Your Entrepreneurship Story

        I have been around entrepreneurship my whole life starting with both my grandparents as well as my father, they have all started their own companies. My grandpa from my mothers side has a liquor factory and a safari because he loves animals and my grandfather from my dads side has a plastic company where they manufacture tubes along with other plastic items. My father left his birth country of Ecuador when he was 22 to go to college in Mexico and from there he ended up here in Florida and started his own publicity company. He made publicity for a Mexican airline as well as a few other corporations, after he did that for a few years he moved back to Ecuador and started his own production company. The production company has been doing very well and they are now producing Spanish TV shows and selling them to Netflix. I as well have started up two companies in my time, one was here in Gainesville where I went out and invested in a press to print unicolored designs on shirts and sell them to frats and sororities. The other company is brand new, it has only been running for about 7 months and is called R&R LLC because I started it with my dad and both our names start with an R, it consists of selling airplane parts from here to the Ecuadorian military. My father met some people that were interested in Ecuador and I know how to get the parts for a great price here through my girlfriend because her dad owns a private jet company so he is helping me out as well. We are hoping to expand to other countries soon, our next target is Panama we are confident by the end of the year we will have them as another client. The reason I joined this course is because entrepreneurship is such a wide topic I believe learning from as many peoples experiences and advice can only help and not hurt. I am excited to see what I get from this course and am looking forward to the rest of the semester.
