While attending the Entrepreneurship panel, I learned that most of the businessmen/women started in their college careers. One specific man, Garrett, said that you should make things that people need. For example, when he attended college he helped fix phone screens of his friends because they would always break and instead of going to the mall to pay around $100 to have it fixed, he learned how to do it himself. He just recently opened a phone repair shop in Towson. Another piece of advice Garrett gave was that you should always have two sources of income just incase one falls through.
Since I would like to go into logo and website design I found Garrett’s advice on starting business in something that people need to be very helpful and right up my alley. Considering that in today’s society technology is advancing and people are moving more and more towards online use, people that own businesses are looking for others to create a website for their company. I have made a couple designs of websites as well as logos for friends and work and will continue to network with others since this was advice given from every single person involved in the panel.
