Forming an Opportunity Belief

Having a belief in something is generally something we all have and usually are very strong toward that belief in emotion. I certainly have that feeling on the way people view their life dreams and goals and how I believe in myself, but it is frowned upon because it isn’t “realistic” enough for society and my parents. I have true belief that anyone can achieve anything, if they have the right mindset and put hard work into whatever they are trying to achieve. I talked to a close friend here at UF about this “need” to get something they worked hard for but people consider the opportunity they were striving for was “unreachable” or “not too easy” to obtain. Well they applied for head of social media for a company called RentARunway and it is a huge company that is tough to land a job with as a student, she not only got the 1 of 3 campus rep positions, she got bumped up to be directing the social media for them through this campus. She proved all of the people that told her to not focus on that because it was “too hard” wrong. This is exactly the attitude that I believe everyone should have, otherwise you may be living your life with a lot of “what if’s” and that is regrets, I do not want to have any of them in my life. That is exactly what my friend portrayed and she showed my belief is true, you just have to work for it to come alive.

Entrepreneurship Story

In my life I get the pleasure to see entrepreneurship at its finest through my dads work. My dad created his own business of being a whole salesman for convenience stores across Long Island and the boroughs back home in New York. He made connections with another company called HLA and negotiated a deal with them to be able to use their trucks for transportation of all the stuff his clients order from him. He also started by just going to local convenience stores, Deli’s and smoke shops in the area; to eventually build up a huge client list and have a good functioning business for his job and as his own boss. The reason why I joined ENT3003 is because I have recently started to build up a start-up company, and although I have some knowledge on how to do this, I wanted to gain more insight on how to take charge as an entrepreneur.
