The three industries that I choose to research and analyze are Marketing, Architectural Design, and Entrepreneurship. I settled on Entrepreneurship, because I really have a desire to run my own business someday. In choosing Entrepreneurship I thought of some businesses that I might be interested in running.
Here they are in no particular order:
-
Ceramics
-
Bed & Breakfast
-
Coaching and Mentoring
-
Architectural Design
-
Photography Training
-
Graphic Design
-
Real Estate Development
I would be more interested in taking over an existing business rather than starting something from scratch. My wife and I have discussed a ceramics business that we know of and think it would be kind of cool to run something like that and expand it into so much more.
Coaching and mentoring, I like this area, because I enjoy helping people and to see how my help can make a difference in their lives.
I might be interested in creating a photography training program that people could sign up for and we would travel to different places and produce hands-on photography work together in small groups.
The career assessment said that the real estate development was an area that I would be good in. This would take a lot more capital. Who knows, maybe down the road this might be something that I would invest in.
Bed & Breakfast and Architectural Design were my top 2 picks. In my research with Architectural Design, I think I would really enjoy this area of work. However, I currently lack the educational and practical experience that I would need to make it work.
The Bed & Breakfast idea is something that I have researched quite a bit. I have even found one for sale in Alaska that looks very enticing. The things that I am learning in this course have been very helpful in this pursuit.
