Husband M, son K and I went to a community presentation earlier this week featuring 7 local entrepreneurs. They each spent 15 minutes talking about their personal experiences and on how they got started in their businesses. We learned we are not entrepreneur material. These people have boundless energy and motivation.
However I did enjoy listening to their stories. This one young woman ended up starting her own auto repair company. Her first degree was in psychology and she became one for a few years. Then she studied some more and got her masters degree in Human Resources. It was when she was home on her 2nd maternity leave that she decided to go to trade school to study auto repair. She had a very clear idea on what is needed to have a successful business, what leadership means, on being mentally ready and so on. Well, she was clearly a superwoman!

I always wanted to start my own video game store, but I don't think that will ever happen.
Good for her, always great to hear of successful people. Hugs, Valerie
Without even attending, I know I'm not entrepreneur material! LOL...
Sounds like a very inspiring talk! I think it requires a LOT of motivation to become an entrepreneur, and certainly better decision making skills than I have! x
I don't think I'm cut out to be an entreprenuer either. I just don't have that level of energy. I barely have that level of commitment. But they do have some remarkable stories.
I would love to be an entrepreneur. I'm also amazed by their endless energy and motivation. She sounds like an amazing woman and she did the right thing with the skills she acquired over the years :)
Have a fabulous day!
Lots of hugs,

Very interesting and inspiring.
wow, that is amazing,,
What an inspiring stories they must have been! I don't think I have what it takes to be an entrepreneur either, but it's wonderful to hear about people doing well!
That is amazing! I'm totally in awe. I might just add, no one would want me working on their car:)
How intriguing! I have a singular lack of motivation!!!
Wow, that woman is amazing. And yes, I am not one of those entrepeneurs either. I would say Alex is though. lol.
