There I was sitting at the stop light, windows down, music blasting and the guy in the car next to me yells out : Let’s sell some T-shirts.
For those that know me I am always enterprising to find a way to make things better, start a business, fill a need or just analyse how something could be done more efficiently . I remember back when I was 15 or 16 (only a few years ago) I was sitting at my friend’s house trying to think of logos for a t-shirt.
While at College in Hawaii (a few less years ago) I walked out of a surf shop in Waikiki and said to my friend we can do better than that, so we started a clothing company called Man Industries. Looking back it was more of a hobby but we garnered quite a following, placed our product in a few stores and nearly sponsored a team of boarders in AZ. While at Purdue (even fewer years ago) while getting my MBA, I developed an Idea for a Golf Marketing company tested a few ideas but eventually succumbed to other ventures aka work, family and applying for law school. Fast forward a few years and I am in my Second Year of a 4 year evening program and can’t shake my need to chase that american dream. Not becoming a slimy attorney, but to start my own business, be my own man, stake my claim.
It is about time that I tackle this urge and take action, focused to get results and make a difference.I have decided that is what I am trying to do; Make a difference and leave my mark instead of staking my claim. I want to be influential, motivating, inspiring. I want to be appreciated, I am a pleaser and now I need to be a doer.
What is it that you are trying to do?
