My Entrepreneurship Story

Many of my family in Jamaica are entrepreneurs, whether it’s in the music business or the tourist industry. My Grandfather actually just sold his three-day festival to a Canadian millionaire, yet he’s already looking to start another festival, not even bothering to find out if he would enjoy retirement. I wonder if I should have told him from when I was younger that I would want to take over for him, would he have held onto it for when it would be my time to take it over? A business I watched grow from my first memories all the way to today, something he spent a lifetime on, would go from his capable hands to mine. I don’t think I could do it, maybe by the end of this class it would seem closer to reality but for twenty years it always seemed impossible. I hope this class could give me the confidence to think I could have taken over and made it my own.
