My Entrepreneurship Story

Throughout my life, I have been exposed to entrepreneurs and their thought processes. Since I was a child, my parents and grandparents had convenience stores that they used to run. As I got older, my dad got into real estate and is now a real estate broker. Considering that he has always been an owner of a business and someone who has control over how much he works, I have always been surrounded by business and entrepreneurship. Through my exposure to my family businesses, I feel that an entrepreneur needs to have a special skill set that allows them to think a certain way. I learned that it is important to observe and question everything, and analytical skills are crucial in order to understand the need of people and how to deliver that need through a business, as well as how to improve the business and consumer products and services. The picture I have attached is the logo of my dad's real estate agency.

I enrolled in ENT3003 to get a more official guide to entrepreneurship and to develop a full understanding of what it is about. All my knowledge about entrepreneurship currently is through observation and interaction with individuals. However, taking this class would allow me to look at entrepreneurship from a wholistic point of view with a basic understanding of what it is fundamentally supposed to be. Out of this class, I would like to learn how to think like an entrepreneur and the attributes of a successful entrepreneur. I hope to apply this knowledge in everyday life, ultimately allowing me start thinking like an entrepreneur early on.
