My Entrepreneurship Story

            Growing up, my father was an entrepreneur. He owns and operates a couple golf courses in South Florida. Seeing him be so successful while also being his own boss, having the luxury of working whenever he wanted, and calling all the shots made me from a young age aspire to be an entrepreneur. His business – any entrepreneur’s business – is an extension of themselves. My dad’s golf courses are totally under his control, they move as he does.

            I joined ENT-3003 because I want to be what my dad is, do what he does. Be comfortable financially and work on my own schedule. I also want to be more successful than him so signing up for ENT-3003 was a no-brainer.

            As of now I have ran two small businesses, one being a clothing brand – Outlying Outfitters - that I intend to make my career out of. Below are both my logo and the back of my most popular shirt.

    Nice, Jeffrey! I certainly agree that an entrepreneur's company is an extension of the entrepreneur, and it's awesome that you've decided to follow in your dad's footsteps. There are many benefits of being an entrepreneur, but also a lot of responsibility. Seems like you have the skills needed to be successful in your endeavors. I also followed in my dad's footsteps and it is a fun ride. Best of luck to you!

The economic opportunity stemmed from me watching the news and hearing my friends complain about the new rule. This opportunity can be taken advantage of by classifying the stores for the gas stations as vape stores or smoke shops Economic Opportunity #2 - Cryptocurrency at this time is not very fluid in terms of liquidating your shares and turning it into real cash. It still, however, holds value so I believe making a casino or any other business that deals with trading currency would be an extremely viable opportunity to make money. This opportunity came about through talking to my friend from Spain, who codes among other things. The use of cryptocurrency puts to use a non-fluid asset and it could perhaps turn into a credit card that - when you swipe - turns your cryptocurrency instantly into cash. Gov Opportunity #3 - There was a rezo...

Jeffrey Celebrating Failure

Something I try almost every week is a strict workout routine, something I have not followed through once. That accounts to many failures. Now my body weight fluctuates naturally depending on what I eat or drink and the excess calories are not offset by burnt calories from working out. I’ve learned that I need to better at planning. I need to make strict schedules and write motivational notes to myself every morning and night so working out is always on my mind and it consciously becomes a part of my life. Not that I am embarrassed by my failures but more ashamed. I am ashamed that I couldn’t keep to a schedule and be the person I want to be. I showed me that np many how mad I say I want something, I’ll never do what I need to achieve it without putting in the required effort.

Elevator Pitch #2

With this elevator pitch I tried to make it longer and include a few more features of the app. I prefer my hook in the first elevator pitch I did but I wanted to switch it up to be versatile - like the app. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GByju7FdQbI
