Assignment 3A – Your Entrepreneurship Story
Your Entrepreneurship Story
My closest encounter with entrepreneurship is
within my own family. My father has now for the second time since living in
this country that he starts his own business. The first one had to be closed
down during the 2008 recession, he was able to get back on his feet two years
ago and establish his company again. He has done it mainly by himself, in the
last year there was more costumers that were relying on him, but he was working
alone. The income he was making was just starting to be enough to rent out a
bigger space and he did not want to hire an employee, at the risk of problems.
I decided as his daughter to step up and help him, the conditions were that I would
get paid and find a way to work with him remotely and go into the office when I
was in Miami.

It does not sound that glorious but I added this class because it was under the requirements for the IA minor under the Innovation Academy. I chose this class over the other ones because it was an online class that I could do in off time when I wasn't stressing over my more difficult classes. That being said I do help to learn more from this class that I can transfer over to the business with my dad to be able to give him a better business model.
Hi Stephany! I am also taking this class as a part of the IA minor. I like how you want to benefit from this class not only for yourself, but also for your dad and maybe take some things you will learn here and help them apply it to his entrepreneurial adventures. I like how you included two pictures in your post, definitely helps visualize what you are writing about. It would have been great though if you put captions under your pictures to give them some context.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephany, I found your entrepreneurship story very interesting. Similar to like your father, my parents also own their own company and have gone through the same hardships when it comes to having to work with family. At the end of the day it is important to remember that no matter what happens, family will always be there for each other. I hope your father’s business will have much success in the future!
ReplyDeleteHi Stephany! I found your entrepreneurship story very inspiring. The first business for your family didn't go so well, but they didn't give up. Instead, they started another one and try to push through the hardships. One of the first things that we learned in this class was that not every project is going to be a success, but the most important thing is to keep going. I think it's amazing your helping out your dad in any way you can. Overall, I think you did a great job at telling your story.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephany! I found your entrepreneurship story very attention-grabbing because you mentioned problems you’ve encountered through helping your father in his business. Establishing a company is definitely a difficult task and many problems can arise, moreover, I believe your father is grateful for your help. Disagreements will appear here and there, but as long as you guys find a way to settle it through simple discussions, you guys can come to a decision that satisfies both of you. Furthermore, I really admire your motivation to help out your dad on his business in the future regardless of all the barriers you’ve already encountered. Best of luck!
