At a young age, I would constantly be trying to find ways to make money. One of my favorite memories took place when I was in elementary school in Iowa. My favorite season was always summer because to me, that meant garage sale season. Every summer, my grandmother, mother, and I would have a huge garage sale to make a few extra dollars. Not only would I have my own section of the driveway where I would sell my own things, but on occasion, I would purchase things from other people's sales hoping to resell them for a higher price on my own driveway. Along with these tactics, I would also set up the typical lemonade stand of an eight year old. Though I never did make significant amounts of money, the stories and sales that I did make will stay in my memories forever.
I enrolled in ENT3003 because I felt that it would be beneficial for me to gain a new perspective on business. So far, I have found that the class offers the creative aspect that I love in business and I am considering applying for the minor.

You have definitely had an entrepreneurial mindset from a young age! Great story and keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool how you were able to buy things for a lower price and sell them for higher to make a profit. You probably got a lot of bartering experience from doing this as well. This must be a great memory for you. You should check out my story sometime. Keep it up! http://ksnihur.blogspot.com/2016/01/my-entrepreneurship-story.html
