and gyms closing to force me into a better habit of running daily. 2) I learned that the most important thing to do when setting a goal is to make sure you start of strong. Looking back, if I had possibly run for consistently for the first month then I would have most likely accomplished my goal. 3) I think that not reaching my goal just showed myself that this is something that I need to try harder at and really force myself into doing. I think that not reaching your goal or failing at something only makes you a better person, especially if you are able to ...
