Having grown up in a house where my dad is an attorney and my mom works for a law firm, I had never really been exposed to true entrepreneurship until recently. That was until I went over to one of my friend's houses whose dad's entrepreneurship fascinated me. His dad is actually a doctor and runs a walk-in clinic, but on top of that owns and operates several gas stations and recently purchased a CBD farm. Furthermore, their house was filled with miscellaneous collectables and antiques that he had gathered over years of attending auctions, trade-shows, etc. From the countless pictures with George Bush, to the stuffed bear that greets you at the front door, and the stories of how a doctor procures a CBD farm all enlightened me into the various meanings of entrepreneurship.
The reason for enrolling in this class was as I said before I have never really been exposed to the true meaning of entrepreneurship. I always had an idea in my head of someone who starts a business that becomes a billion dollar company but I'm realizing it is much more than that. Moreover, I somewhat see myself embodying an entrepreneurship spirit and I'm hoping this class will prove that to be true.
Hey John, that’s very fascinating that your friends’ dad owns his own practice as a Doctor and is able to also own and operate several gas stations and also own a CBD farm. He sounds like a very smart and successful man. I think that buying and owning a CBD shop is a great opportunity for extra income, because it’s becoming recently popular in the market.
ReplyDeleteWassup John,
ReplyDeleteYour story is very interesting and relatable being an entrepreneur never really crosses one mind until they see it and for a true entrepreneur who sees someone else doing it and gets excited is destined to be one. Even though my first experience was from one of my parents I still had the same curiosity as you saw your friend dad.
