My Entrepreneurship Story
I may go a little off of what most
people have done for this assignment, but I do believe that originality is the
best feature of any person I meet. When I was about 10 years old my family and
I were sitting in a restaurant, I don’t recall what restaurant it was. As we
waited for our waitress to come back I asked my parents a question. I asked
them “why isn’t there a way to electronically order our food so that we don’t
have to wait on our waitress to come back?” If I would have gone any farther
with that idea than the table that night I probably could have been rich at 15.
Have you ever been in Chili’s, Applebee’s, Longhorn steakhouse, etc.? These three
places for sure have kiosks at every table that allow electronic ordering,
drink refreshment calling, calling your waitress, etc. On top of that many
places also allow online ordering for quick pick up, and many pizza places now
have online ordering and delivery. I chose to use this store because of how at
such a young age I thought of something so cool that could have made me
potentially millions of dollars.
I am enrolled in this class because:
1. It is required of my major. 2. So far, this class has seemed very
interesting especially the instructor being very humorous, the lectures for
this class really catch my attention. I hope to learn a lot about what it takes
to be an entrepreneur because one day I hope to own at least one small
business.

ReplyDeleteHi Keegan,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how your story wasn't ordinary. It was very different from my story. It is however, very relevant to the ideas of this course. We have the good ideas, we now need to learn how to take them and mold them into a reality. I did not even think about the fact that I have been dealing with issues of entrepreneurship for a large portion of my life. Every time we have an idea for a product or venture, we are thinking like entrepreneurs. I hope that we get to learn some new tactics on what defines a good business idea and how to then take that idea and become successful. I liked your photo at the end too, it made me laugh!
Hey Keegan,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this post because I eat out at restaurants that do not have the option to electronically order your food. I believe it is a better way to be more efficient and effective when ordering food both for the customers and the servers. I am enrolled in this class because it is a requirement as well. I, too, found a lot of interest in this class and cannot wait to what is in store.
