3. Your Entrepreneurship Story

A time in my life I was exposed to entrepreneurship, as odd as it sounds, was 6th grade. I believe that year was when SillyBandz had just started to become popular, and I didn't know it then, but the entrepreneurship I was about to be surrounded with tas just starting. I remember one day hearing that kids in the 7th and 8th grades were selling SillyBandz to everyone and making a large sum of money. The kids selling them would buy them for about $10 for packs of 50 and would sell them to others for $1 a band. They saw the opportunity of kids not being able to go to the store and buy the SillyBandz for themselves, so they bought them and sold them to make money.

I decided to enroll in ENT3003 because I want to both add an entrepreneurship minor, and to one day hopefully my own business. My dream is to own a hair salon that could grow into a successful chain. My local hair salon (in NJ) has 4 locations, and all are considered high-end salons. There aren't many hair salons near my home that have been that successful, since most stay with 1 location, so I would love to be able to open my own.
