Co-Founder
I'm an entrepreneur and I help build homes for in-need families in Mexico.
My day to day consists of balancing three things: 1. Trying to add value to the efforts of the team that designs and fabricates our products for the construction industry; 2. Dealing with the finances and legal and governmental aspects, things you need to do yourself or stay on top of if outside experts are in charge; 3. Customer relationships and strategic thinking about what markets to pursue, basically marketing and sales at a granular and very high level.
Here's the first step for college students
As a college student, you have an advantage. Entrepreneurial Studies is a MAJOR now and in my day we could hardly spell it. DO THE HARD WORK and learn finance and accounting. Be proficient at Excel, even if your business focus is not in the financial area. Many people in business or engineering find themselves with "P&L responsibility" even if they don't own a business. Be fearless, try things, and figure it out as you go! Get involved on campus!
