3A- My entrepreneurship story

My birth is actually linked to entrepreneurship! Before my twin brother and I were born, our mother ran her own bridal shop called The Bride's Closet (the sign is actually still in our garage). When she became pregnant with us, she had to make the decision of whether to close her shop, her entrepreneurial baby, or raise us, her biological babies, in the back of the store as she worked. Ultimately, she chose to close the store. As a child, I assumed the right thing to do was obvious, so I never put too much thought into my mother's decision.

The older I get, the more her decision means to me. Starting your own business and then maintaining it is no easy job, as we all know. To close it all down for me and my brother's sake must have taken a lot of strength and love, and for that I am forever grateful.

I enrolled in ENT3003 because I am interested in pursuing an Entrepreneurship minor. I am interested in entrepreneurship because it is a path I have strayed towards all my life thus far. Even though it isn't necessarily as productive or efficient as a more traditional 8 hour work schedule, I always have to be working on something around the clock. Besides going out now and then, most of my social activities revolve around being in friend's company while doing some kind of work. I'm well aware it isn't  #goals, but when I get the creative juices flowing, I believe I am capable of achieving some level of success (as long as I put in the effort to match!) .
