Over my life, I have been exposed to many entrepreneurship
ventures. I have had various friends attempt to start their own businesses in
high school, most of which have failed, but hopefully many have attempted it
again. Recently, one of my very good friends has started her own bikini
business; popularity of handmade bikinis are on the rise. Many people are
loving these handmade bikini’s unique style, and their great quality. These bikini
businesses are often advertised widely on social media websites such as Instagram,
Facebook, and Twitter. The more people that “share” the page, the more people
find out about the business. Social media is a very cheap and quick way to advertise
a business. My friend’s new business, “Blue House Bikinis”, is set to open in
late January so anyone who is interested in quality homemade bikinis, check her
out on Facebook and Instagram!
I decided to take ENT 3003 because I want to sharpen both
my creativity and innovation skills. Someday I want to open my own law office
and to do that, I need to be creative and innovative. I will need something
that will make me stand out from the other law firms. I have been thinking
about integrating my law skills with another business, like interpreting. I am
able to speak American Sign Language (ASL) conversationally, and if I can help
these [deaf and blind] people with both their law and interpreting needs, my
business might stand out. If my business can stick out in people’s minds, I
will be able to become a very successful lawyer and business woman. Knowledge I gain in ENT 3003 might help me on
this journey.
Check out "Blue House Bikinis"!
Hi Courtney, I really enjoyed reading your entrepreneurship story! I also had a friend in high school who started her own business, and it was an interesting process to watch. I like the idea of unique, handmade bikinis, and I will definitely check out her business! Also, I agree with your point that creativity and innovation skills are the foundation of any entrepreneurial pursuits. It is so interesting that you can speak ASL; that is something I have always wanted to learn! Best of luck with your law career!

Very interesting post. Your comments about social media being a helpful tool for an up-and-coming business I found to be very insightful. I wrote my story about a time i tried (but failed) to start my own clothing brand, and part of the plan would've been to use social media. Hopefully this class helps you towards your goals. Good luck!
