3A - My Entrepreneurship Story

Welcome to my blog! 

My name is Nick Lorenzo and I am an undergrad business student at UF. I am currently studying and interning abroad this semester in London, which is something that will definitely impact my blog posts this semester! Overall, I do not have as much personal entrepreneurial experience as I would like, however, lately I have dipped my toes in the water so to speak. In order to fundraise for my study abroad trip this summer, I decided to sell as many of my family's and my own unwanted belongings as possible. This process was actually a win-win for me, as beyond making money, I was also inspired by Marie Kondo's Netflix show to declutter my life. As a result, working through this process was extremely personally satisfying as well. I listed many items online for sale as well as held a large garage sale in Miami to raise as much money as possible before I left. All things considered, I was pretty successful and made a decent amount that'll definitely help me this summer with my travel expenses. To be honest, I do not have a strong interest in entrepreneurship as a career, however, I do find the principle to be very compelling and could potentially inform future investments or lead to sources of supplementary income. Initially, I signed up for this course as I need it in order to satisfy a requirement, but I do genuinely think that it has the potential to benefit me in some way. This semester I hope to gain more insight into the world of entrepreneurship and discover things that I can take away in order to benefit me going forward.
