I Do Believe Shark Tank : Just Start Your Business

There are many “Industrial Tycoons” nowadays, but few compare to some of the great Entrepreneurs many years before. During the year 1870 the oil company, Standard Oil, was created to help heat people’s home’s, keep trains running, and provide light. John D. Rockefeller, the creator of this Oil company, was one of the greatest Industry Tycoons of all time, another great industry tycoon is Ellen Degeneres. Ellen has done a great amount in a short period of time. Both of these people have done great things, and kept people interested.

But how did this South-African born entrepreneur make his way into virtually every technological industry on the planet? How did he become the space-traveling, futuristic car selling, loudmouthed computer genius we all know today?

I have studied the subject of entrepreneurship, business and management for many years. I have started and built several successful multi-million dollar companies from scratch. I have read literally hundreds of books and thousands of articles over the years, and taken a masters degree in business and administration on the

I am going to give a brief overview of my entrepreneur, Justin McEwen, starting with a small background of where he came from and how he ended up where he is today. Explain what made him become an entrepreneur, the paths he took, the hardships he overcame, and how he was able to start a successful business in the middle of a recession.

I have always been interested in “doing my own thing” or, better known as, entrepreneurship. In high school, I would buy T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats in bulk. I’d embroider little emblems on them and mark up the price by 100%. People at school would buy $1 shirts and pay $9 for my craftsmanship. However, I wanted bigger and better things. I channeled Andrew Carnegie in my approach to business: why just stop at my little venture when I could vertically integrate and market for myself? I decided to invest all my money in a new cause and thus, my own social media marketing company was born. The skills I’ve learned in starting my company is something that cannot be taught. I would relish the opportunity to grow and learn at an institution like The Stephen M. Ross School of Business that understands the importance of innovation and exploration.

Earle Charlton was not the typical entrepreneur. Scholars state, “Earle Charlton was the archetypal complete entrepreneur in his personality, outlook and actions. He was complete in his dedication in that he projected his interests and concerns beyond the enterprise to the welfare of his employees and the greater community (forward, Page 1). Unlike most entrepreneurs Earle Charlton didn’t just care about making money he got more satisfaction from treating everyone with respect and making everyone happy. By having this mind set Earle he was really successful when working with his business partners. For example when working with Frank wool worth and Seymour Knox Earle accepted everyone’s ideas, and learned to compromise so that they can get along and make their business empire work.

If you have your own business and don’t even know why you own it, then what is the point? I found this book to be very motivating. Not only can someone apply this to themselves if they own their own business or plan to own their own business, but anyone can apply this simple task to their every day life. Just asking yourself the question “why?” can motivate you that much more. You have to know why you are doing something in order to be successful.

So, to sum it up, it is just right for me to say that this book is very helpful to those promising future entrepreneurs and students like us would really appreciate this kind of guide for us not to screw up when we graduate. But of course, it is not just helpful to the students but to those who wants to move out of the poverty line and start making money for their living.

Entrepreneurship is one of the hardest investments to make because it requires more than just money. Consequently, it is also an ownership investment with extremely large potential returns. By creating a product or service and selling it to people who want it, entrepreneurs can make huge personal fortunes. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and one of the world's richest men, is a prime example.

A SCIENCE? 92603 KEN VEIT FIRST PERSON THE RELUCTANT ENTREPRENEUR

At the beginning of the course I had only had basic entrepreneur knowledge, I understood the traits, and the amount of thought put into a business. I understood a entrepreneur needed to be able to set goals and had to establish connections and business partners. I was actually lucky enough to have taken a entrepreneur class in highschool. Which taught me lots on how an entrepreneur business is started. It also taught me the required determination and hard work it takes to be a entrepreneur.

R&R R&R case brings up major themes that we will see over and over again in this course. This case also differs significantly from most of the other case you will read in this course as it provides a full story of an entrepreneurial venture. In most other cases in this course, the entrepreneur is faced with a decision/dilemma at the time of case. In these cases I will ask you to put yourself in the entrepreneur’s shoes and come up with a course of action that you would undertake if you were in the same situation. Turning back to the R&R case, clearly Bob Reiss appears to be a successful entrepreneur but it is worth digging for factors that may explain why he was

Taking this entrepreneur course has been the best thing I could do for myself. Not only did it grow my mindset, but it taught me how to focus and concentrate on meeting my goals. At the beginning of this semester I could not let go the negative self-image I had of myself. Since I have been able to reflect on who I am I am slowly able to let go of that past image. I now know that I am more than able to reach my goals with the proper mindset and skills. I have come a long way since the beginning of this course. At the beginning of this course we were asked what is most important in life, and when I chose myself I knew after that reflections that I was off to a great start. Putting myself first these last few months has been the best thing I
