My Entrepreneurship Story

      My entrepreneurship story begins with my mother who could be considered a serial entrepreneur. She is the co-owner of Trailmate, Inc. Trailmate is a trike manufacturing company that provides trikes to almost all age groups and offers customization for special needs too. The organization is located in Sarasota, FL and has recently started to globalize their product. They even have specialized trikes that can be customized to accommodate handicapped individuals.
      I was exposed to the business as an assembly worker in the manufacturing warehouse. I assembled coaster brake and tire assembly kits. There is a powder coating paint line that required multiple people to successfully operate and I worked with a small team to paint trike parts. I helped with filing business documents also. I learned a lot about the actual manufacturing that happens in the warehouse. I also learned a lot from my mom and her decisions as a co-owner of the business. It was my first experience in the real work world and I ended up making lasting connections to the other workers.

     Here is a picture of one of my favorite trikes it's the fun cycle.

I signed up for ENT 3003 because I wanted to understand more about how entrepreneurship is applied to work in almost all aspects. I hope to learn about the innovative ways entrepreneurs look at and manage their everyday lives and work environments.
