Entrepreneurship
Story
Recently this past Spring semester I was exposed to, and partially involved in an entrepreneurial project in Tampa. My friend’s stepdad has recently bought a closed-down bar in Tampa as well as the surrounding property for future development. My friend and I both worked for his stepdad during the renovation part of the bar helping him re-brand the bar with a different style to differentiate it from others in the area. In addition to this he shared his plan for what he wanted to do with the concept of the bar as well as what he had in mind for the property development around the bar. By doing this we were able to meet some of his business partners as well as his manger for the property and construction renovation to learn more about the whole process of buying, renovating and re-opening a business. I enrolled in ENT 3003 for the purpose of learning more about the basics of entrepreneurship and be able to apply this for when I graduate. I hope to get a better grasp on the basis of entrepreneurship that will aid me in being successful post-graduation
Bar in Tampa we helped renovate
Hi Matt! I think your recent experience with renovating a bar is extremely valuable as a person interested in entrepreneurship. Quite a few years ago now, my dad and his friend opened a taco restaurant and I remember all of the preparation and work they had to put into it. It ultimately failed and closed down after a few years, but I hope the bar you were working on has much better success! Any experience in starting a new business has worth, as you can use that knowledge in the future.
