Before the "adventures" begin...


Welcome to my blog!

A Little About Me

As a new senior at Elon, I am just starting to figure out who I am and the potential that I hold. My name is Tyler Rose, and I am a marketing and entrepreneurship major. Over the years, I have discovered that I am very passionate about being both successful and happy. As cliché as it sounds, it drives me to want to constantly better myself. At 21, that seems like a pretty good goal.

Why New Products & Branding?

I enjoy discovering new ideas and listening to other people’s opinions, which makes me a very indecisive person. People may assume that this “indecisive” quality means that I do not know what I want, but on the contrary, it is because I accept all different options. However, I decided officially to be a marketing and entrepreneurship major because it allows me to apply the creativity that I sometimes feel gets trapped inside my head (ahh!). I feel that New Products and Branding as a class will truly allow me to keep thinking creatively, as well as open up a different realm of opportunities that I never knew existed. I thrive to challenge myself; this class will challenge my critical thinking. And, hopefully, it'll help me figure out more of what I like so I can learn to make solid career choices (so that I am not indecisive about important life options).

When it comes to being innovative, I do not act as much as I should. My thought process is a continuous flow of random ideas; yet, I do not write them down. Maybe I think they are bad ideas, and maybe I think that other people won't like them. That shouldn't matter, but for some reason it does. The last thing that I did that was innovative was driven by the fact that I was bored: I wrote down a list of ideas that I would like to turn into a book someday. I am not a writer, but I have a lot of things going on inside of my head that maybe someone would find interesting. If I ever act on it, I’ll never know.

The Brand of Tyler Rose

Steve Jobs would possibly be a fan of my personal brand, as I like to keep everything as simple as possible. I do what I love, and nothing else. Simplicity to me is key- no one enjoys complications. The brand of “Tyler Rose” is passionate and whimsical, just like I am. This is also why I believe that I would be a valuable member of any team: I work hard, I listen to everyone’s ideas, and I love making friends with all types of people.

Although I may be indecisive at times, I can recognize what is the better decision and what will positively affect everyone in the long run. I do not slack off, I extremely dislike procrastination, and I enjoy learning about the importance of branding.


I Love People

I like to form meaningful relationships with my fellow students because I, simply, find every person flawlessly interesting. I absolutely love meeting new people and discussing things that I have never thought about before.


That being said... let the blogging begin!
