I did not know where my career was going to take me. Marketing was very interesting, but I was not so passionate about it. Management caught my attention, but I needed more motivation besides managing people to work together. Accounting and Financing entertained me because I viewed businesses in numbers which gives me a numeric view besides statements of success.
Furthermore, I did not know if the business career was for me until I realized that Entrepreneurship is a combination of Management, Marketing, Finance, and Accounting; put together where I can control the decisions a CEO would take where I can manage the decisions I think are correct on my own experience. I can connect my business life with my passions which includes: Music (DJ and play the guitar), surfing, nutrition, golfing, soccer, volleyball, philosophy, etc. I can put all of my passions together to create a business that I enjoy, and pursue my interests in the business.
I have a merchandise business in Amazon where I sell Soccer World Cup sticker collectible memorabilia which includes a very interesting consumer niche targeted to the World Cup every four years. I sold $123,000 in five months (March to July). I experienced the importance of customer service, time management (time = $), business plans, efficiency, hard work, sacrifice over personal life and especially the dedication and the desire to succeed in a business is what drives you to your accomplishments. I enrolled in ENT3003 because my Minor is Entrepreneurshiptruly thirst to know entrepreneurship skills required to be a risk taker where you play by your own rules. So far, I’ve learned the importance of Mindfulness and how your inner peace can devote your attention to many different responsibilities at the same time

Hi Sebastian. Wow, I would have never known that the opportunity was there to sell World Cup sticker collectible memorabilia. I have a sister in law in south Florida that organizes and runs soccer tournaments. Then I have a high school classmate that runs a league where I live. So, my facebook feed blows up during soccer season. I might have to tell them they are in the wrong type of business for soccer! You seem to have a large variety of interest and it seems from your post that you might have changed your major a couple of times. My advice to you, as a returning student after 20 years, is to keep pushing through until you finish, even if you aren’t sure if the degree is 100% what you want. I changed a couple of times and decided to start a career to make sure I knew what degree I wanted to finish. Life happened, I found a full-time job, got married, had kids, and never finished my degree. It would have been easier to return to school for a different major or even masters at this point then trying to finish my bachelors. You seem to be a motivated individual and I’m hoping that will keep you moving forward on finding what you want and pursuit it, and not taking 20 years like I did!
