| dc.description.abstract | I likely have developed my entrepreneurial mindset through a seed that was planted approximately 11 years ago. While the steps I have taken into the startup world have recently materialized, I was given the necessary characteristics to take these steps when my mother purchased her own concession company years ago. As I sat there just a few months removed from my tenth birthday, I remember vividly my mother coming home telling me my family had just bought a company. My take on entrepreneurship at that time was that only the elite could become involved. From that moment on it could surely only be a straight shot to becoming a millionaire and having our town house become a thing of the past. Flash forward two years and my mom was still running the company from our town home while our equipment was stationed at my grandmother’s house. She was still working her job as a bartender at our local bar on the side as well as working in a doctor’s office 20 miles away. All of this was done while my step-dad was also working as a contractor, so the work day truly began at 5 when they both got off work. Even though I was only 12 years old, seeing my mother work 13 hour days on average stuck with me and is something I will never forget. | en_US |
