3A – Your Entrepreneurship Story
One of the first times I was introduced to entrepreneurship was by my mentor, Ms. Daphne. Ms. Daphne has been the owner of a hair salon for 21 years employing multiple individuals. For me, that was a very inspiring thing to see because she was one of the few people in my life who are entrepreneurs. It showed me that there was a way (other than the typical 9-5) to have a career and make a living. Watching her run this business also showed me the immense amount of time and discipline it takes to run a small business. Nonetheless, this was on of the examples of entrepreneurship in my life that has shown me the possibilities of entrepreneurship.

Hey Julianna,
ReplyDeleteI think it is really cool that you have a mentor who is an entrepreneur. Running a business for twenty one years is a long time and it shows her dedication, commitment, and overall success. I agree that this example is definitely proof that a typical nine to five job is not the only career path. I also agree that it is helpful and beneficial to learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship for any career path. Good post!
Hi Julianna,
ReplyDeleteIt's unbelievable how many people decide to open their own business. I consider myself to be a fairly brave individual, but I am not sure that I have the same level of risk appetite that entrepreneurs exhibit. Not to mention the amount of time that they have to invest in their business along with their money, which could include their retirement savings. Ms. Daphne must be doing something right, seeing as she has been in business for over 20 years. Great for her!
Hi Julianna,
ReplyDeleteYou're experience with Ms. Daphene reminded me of the many people in my life that are entrepreneurs in some sort of way - including my own hairdresser, Louise! She broke off from working at another salon and created her own business. I have never thought of her as an entrepreneur before, but now I realize that she totally is! Her actions of leaving a place that wasn't professionally satisfying show one common way people become entrepreneurs.
Good luck with your own entrepreneurship journey!
