I can think of several school projects throughout my educational career that have related to entrepreneurship in some way but I am going to share more of a real and relevant story. Throughout my late years of high school and early years of college, I instructed and taught middle schoolers how to play lacrosse. I would take one player at a time or I would do group lessons. Each would have their own price per hour. I would sometimes go to the players house with my portable net or just meet them at the local park across the street. This was my first sense of entrepreneurism and I really enjoyed helping kids learn the great game that I love.
I enrolled in ENT3003 for many reasons but I honestly just wanted to learn more about the concept, considering it is so broad. I would like to know more about running your own company and what it takes. Im hoping to learn things of that nature in this class. I would also like to learn about the success rates of businesses and some of the key comments necessary to become profitable.
Hey Luke,
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of your entrepreneurial story. I often volunteered to coach basketball in high school and looking back, I realize that I could have used my experience to provide lessons and actually make some money. I regret that I wasn't more interested and aware of the business opportunities around me. Your story is great because it's such a simple example of how individuals can use their talents and experience to be succeed in entrepreneurial ventures.
Hi Luke,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your early involvement in entrepreneurship and its coexistence with a sport that you love. I like how you would change up the lessons with the kids- seeing them singly or in groups- keeping it interesting for them and for you. Lastly, I feel like your reason for joining this class is something all students can relate to, and certainly things that I hope to learn.
When someone puts something they love together with their business greatness ensues. Your story tells me that you were happy teaching kids to play a sport. Even if you wouldn't have made any money then it still would have probably been a pleasurable experience for you, just for your love of the sport. Your ability to change your class settings and be versatile to teach the kids and make them learn shows you have a strong entrepreneurial ability.
