I’ve been interested in entrepreneurship for as long as I can remember. As a kid in elementary school, I was always trying to start a new “business.” When I had friends over, my idea of “fun” meant running a lemonade stand on the side of the street. I was very serious about it: I made my friends come up with a name, logo, slogan. I thought I was going to make the next huge company.
To me, doing business was more fun than having money. So, I often looked for charities to benefit. In middle school, I came into contact with Kudu Klip, a social entrepreneurship venture. For some reason, I thought that I as a middle schooler would be the perfect sales person for them. And for some reason, they took me on. I began selling their product until high school, when I started a Cotton Candy business to benefit their organization. This was my first more legitimate “business.” Ever since then, I’ve had an interest in building and shaping companies.
I enrolled in ENT 3003 because I am interested in learning more about the entrepreneurial mindset. In addition, I have taken several entrepreneurship courses in the past and love the coursework. I am also working with several companies on program development and business growth, and am hoping to learn new strategies through this course.
