As early as elementary school I began to discover my entrepreneurial talents. My house was always stocked with candy which I didn't particularly care for but I soon found other kids liked a whole lot. This began my business of exchanging my goods for others goods come lunch time. However once this business was really taking off it was promptly shut down by nosy administrators.
While this was a temporary set back business picked up once more in middle school as gum became all the rage. At this point it was no longer a bartering system but real cash which could be used to by more gum. By buying the gum in bulk and selling to friends and classmates I could get all the gum I wanted for free and even make a few bucks on the side.
By the time high school rolled around I was very familiar with selling products to people and became the top seller of flowers for my soccer team. This meant the team raised enough money to buy all new kits which was a nice surprise for our team.
I enrolled into ENT3003 to not only fulfill a tracking course, but to explore entrepreneurship further and learn about it in new depths. I hope to see all the benefits of having good entrepreneurship skills and recognize problems as well as solutions to the world around me.
Travis, sweet post. I liked your story about selling gum because i had a guy just like you in my highschool. The only difference was my "dealer" sold a variety of candies that he carried in his backpack. He would stock up on Monday and only have snickers on Friday. I hated snickers. Anyways, I think you have some real potential with this field keep it up man.
