Assignment 3

My Entrepreneurship Story



For this exercise, please think of a time in your life when you have been exposed to entrepreneurship and tell us about that experience. Perhaps you led some new project in middle school? Perhaps your parents are serial entrepreneurs? Perhaps you once met a cool entrepreneur and can share some insights with us about that meeting?
I have been exposed to entrepreneurship ever since I was a little kid. My mom is an entrepreneur and owned her own boutique. She started her own business selling women’s designer jewelry and accessories with her best friend. Through her company, I have seen what has worked and what hasn’t worked first-hand.



Second, I would like you to discuss why you enrolled in ENT 3003 and what you hope to get out of the class. Please write however much you would like. Please be sure to include at least one image with your submission.

I enrolled in Principles of Entrepreneurship because I have the vision to lead a group of people and own a sports facility. The sports facility that I want to own would be for individuals who could not afford to pay for yearly memberships such as the YMCA, LA Fitness, You Fit, and etc. My vision is to allow them to stay out of trouble by taking them off the streets and giving them a place for peace to play. I hope to learn the processes that I need to become an entrepreneur. I also hope to understand how to map out the plans that I need to start up my own business.

  1. Hey Cameron, thank you for sharing this! After reading your post, I immediately thought of my mother and aunt (her sister) who have been thinking of opening up a beauty salon in Georgia after I graduate college. My aunt, who dropped out of college, has created a printing business from the ground up and it is still an incredible success today. It is this passion that she has consistently shown in her business that I hope to have deep within upon opening my own company - similar to you.

  2. Hi, there! I’m fascinated by the story of your mother being an entrepreneur. You’ve been exposed to first-hand experience that other people have not, and that can be very useful for your intended career path. Speaking of which, I love your idea for a sports center for people that are not able to afford a membership to an already established fitness center. Since you already discovered your prototypical customer and are aware of their need, have you thought about how you’d make the cost of membership lower than the other options?
