Very Short Interview No. 1 - Week 3

My entrepreneur for this interview is the owner of "Yomii Frozen Yogurt," Michelle Wang. Michelle, and her husband own two frozen yogurt chains: one located in Orange City, Fl, and the other in Palm Coast, Fl. Combined they have been running their business for over 10 years. The qualities that make them entrepreneur's are that they started and created their own business, they manage all of the companies finances on their own, and they are continually working to grow and expand their company.

• What should my expectations be in this course?

• What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?

It means that you're willing to give a lot of hard work, that may often times not pay off. It's a learning experience. It's discouraging and encouraging at the same time. There are countless times I've been frustrated and at a loss of what to do, between my husband and I there has been a lot of hard work. 

• What do you think I should learn in an entrepreneurship course?

You should learn about the logistics of how to create a business plan, and the logistics of creating a business. You should learn about how to hire people, and the process of training them. You should learn about ordering inventory for your business and how to create connections and contacts.

Reflection:

I wasn't surprised about the logistical things she said concerning her business. I was there to witness many of the hardships she had when her business first started. She was definitely stressed, frustrated, and lost with many things even though this was her second official store. The thing that did surprise me though, is that she said that some of the hard work doesn't always pay off in the end. I think that's a reality check a lot of entrepreneurs might have to encounter. You can't just reach instant success, it's a very long road.
