3A - My Entrepreneurship Story

For as long as I can remember, I have been exposed to entrepreneurship. My father is a proud owner of a textile company in Luxembourg, but he is mostly involved in the real estate business and the stock market. Me, on the other hand, I started working as a kid in his textile company and I wanted to be there all the time. I enjoyed being a part of a team and I tried to help out as much as I could. I started helping out with very basic tasks like for example organizing shirts by colors and sizes. With the years, I started to interact with clients and when I became thirteen years old, I started working only on sales. I loved talking to customers and it became my mission to fulfill their desires. When I became older, I started to make some publicity on Facebook and on other social media. For my senior year, a friend of mine, who is an art major, came with an amazing design in an art class and I decided to use it in order to create our senior year sweatshirt design which was a complete success. We even ended up selling regular sweatshirts to the entire school and we made a huge profit which we all spend for our senior year prom. We bought so many fancy appliances, it was really a night we will always remember. After high school, I decided to move to Florida to pursue a Business Administration degree. Even though I was miles away from the company, I still help out advertising through social media and I have kept contact with our most important customers. 

As far as I am concerned, I would say that I enrolled in ENT 3003, because I have always been passionate about entrepreneurship. One of my goals in life is to be able to create a small textile company which can give me a passive income that helps me out in my everyday life. I would not consider this company as my main source of income. I basically just want to create it, because textile has been in my life since I have been a child. I see it more as a passion and as a hobby which in the same time can gives me a positive and important revenue. I hope that this class can give me the essential skills I need to build my company in the most positive ways and I hope to acquire as much knowledge and information related to entrepreneurship as possible. I have always admired CEO's like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and my father, since it takes a lot of character and courage to launch a personal company to any market.
