The person I shall be interviewing today is a former co-worker, Daniel Moore. Daniel always was an entrepreneur at heart from the time he started working until today. He works at a finance company which he helps head after many years and he has great respect among his peers. It is my ambition to command such a profound level of respect from my peers after so many years of being an entrepreneur.
The questions I asked were and his responses were as provided:
-How did you get started in entrepreneurship?
A: "I got my start very simply selling lemonade back in the day. I always ran a stand at the end of my street as my father would never provide me with much money to do anything.This taught me the spirit initially and the importance of consistency, hard work and even marketing to an extent."
-What would you say to someone wanting to be one?
A: "Never give up on what you love. I loved dealing with money, even other people's, from the time when I was a kid. So you could say my childhood ambition led me to where I am today and i could not be happier with the choices I made along the way."
-What should I try to get out of this course I am currently taking?
A: "Try to get a general sense of what it means to be an entrepreneur. Learn the basic characteristics of successful ones and try to emulate them as much as possible. I am sure the coursework will provide you with great curriculum to do just that as I see no other way to instill such values."
It seems to me that observing others and their successes is going to be the best way for me to attain true success. It will be necessary to research beyond the scope of this course in both during and after my time enrolled in it. I truly would like to be one of the all time great entrepreneurs so that maybe one day, people will try to emulate me.
