My Entrepreneur Story

I would have to say my family shows entrepreneurship by my father taking run down mechanics such as cars, boats, and run down equipment and fixing them up. Building up cars from scratch. For example my dad bought a run down Corvette for a couple hundred dollars and fixed it up to a nice running and reliable vehicle, sold it for more than he put into it to make a decent profit.
My step mother is also very crafty. She makes a small little profit from selling jewelry she makes her self at flea markets and through family and friends. She also makes kitchen items like potato pouches which heat up potatoes to perfection. She could honestly make a profit from a lot of her skills to remodeling run down homes to making quilts for grand babies.
My mother is an excellent backer who has provided family and friends with her delicious cakes, jam, pastries, and other deliciousness in life. She never sells her baked goods but she has been told a countless amount of times that she should open her own German bakery or even a restaurant because her skills don't end at just desserts.
For myself I have found a liking to fixing up run down furniture. For example I bought a shoe rack that was pretty run down for about 15 dollars and was able to fix up and could have sold it for way more than 15 dollars.



Why am I taking ENT 3003? Well it is required for my degree which I'm sure most people in business are aware of. But also it's interesting to learn about how to build on something that people are good at and to make a profit. We see people starting businesses to succeed or fail, we learn about what we think people want verse what people need and how to build off those wants and needs to make a business that strives. Hopefully this class will help me be successful if I ever decide to build off one of my skills or people I surround myself.
