Very Short Interview No. 1

The entrepreneur I decided to interview was my parents' friend, Scott Hill. He runs his own interior design business. He's done a lot of work at my house, and re designed my brother's room as a gift. Scott is what one could call a "self made" entrepreneur. He did not go to school trying to learn how to be an entrepreneur, it just sort of happened to him. He also knows what it's like to have success and failure, and his perseverance is a true testament to his own "entrepreneurial mindset." 

I asked Scott the following three questions and these are his answers:

1. Did you ever take a class in or about entrepreneurship?

No. I took classes on business, networking, and business development but nothing specifically about entrepreneurship.

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

Making sure to get foundation and tools needed to be successful before going out.

Make sure you learn to have a good foundation and the tools to be successful before going out and starting on your own venture.

3. Is there anything you know now or you wish you had learned before setting out on your own path as an entrepreneur? 

Nothing. I don't wish anyone had taught me anything before I started out.

I learned that it is possible to be successful in entrepreneurship even if you don't see it in the future for yourself in college. I found it almost comforting that Scott hadn't gone to school to be an entrepreneur, yet he found success regardless.
