My first entrepreneurship experience happened when I was very young and still in kindergarten. My school cafeteria sold many chocolates and candies in addition to the usual lunch. Unfortunately for me, my parents didn't want me to eat my own weight in chocolate and refused to finance my escapades. I decided to try and make a few extra bucks and run a service to carry others backpacks to class for a measly 50 cents. Soon though, I ended up with over ten clients and had to carry eleven backpacks up two flights of stairs for five dollars. My business shut down that afternoon.
I wish I had an equally interesting story of how I ended up in ENT3003, but the honest truth is that it was required for my major, though I am excited to be enrolled. I hope to expand my creativity and entrepreneurial mindset throughout this course.
Short but direct: You have a wonderful tone in your writing that truly engaged me. What a great story, at least you made enough to buy a couple of candy bars that day! Who knows, maybe it's time to give your business another try here at UF. Looking forward to your other blog posts!
ReplyDeleteIt is Good entrepreneurial story ! It is easy to understand the story that what you have been experienced. I also have lots of similar experience with you. I hope you learned from many creative entrepreneurial in this course. Thank you for share good story and I really enjoyed your story telling!
ReplyDeleteThat was an interesting idea to carry all those bags. I can’t imagine trying to carry 11 bags, but good on you for trying. It was an impressive ability to see a problem that everyone faced though. Being able to see problems is very important in being an entrepreneur. Although you only have to take this class for your major I am sure we will both learn some interesting things.

ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I chuckled a bit when reading your story, because I could clearly imagine a kindergartner carrying so many bags that his face could not be seen. It's a great story. I too had very early entrepreneurial experience as a child. My bread-and-butter was selling drawings and candy. I agree with Kenzie, I would definitely pay you to carry my 30 lbs. backpack.
