My Entrepreneurship Story

How I first got involved with Entrepreneurship was when I studied abroad in Ireland in Fall '14. It was my first semester of actual college and it was infused with a healthy dose of exposure to a number of different ventures. Many of these ventures were startups, hatcheries and existing corporations.

All of these different encounters gave me a different lesson to learn about being an entrepreneur, one talked about how they had to deal with skepticism; while another showed us they marketed themselves and took advantage of their unique geographic position in the world.

Keeping along this theme is the reason why I enrolled for this course, I did it because it was required for IA and I know it will help me in the here and now with my venture. The more information I get on how to be an entrepreneur, the better my venture will do in the next coming years.

I think it's really neat that you were able to travel to Ireland and you came out with a bunch of lessons and experiences. I think entrepreneurship is a vital part of life and self-sufficiency, so I'm glad you were enlightened. I hope you enjoy your semester and the rest of this class!

I enjoyed reading your entrepreneurship story, Michael! A internship in Ireland sounds like an incredible experience. The things you did experience and learn will always be invaluable to you. I feel that traveling, and just learning about different cultures in general is one of the best parts of life. It very much expands the mind and sometimes even opens opportunities. Thanks for sharing this, Ireland is definitely on my list of places to visit!
