My Entrepreneurship Story

I have been exposed to entrepreneurship from an early age starting with my grandfather, Stanley.  He lived until he was 86 and was an inspiration to many people, including myself.  My grandpa was not a serial entrepreneur but he did start his own business after getting out of the Navy.  What I admired most about him was his ability to combine mechanical parts and create or fix any device that someone needed.  Below is a picture of him riding bumper cars, which was very similar to his normal driving habits.

I am taking ENT 3003 because I admire entrepreneurs and would like to improve on my entrepreneurial skill set in order to open my own business one day.

  1. I enjoyed your post! It is vey inspiring that you want to follow in your grandfather's footsteps. I also like how you said he "wasn't a serial entrepreneur but did start his own business." Personally, I think that entrepreneurship isn't just about owning lots of businesses, but having one that is well run and successful. Great job!

  2. Very good post! I am sure your grandfather was a very hard worker and you will be just like him. Maybe you can show him a few things after finishing this class!
