Assignment 3: My Entrepreneurship Story

My Entrepreneurship Story

Throughout my life I have experienced many entrepreneurs. Two of the main entrepreneurs in my life are one of my best friends (who is also my boss) and my father. My first experience with an entrepreneur is my father who owns an auto collision shop in south Florida. The name of my father's shop is Precision Auto Body. I grew up learning about cars, the collision business, and the internal working of being the owner of the shop. This experience sparked an interest in starting my own business in the future. The other experience I've had was in the supplement business that a buddy of mine owns. I started working for him about 4 or 5 years ago as a part-time worker in his warehouse in Delray Beach. My experience working for my buddy sparked an interest in a more specialized kind of business that would sell products geared more towards fitness products rather than providing a service by repairing cars.

I enrolled in ENT3003 for two reasons: I needed the credit and I am interested in making my own business. I'm currently working on developing a business marketed towards athletes, gym goers, and the everyday person who is unable to escape the workplace to find some kind of healthy food source. What I'm trying to sell is a snack I like to call Bulk Bites. Bulk Bites are an excellent source of good fats, natural sugar, protein, and fiber. I'm planning on selling them by batch of 25-30 at a price around $25. Right now, I'm selling them independently to friends and family to see how popular they are and to test the average consumption rate before people might decide to buy another batch. I currently make them all by hand and I look forward to continue making them for the source of extra cash for college.
