3a My Entrepreneurship Story

My Entrepreneurship Story

My first entrepreneurship experience was when I was in high school. Clearwater High had a business program where I was able to do research on how to start a business idea and actually was able to produce some of the product. The project started with the class studying different episodes of Shark Tank. From that we learned that our product needed to either be completely new and unique, or it had to be the solution to a common problem. My team decided to go with the unique direction. We created a brand that sold cupcakes in little clay pots that were decorated with tiny flowers and succulents. Our unique contribution was that at the bottom of each pot were seeds to start your own garden with the clay pot. It was a great product and idea, however, it was not the most sustainable. It costed a lot of time and money and did not have a great pay out.

I enrolled into ENT 3003 because I love using critical thinking to solve ordinary problems. I am not a business man in any capacity, nor will I ever be, but I enjoy the process of thinking and how applicable the business mindset is to other aspects of life. I hope that by taking this class that I am able to use more of my senses and reasoning to solve everyday problems. I don't want to be a future entrepreneur but I do want to be more critical of my environment, and more efficient.
