Ever since about four years ago, my father and stepmother had hopes to form their own restaurant in the heart of St. Pete, Florida. However, this deemed to be a very risk-filled challenge considering they both had full time jobs. Also, another challenge arose when they discovered that they needed a building and resources to get this restaurant started, which were two things they did not have. They only way for this idea to work out was for one of them to devote all of their time on this idea rather than try to juggle two jobs at once, which is what my stepmother did. This was a large sacrifice but I realized how admirable it was to take such a big risk to do something that you love while making the world a better place. Ever since I bared witness to the determination I thought that I would take some classes at the University of Florida and educate myself on what it takes to be a professional in business who is also independent on their own. I also wanted to measure the risks and rewards of what being an entrepreneur entails and what affect this course may have on my path.
Hey Jared, I really enjoyed reading about your entrepreneurship story of how your father and step-mother started their own restaurant. It truly takes a lot of courage to do what your step-mother did and leave her full time job to work full time on achieving their dream. That really is admirable and something that many others would not be willing to do. Great job on your post!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your entrepreneurship story. My father and step-mother were also in my story. It is interesting to see that from someone else as well. It sounds like things worked out well for your stepmother and father. I assume the photo is of the restaurant they own, but can't be sure. If so, it looks like a nice little place.
