Your Entrepreneurship Story



At a very young age, entrepreneurship has been a part of my life. I grew up in a single-parent household, and my father has his own air conditioning business. He started his business a few years before I was born. So, I grew up around a man who was always forced to be innovative, respectful, and ultimately a businessman. So, as a young kid I was taught how to write out receipts, the difference in the price of goods based on varying companies, adapting to new technology as products change, etc. Back then, I thought my dad was just trying to get me out of the house and keep me busy, but now I realize he was only trying to help me develop with a small businessman mindset.

I can say that today I have plans to become a real estate developer in the future. I would like to open my own condo complex. Also, I have thought about opening my own taxpayers' office as well. So, I enrolled in ENT3003 because I want to learn as much as I can about getting started. I want to get the most out of it because I want my legacy to be huge. I hope to learn what I need to look out for, good and bad, when starting a business, and then, I want to know how to deal with the competition.

    Hello Xavier, thanks for sharing your post! I really enjoyed learning about the impact your father had on your entrepreneurial story. It goes to show how influential our parents can be and how they can inspire us. I too also have looked up to my father and the practice he has been able to build and run himself.
    Good luck with your future career and in the rest of this class!

Forming an Opportunity Belief

Ever since I began high school, I have become consistent with working out at the gym or being physically active in general. Most people want to go to the gym, but do not feel access to the proper resources or mainly they do not have any outside motivation to go. The majority want another person to go with so it will help keep accountability. My idea is for each gym, starting with YouFit, create an app. This app will have a profile for each member of the gym after they sign up, and then there is the opportunity to add friends or groups to your personal account. This will allow for more interaction and an individual can find other gym partners. The world is moving fast with technology, so this is an opportunity to use technology to help with personal fitness. I am 90% sure that this opportunity exists. Interview 1: Diaunte, Junior, Age 20 1.      How often do you go to the gym? “On a good week, I will go at least 3 times.” 2.  ...

Final Reflection

Image
When it comes to this course the thing I enjoyed the most and the thing I am most proud of go hand in hand. It would have to be the elevator pitch video. I did not realize how much actually goes into the pitch. Also, challenging my mind to be creative with it has helped me grow. Since the beginning of the semester, I have grown. I did not believe in myself that I could have an idea and capitalize on it. However, going through this course made me realize that I have the capability to configure a business venture from start to finish. For those who choose to take this course in the future, I recommend really thinking in depth and in advance when doing the assignments. Your business venture could be only confined to these tasks, but at least you are able to grow mentally if the time is put in.

Identifying Local Opportunities

1.      Rays stadium debate used to be contentious. Now, it’s just stupid. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2020/01/31/rays-stadium-debate-used-to-be-contentious-now-its-just-stupid/?clearUserState=true In Tampa, Major League Baseball team The Rays have been going back and forth with the City Council about the construction of a new stadium. Trenches have been dug all around the stadium, but there are negotiations that the team might actually just move to Canada. However, residents around the stadium are not being informed about what is going on. The Problem: There is not a way of communication between all three parties within Tampa.
