The entrepreneur I talked to owns a art business in which she designs and creates different household products into beautiful pieces of art. From kitchen utensils, to candle jars and vases, she takes ordinary glass or stainless steel objects and adds stones, beads and wire to make these ordinary pieces gorgeous works of art and usually sells these at art shows or house parties.
What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?
"It takes something that I'm passionate about, an idea, and are able to make money from it."
What do you think I should learn in this entrepreneur course?
"How to stay focused on a goal... Learn how to work with other people towards a similar goal or end point. You need to learn how to read people, to communicate, to be aggressive when you need to be, and lay back when you need to."
What do you wish you had been taught in school before setting out on your own path as an entrepreneur?
"How to come up with a formula for an end price that includes my time in addition to the wholesale price of the product. I wish I had learned web design."
Reflection:
I realized that being an entrepreneur doesn't mean you're power or money hungry, or a business person- an entrepreneur can be anyone, whether it's someone who is a business mastermind or someone who is creative and artistically talented. Being an entrepreneur doesn't mean you're only one type of person, with a certain set of skills and interests, anyone can be an entrepreneur as long as they have a passion and are willing to work for it.
