My Entrepreneurship Story
I have always been exposed to entrepreneurship, as it has been my dads main source of income for most of his life. During college he went to auctions to buy used cars and then flipped them for a profit. After college he started a bi-weekly newsletter in New York listing nearby foreclosures. He then went to wall street for one day but decided that it wasn't for him, and instead used his accounting degree and interest in finance to start his own finance business dealing with account receivables. It is very online based and flexible which allows him to work from home. This was cool as a kid because he could take our family on vacations a lot easier and was around to spend time with us frequently.

That is very cool your dad has been so involved in flipping and even relied on it for your family's income! I flip items on a much smaller scale, usually books and small electronics. Thats neat that the job he ended up creating for himself allowed him to schedule his life better, and even had benefits for you!

Great story Alex! I've always been particularly amazed at people like your Dad who clearly just have a knack for entrepreneurship and it doesn't really matter what they're actually doing, they always find a way to be successful.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I'm not a business major here at UF but I think you made a great choice coming to UF to study that. I'm sure you'll be provided with the tools necessary to make it all happen for yourself!
Also, here's the link to my own story:

Our stories are quite different, but my Dad has also been very influential in my entrepreneur endeavors. Glad to have that in common!
