My entrepreneurship story.

      My grandparents were my first taste of entrepreneurship, before I could even make sense of that word. My grandfather on my dads side was an engineer, who later on in life became an independent contractor, with his own business doing house inspections for banks and mortgage companies. My parents took over that business when he passed away and continue to do that work. Growing up, my first "job" experience was through that business, helping with the paperwork and going out in the field with whoever was going. My grandfather on mothers side was a natural entrepreneur. As a handy man, I believe jobs are always thrown your way.. And although he wasn't handling a tangible business, people wanted what he had to offer. Whether that be cooking, fixing something, building something, hunting, fishing, you name it - he could do it. My step grandfather owned his own construction company, and spent his days with his head buried in blueprints and dull pencils. I'd like to think I got my zest for business from all three of them. All of them were extremely selfless, hard working, and got the job done no matter what. The older I get, the more I admire their work ethic and intelligence. They are part of the reason why I am pursuing business, and why I am here in this class today. By the end of this class I am hoping to have more confidence in myself as an aspiring entrepreneur with the tools necessary to grow and better myself in my career.
