In high school, my friend Anna's mom started her own small business. She opened a boutique clothing store in a popular area in our city. It had been her dream for a long time, and she finally acquired the time and financial commitment to pursue her dream. It was awesome to watch the store come to life after hearing about it through Anna for a few years. The clothing store became everyone's favorite place to shop, and we all loved being the first to know about the new arrivals and latest trends. Having a female role model pursue her life long dream was a true inspiration to me in high school, and it was really cool to see the community respond so well to the store. The clothing store has been open for a little over 8 years now, and it has been super successful!
I enrolled in ENT 3003 to learn more about what it means to be an entrepreneur. I've always heard the stereotypical ideas behind it - "you're your own boss" and you need to have a "risk-taking mentality" - but I'm interested to learn any specific skills or ideas I can use in my future career. I appreciate the idea of creating your own business idea and working around your schedule, and I'm excited to develop new strategies and thought processes that will allow me to think more like a real entrepreneur.
