1.I go to the gym quite frequently
  • Valuable - yes because I talk to lato of people and they share their opinions

  • Non substitutable  yes but not exactly
3. I have been to various gyms

  • Valuable - very important because I have seen many set ups and environments
  • Rare - not that rare since someone else can do the same
  • Inimitable - if someone has the time to do so
  • Non Substitutable - experience and exposure to other environments are essential
4. I go to the gym at varying hours 

  • Valuable - important to see if this issue occurs at all times or just during certain hours
  • Rare - a lot of people go to the gym at a certain time to so I would say it is rare
  • Inimitable - very imitable and not hard for someone to do
  • Non Substitutable - same as others, very good to have exposure 
5. I used to work at a gym
  • Valuable - very good to have experience in how a gym runs and what goes on behind the scenes
  • Rare - not a lot of people can say they’ve worked at a gym
  • Inimitable - one can apply but that does not mean they will get the job 
  • Non Substitutable - no it is not
6. I used to have a business mentor that taught me about business and gave me insights 
  • Valuable - the most valuable asset on this list
  • Rare - very rare to find someone who is willingly to share information
  • Inimitable - not very likely 
  • Non Substitutable - not enough books can teach you what someone else can in my opinion
7. Very motivated and always working towards something 
  • Valuable - I think on order to start up and run a business you have to be motivated and work towards it day in and day out
  • Rare - rare for people in our generation to work towards their goals
  • Inimitable - can but not many will
  • No. Substitutable - consistency is key and will get you places
8. University of Florida 
  • Valuable - education is important and very valuable
  • Rare - not really. A lot of people are educated 
  • Inimitable - with hard work it’s attainable
  • Non Substitutable - nothing can replace education 
9. I am a pilot 
  • Valuable - yes because it’s an extra skill I have acquired
  • Rare - not many pilots are also into business so yes
  • Inimitable - very hard to pursue but not impossible
  • Non Substitutable - no experience in business can teach you how to fly
10. I am also a flight instructor 
  • Valuable - yes because I teach students and I am able to read body language and see what makes people react in predictable ways
  • Rare - at my age yes
  • Inimitable - harder than becoming a pilot 
  • Non Substitutable - it has taught me more than anything else has 
I think after finding 10 good things that add value to my idea, I would have to say that having past experience working at a gym, being good with computers, having connections with business entrepreneurs that are already successful are the top things that I can capitalize on and expand

  1. Hi Jorge,
    I think you put together a very good list of personal ressources. I agree with you that the combination of these 10 ressources make you able to succeed in the best possible way. Though I think your ressources connected to you spending time at the gym and have been in various gyms are the most important for your business.
