I have always been an entrepreneur since I was a kid, selling random stuff, trading Pokémon cards, helping dad to make some extra money and doing whatever I can to make that extra cash. My family has been involved with business since I was a kid, and I grew up watching my dad and my brother working hard and building their own legacy so that really pushed me forward since I was a teen to always give it my best to make sure I can be as successful as my role models and even more.
I started my first business when I was 19, and It was a real challenge at the time because I didn't know how to do much, but having good mentors really helped to get me on the right track.
I remember my dad used to smoke cigarettes and I really wanted him to quite so I have done a lot of research about Vaping and electronic cigarettes like: where to get them? how to operate them? and what they cost ? and I ended up helping him partially quit his bad habit using a simple vape device.
Since that day I knew that I wanted to be a part of a new growing industry with a lot of potential. I found a great location, I signed the lease, I got all the licenses needed and then I opened my shop doors and I have been in business since then with 2 operating locations now and 1 extra location coming this summer. I had weeks with more than 70 hours of work along with my classes, I had many challenges and problems come my way, but I never gave up and I learned more and more every week.
I am in this class because I want learn more about being a successful entrepreneur, I want learn the right way to look at opportunities and how to take advantages of them.
In this class I am not going to include my business because it is already operating. I am going to find another business idea and run with it, but if anyone needs any help with your ideas that I can help with please ask and I will be more than happy to share my experience with you.
Thank you for reading.

George, I really enjoyed this post. As soon as I saw Pokemon in the first paragraph I was like, "I need to read this story right now." Also, you having your own business is awesome, and wanting to find a new idea and run with that in this class shows your entrepreneurial spirit. I love it. Only thing, I'd fix some of your grammar mistakes in the third paragraph. Other than that, really fun read and keep it up. Cheers!
