Michael Tessier, is a current fourth year entrepreneurship student from the University of Alberta’s School of Business. He has recently been recognized for an outstanding feat. In the midst of working towards his BCOM degree, he has started up and pursued his own landscaping business, with a mere $10,000 in funding. He has had a passion of the young age of 13, by which he expressed and started off with by buying and selling cars before he even had a drivers licence. Not surprisingly, and extremely relatable, when interviewed, Michael stated his hardest challenge has the limiting factor of time. As a student currently still adapting to the university coarse load, independence, and overall lifestyle, I must agree that time management is very difficult, and is a very important thing to be able to master in order to ensure further success in any aspect which one chooses to pursue. One thing that has been said many times is that one must be passionate about what they choose to pursue in entrepreneurship in order to ensure success, Michael also included this statement into his interview. This statement is very important to take into consideration for those choosing to pursue careers in entrepreneurship.
