NextC.E.O.

         In earlier posts, I mentioned I was part of the Entrepreneurial Student Association at Temple University. Today we're going to have a meeting. This is the most exciting part of my week. I love just kicking around thoughts and then actually taking steps to make these ideas come to fruition (even if it is on a small scale). For example, I'm part of the events committee and we started brainstorming about what kind of events did we want to sponsor and also what kinds of events did we want to create. From that session, we got a lot of really creative ideas and we'e going to start moving towards creating these events and putting the ESA's name on it. I think this year's group is going to do a lot of great things and hopefully get a lot of different kinds of people involved. I'll keep you guys posted on what's talked about in this upcoming meeting...


*edit* 10/1/10 9:45pm. This meeting was definitely insightful. The 2008 winner of Temple's coveted Be Your Own Boss Bowl, Brian Linton came and spoke to us. Brian Linton created a line of jewelry called Sand Shack, which profits were used to take care of the oceans. He has currently opened started a new brand called United by Blue. In this new endeavor he sells clothes and for each item sold he takes a pound of trash out the ocean. Wow, profitable & socially responsible. Who can beat that? It is comforting to know that a Temple Entrepreneur Alumni is doing so well. It shows that success is attainable. I just hope that I'll be able to come up with a good idea and soon. I want to enter the Be Your Own Boss Bowl for this year, but unfortunately I'm am totally uninspired and with this load of work I have to do, I'm always thinking of assignment due dates than what I'd rather be doing. I just have to keep the faith, I know my Eureka moment will come eventually.
