My Entrepreneurship Story

I have been introduced to entrepreneurship by my dad because he has recently been trying to start a business. He has decided that he wants to flip houses for a living. In order to do this he needs to find a private investor to loan him money so that he can start purchasing houses. He named the business "Fire line Properties" and got the license to make it an official business. It is inspiring to see my dad interested in something and to then follow through to try to make it happen. He works on houses for a college housing company currently and he wants to change course to be his own boss doing something he really enjoys.

I enrolled in ENT3003, first and foremost, because I need business electives in order to graduate. However, I have heard a lot of great things about this class. I have heard that it is very inspiring, that you learn a lot, and most importantly that it is an enjoyable class. Entrepreneurship is a side of business that I do not know much about and I am eager to learn more about it, because even if I am currently pursuing a different field in business there is always the possibility of me wanting to start my own business one day. I used to think of an entrepreneur as someone who sells products for a living, thinking back to an episode of SpongeBob where the guy sells chocolate. However, it's so much more to that and I hope that from this class I learn about what it means to be an entrepreneur and also how to be a successful one.

    So great that your dad is working on starting his business! There's no age to stop being an entrepreneur. It's awesome that you decided to take this class because you know that being an entrepreneur is more than just selling something or owning a business, it's a way of life! There's a book called "The Startup of You" by Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn. It's a great read about ho to involve the ideas of entrepreneurship in all aspects of your life.

    First off the picture is super inspiring I even printed it out and hung it on my refrigerator. I find it so cool that your dad is starting his own business. What type of business is it ? I actually want to be a real estate lawyer, and once I save some money start my own business unsure yet of what type though. Your story is great!

    I'm sure it is very inspiring for you to be able to look up to your dad for having his own business. My parents own a business as well, and that makes me believe that I can also start something like that on my own. It seems much more attainable when you see someone that you are close to succeed at meeting their goals. Tell your dad good luck and I am sure that you will be successful for whatever you decide to do in your future as well.
