One time in my life that I can think of when I was exposed to
entrepreneurship was not from an idea I had and wanted to create or from
watching an entrepreneur speak, but rather from watching TV. Particularly,
watching Shark Tank, this is a show where entrepreneurs go on to pitch their ideas
or products for wealthy investors to invest in. I actually got into watching
the show because my family and I were watching one evening and my mom had
recently bought the product that was being presented on the show. Since my mom
had it, I was able to really see the use of it, it was a sponge to wash dishes,
and I remember thinking that it was such a simple idea. From watching that
show, season after season, I really think it showed me how people can solve
simple everyday problems and create something successful. While I don’t have my
big idea just yet, watching others present and talk with the sharks on the show
has taught me a lot about being an entrepreneur.
I enrolled in ENT3003 to just learn more about entrepreneurship as
a whole. Not really that I have any big idea or something I want to create but
just to get a feel for what is it like to be a successful entrepreneur incase a
situation arises in the future when it would benefit me. I am excited to hear
other people’s big ideas, and see what it takes to be an entrepreneur. I also
think I will enjoy the books I’ve chosen for future assignment, those too will
help to teach me what it takes and how to handle being an entrepreneur.
