Business 283

It has been a pretty good week so far. I have really all of the readings and videos thus far. My $100.00 project was going pretty well. I was able to paint a few houses this week. I feel pretty good about the project because I have already reached my $100.00 mark. I thought Erick’s story was very good. I think that most people whose family owns a business think that they will go to college and eventually take over without having to work very hard. I think Erick’s s story was the exact opposite. Erick was planning to attend college until his father told him that his company lost one of its biggest clients. Erik could have just gone to work and tried to help his father build the company from the bottom. Instead Erick decided to but twenty percent of the company. To me, that showed that Eric had an entrepreneurial mind at a young age. Erick was able to work hard and build the company into a very successful company. Erick talked about-facing failure head on. He said that it was very difficult to do in front of his employees but he had to push through to get the company where it needed to be. I think Mark is a great example of what an entrepreneur should be.
