Tallahassee Paintball Arena is one effort of my Community
Development through Challenge idea.
TPBA will
be a place people can feel a part of their community. We will have military,
law enforcement, and local emergency services take part in daily activities to
help build a strong growing community through teamwork and exposure to people
they may never encounter. The need to combat here is the feeling of community.
This need comes from violence and the feeling of being lost. Nobody is
satisfying this need. I would say 35% of people in just this area (Tallahassee)
require this need of community.
My typical
target client/customer/human would be teenager/young adults because they are
going through a period of change and self-discovery.
I was able
to ask 3 coworkers and they described their current familiarity with their
community as nothing. They realized they just stay here rather than live here
in Tallahassee. They are not a part of something that unites them to their own
city. They feel they experience loss of community because they fear theft, they
fear for their lives, home should never contain fear. My 2 younger coworkers
feel this is a great way to engage young adults. Everyone is absorbed into Call
of Duty or other video games that involve shooting or fast paces scenarios why
not bring it to life and teach lesson along with it?
Reflecting
on my opportunity I am shocked to hear how distant people really feel in their
own community with others that call the same place "Home".
My three
customers may have been overly optimistic for me but I believe my full original
idea is still present. My idea of community growth is present with my three
customers and they understand the vision and the value of my goal.
Going
through the current idea I am reporting on and looking back at others I do
believe an entrepreneur needs the fine combination of staying firm to their
idea and adapting. We need to adapt to minor details but stay firm on our
vision
