Growing up I hadn't known exactly what my uncle did for a living, as few kids really do. However this past year I was able to see what he did first hand. He is the president and co-founder of United Tranzactions, which is one of the biggest payment solutions companies in the South Florida area. He had been successful working for a company that guarantees checks. Even though many of these went out of business due to lowered use of checks, he still saw a need for some form of payment solutions. He mainly deals with businesses now, making sure that a company can pay it's employees on time or can order any supplies they may need on a timely basis. He recently merged his company with another in 2010 and was able to liquidate a good portion of his shares in the company. Regardless of having a personal wealth of about 40 million, you would never think that was the case by the way he works just as if he started the company yesterday. What's truly amazing about this is that even though he may seem like a highly educated expert in the field, he actually didn't graduate high school! He learned by doing and came out on top. To me he embodies the entrepreneur's spirit.
The reason I enrolled in ENT3003 is because I have heard it was a very insightful class and that everyone I asked said that they truly enjoyed it. What I hope to get out of taking this class is a changed mindset as far as how I approach tasks and other daily activities. I think this class can give me a new way to look at the world.

ReplyDeleteIt's good that you had your uncle as a role model to look up to and follow in his footsteps. Your uncles embodiment of the entrepreneur spirit has fostered within you and I believe you will go on to be just as successful as your uncle.
