1st experience
My first entrepreneurship experience was in the 6th grade. We were tasked with the assignment of proposing a business plan to start a company. My teacher at the time was a business man himself and started his own music recording company. The task required heavy thinking and time especially for bunch of sixth graders. We used various programs to make floor plans as well as a budget. Looking back, I would say that was the jump start that had me thinking of a different career path because I was only exposed to health before hand. From there, I've interacted with several entrepreneurs from friends who do hair to others who sell food. It's no surprise that in today's day the amount of entrepreneurs are higher than that of the past. In some way shape or form, we all want to have a piece of something that we can call ours and control, which goes to why I'm taking this course. My reasoning for taking this course is to first and foremost learn something not only new but insightful. One of my goals Is Life is to start making generational wealth. So I hope to attain knowledge I can use to my advantage in achieving that goal. Moreover, I feel like this class can provide skills and valuable life lessons through interviewing different entrepreneurs. It will also hopefully enable me to learn common skills and patterns of thinking amongst common entrepreneurs and owners.

Hey Dave, first and foremost great post! I feel the same way as you do about owning something and having the ability to call it your own. Generational wealth is very important in this day and age, as the cost for a good education in this country continues to increase at a steady rate (can you even imagine the expense tuition will be in 20 years!). In the lectures I've heard entrepreneurship is a discipline, so one of my main focuses this semester is to train myself to think with optimization in mind. I believe one of the best ways to learn these methods is by meeting other successful business owners and I hope this course provides us with that opportunity. Once again great post, look forward to meeting you in class.
