From a very young age my mother always made sure I knew the value of hard work, implementing work ethic and professionalism into the structure of my childhood. My mother was a successful entrepreneur, opening her own property management company. Although the business was only active for about 10 years, it was her biggest success. It was incredible to see a business pick up from zero. Driven from day one, she built the company in all aspects with her skills and expertise. She was able to begin working the majority of the positions needed to sustain her order of work. As her clientele grew she could not wear all the hats. My step dad became site manager to the properties, my sister became her assistant, an employee was hired to handle the reception area and another the accounting sector of the business. After years of successes and failures, business consumed her and risk became an option. Introducing the company to an LLC position it was brought to a holt. Unfortunately, soon after the company had seized.
Why did I choose to participate in ENT3003? I had a great influence from my mother when selecting a minor. I myself hope to create something of my own one day. In hopes for such a great success, I thought that the most important part of living out a goal is your frame of mind. I wanted to learn the true principles of an entrepreneur.

Aviana, it looks like we are both children of entrepreneurs. I am not sure how many others understand growing up in a house where the highs and lows of a business are also your own. I appreciated when you wrote about your mother wearing many hats and being able to do all the jobs in the business. My father was much the same way and I have always felt that knowing all the positions was essential to running a good business. I wish you the best of luck!

ReplyDeleteHey Avianna! I have experience with a family run business as well. My father used to run his own construction business, so I know how rigorous and time consuming it is to keep up with everything that has to be done. Like you, I aspire to open up my own business and that's why I wanted to take this course. We both seem to hope to be successful one day. I am confident that you will get to where you want to be!
