One day, when I was in middle school my dad told me to stop asking him for money every day before school. So, I found bulk orders of iPhone cases online and made a small business out of selling them to friends, family, and classmates. This was one of the first times that I was exposed to entrepreneurship. I had friends who previously tried selling candy or the old-fashioned lemonade stand so this was my first experience with entrepreneurship and business.
I enrolled in ENT3003 because I plan on opening my own private practice in medicine or dentistry when I am older. I think a self-employed doctor needs to have good entrepreneurial and business administration skills in order to be more successful with their practice. Hopefully, the critical thinking skills I acquire in this class will help me in my future profession.

ReplyDeleteHey Jose,
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool that you came up with a new way to raise money as a kid. I wish I had been that creative in raising money that way. I have family who have run their own medical practices and I agree that you need to have a business skills to be successful. I know a lot of people that are in hospital management that don't even have medical backgrounds, but are able to be successful using their business background. I think you're on the right track to having a success story of your own.
In my post, you'll find that my experience was not a successful one.

Hi Jose,
ReplyDeleteClearly you've already experienced entrepreneurship and taking initiative to finding a solution such as making money to sell Iphone cases is definitely an entrepreneurial trait. I too wish I could learn a little bit more about business given that my dreams of working in polar opposite careers such as Forensics and Fashion Design equally incorporate it. Here's my blog if you want to read a little more into that: http://entreprevision.blogspot.com/2016/01/my-entrepreneurship-story.html
