After the entrepreneurship class that consisted of two extremely successful guest speakers, for the first time I had an idea of what type of career I wanted to pursue. Being an entrepreneur is all about innovation; building something that is not there. I have always wanted to stand out of the crowd and wanted to accomplish creating or developing something which sets me apart from every other businessman, being an entrepreneur does just that. Erik Carlson, a real estate developer, is the head of Anthem Properties and has really inspired me to become an entrepreneur and get involved in the world of property development.

Mr. Carlson encountered a lot of obstacles en route to becoming an extremely successful entrepreneur, but in the end he came out strong. I really admired everything he had to say and really took a lot of valuable lessons from that lecture. Mr. Carlson stressed the value of creativity and how important it is to be prosperous in life. Being an entrepreneur is not a job occupation, rather it revolves around being creative and building empires through strategical vision. At the end of the day who would not love to be their own boss, with entrepreneurship this can be accomplished.
